McDonald’s grappling with tight supply of to-go bags, straws

Fast-food giant McDonald’s is facing a tight supply of paper to-go bags and straws, the company has warned workers — the latest supply-chain hiccup to emerge as the shifting demands of the pandemic continue to cause headaches across industries.

McDonald’s urged restaurant owners in an internal message to limit orders of bags from suppliers because orders are running ahead of last year’s numbers, which were already high due to the surge in take-out orders from the pandemic, The Wall Street Journal reported. But in a statement to The Post, the burger chain insisted the clampdown would not affect customers.
