While I'm not defending Scrub, or any other establishment that "ran" out of something, you have to consider that it might be the purveyor's fault.

Years ago I was managing a well-known beach bar in the BVI, and one of my evening employees worked days at TICO. They told me to buy all the Coco Lopez I could, as there would soon be an island-wide shortage. So I cleaned out the shelves in my local RiteWay, and was able to continue making pina coladas, etc, while everyone couldn't.

Another time, over Christmas and New Year's, there was no heavy cream available for three weeks. I never understood that, as it was imported to the island by three different purveyors, and two of them got containers twice a week. Pretty hard to make an alfredo sauce without heavy cream.

The worst for me was when there was no dry cat food on island for several months. My cat was really pissed.

Or, perhaps Scrub is just inept at ordering.
