At the Hampton I'm at there are currently no shortages that I'm aware for F&B items from Sysco. At times last year there were brief shortages for things like waffle batter but that comes from Heartland Waffles. Shipments for the Treat Shop from Coke in particular due to a lack of route drivers and for some of the snacks we carry are at times backlogged by several weeks to over a month. Linen has been a challenge now for well over a year. It went from '19 into early '20 having no occupancy so the owner nixed all purchases to now having plenty of occupancy but shortages for all things terry so when things are available you hoard and buy well over what you need knowing it may who knows how long until you see that item again.

Some of what they're telling you could just be skimping and going cheap but overall it sounds very real to what the times in the industry are like right now for supplies.
