Yeah I have a feeling that any store that has been "out of them" for some time is actually just the manager/employees receiving them and keeping them for themselves/their friends.

I need to find someone "on the inside" to hoard them all for me.

Btw if you cant find any reloads what makes the BB better then serve? At least that is 1k x However many serve accounts you have a month at OD/Supply store which is at least better then nothing to load the BB with

I found beans at two gas stations (MurphEx and Val), neither of which would take cc. I tried WG as well, but was told it had to be cash as well. I plan on trying 7-11 and OD sometime in the next week.

I went bean farming today. Where I am currently on assignment (in the south) the pastures are plentiful. There are too many beans to fill up with the buy 1 get 4 points free extravaganza, I have even been loading them up on the regular deal. The farm today had at least 100 barrels of beans in stock.

About 2 dozen or so barrels of beans in stock at my local market tonight. Supply is pretty steady - must be using grow lights.

The farm manager at my bean farm has been a great help. Can anyone think of away that least looks like a bribe to award the head farm manager at my local bean market?

That is just nuts and so hard to believe! The most an OD ever had when I entered was 47 of them. When I left, they had 0.

They have never been restocked since

Some appropriate edible treats seem like a good choice!
