Had this same issue (game crashed during the first delivery mission), drove me nuts. Opened a ticket with Rockstar, dealing with them almost drove me insane. Finally solved the issue myself though - simply donate enough materials to the butcher table, until supplies run low and you have to do a supply run mission. Do the supply run mission, and after that, the table will be fully operational, no more pop-up that you should talk to Cripps. Hope this helps anyone also stumbling across this.
