There is not yet light at the end of the tunnel but progress continues to be made reducing the backlog of orders at the ABC warehouse.
After reaching a high of 220,027 pending cases on March 1, the backlog fell to 145,929 cases last week, a a reduction of 33%.
Cycle time (amount of time from order to cases shipped) fell to 13.7 days, substantially less than March 1 when it was 25.7 days.
ABC made progress because it caught a break on the number of cases ordered versus cases shipped. If examining the chart above, one will see the line is fairly flat for the later March and most of April. The problem for ABC was it was receiving as many or more cases ordered than cases shipped. ABC caught a major break last week when shipments outpaced orders by 12,151 cases. If ABC can catch similar breaks in the upcoming weeks, the backlog should continue to fall. The chart below is based on the difference between orders and shipments.

SMDH. ABC needs to GTF out of the way.
Cinco de Mayo will bust those numbers.
A private business would not survive a failure to service customers of this magnitude. But, the government monopoly will be propped up regardless of performance. And that's reason #315 why you don't give government a monopoly over part of commerce. We have met the idiots, and they are us.
Tunnel vision is an anal perspective. State can collect tax at point of retail sale and save everyone the angst and punitive expense of an intermediary pirate by it getting out of direct mismanagement of private liquor businesses.
This likely started out as a grift for insiders but has evolved into a cluster .....
The ABC really should have blamed this fiasco on Jimmy Carter or Michael Dukakis. Some folks.
This one belongs to Tate and the Legislature.
Mississippi Republicans are not conservatives. They could end this corrupt system in a one-day special session.
They’re right-wing socialists.
Exactly
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Does anyone really think Tate and the Leg will pull the plug and write off the new ABC warehouse after selling $95 million in bonds to build it?
FYI - Ran by McDade's last week. They had just received their weekly delivery - it was only wine bottles and literally none of the spirits they had ordered. They said restaurants are buying from them too.
@11:34 - that doesn’t sound like limited government to me. That’s government taking a stake in business.
Sounds kinda socialist to me.
I’m going to let you drunks in on a little secret. The free market has already worked in your favor. Your local convenience store sells premixed drinks in a can like Jack and Coke Zero, Seagrams and Sprite. Etc. you can also do your kidneys and livers a favor get some Hemp THC gummies at the local CBD store.
