JD Vance was roundly mocked online over a trip to the supermarket where he bemoaned the steep price of eggs — and botched the photo opp.

The Republican vice presidential nominee stopped by a supermarket in Reading, Pennsylvania, with his sons over the weekend to illustrate how grocery prices have been impacted by “Kamala Harris’s policies” when he claimed a dozen eggs cost $4.

The problem? When footage of the visit emerged, Vance was quickly called out by viewers who spotted the price tag of a dozen eggs behind him was actually $2.99.

    IIRC, one of the lessons from the pandemic is that restaurant and grocery store food chains are separate things. It isn’t easy to switch between them.

    Logistics is boring, but really important.

      That makes some sense but it sounds like a problem for the companies to solve logistically and not just burden on the household buyer as a bandage.
