You Miss Gardski’s in Amarillo? They Were Spotted Here Yesterday

We have heard this time and time again about the supply chain shortage. There are things that are harder to come by because of this issue. There was a time when we couldn't find toilet paper.

Then it turned into a shortage of alcohol. Turkey's could be hard to come by this year for Thanksgiving. The one shortage I have also seen is at fast food places. Someone posted yesterday that they got their McDonald's food in a plastic bag because the one they went to were out of McDonald's bags.

The Styrofoam Cups are Hard to Come By

This is hitting everyone a little differently. Try being a business owner and being told you can't get styrofoam cups. That can be a big problem if all you serve are soft drinks and teas.

I was talking with Charlie the other morning and he said he stopped somewhere and all they had were Hastings cups. Woah. That is definitely a blast from the past. I miss having Hastings here in Amarillo. I worked at the one on Georgia for several years.

Now Another Past Business is Reminding Us How Much We Miss Them

I saw a friend of mine post on Facebook about a cup she got yesterday. This brought back so many memories. We actually worked at this restaurant together back in the nineties. This photo brought back so much nostalgia.

I wouldn't even be angry getting one of these. In fact I think I may have to stop by today and see if I can get one for myself. Man, Gardski's. I miss that place too. I see by the responses to this photo that I was not the only one.

I know everyone is having a hard time getting cups, but we’re these just in a warehouse somewhere?? Lol makes ya wonder for sure. Sure was a fun place to hang out and eat all those years ago. - Shawna

 

That fried cheese though… - LaVerna

I'm just going to leave this here so we can all reminisce on all the great food.

Has anyone else got a cup from an Amarillo business long gone? Which one was it and where did you get it? Bonus points if you have a photo to share.
