I saw a post on a game forum today that Fallout 76 players are starting to hoard toilet paper in game.
The Early Bird Gets The TP

I'm so not a morning person. But desperation goads one on.So hit up Walmart shortly after they opened today. Still no TP there but they had a limited supply of ground beef, so got some. They're wisely now limiting the amount they allow customers to buy. Then hit up a Dollar General as I'd heard they get deliveries on Wednesdays. Got a 4-pack of TP. They had few packs available. Also picked up some garbage bags there as they're one of the new items being snatched up by hoarders around here it seems. Being a retired person, had the luxury of being able to shop early in the am. The poor folks who have to shop later in the day will, unfortunately, be out of luck. I don't know how much of these shortages are due to panic buying and how much is due to supply shortages, but am starting to think the federal government may have to take nearly as much interest in the state of the food and sundry supply chain as they are the medical equipment soon.
Had no tp, but they had ground beef. You have started using ground beef to wipe???? Hahaha
I'm glad I kept reading. It made more sense then.
No TP, PT, or Kleenex at our stores, but plenty of baby wipes!!!
We still have a huge costco stash of both, since well before this all started, but for those of you out there fearing butt crust or bleach buckets, I just thought I’d point that out.
Many people actually prefer them to TP anyway.

Got price gouged on a large bundle of TP about a week ago. Ladyfriend looks at the bill and says, "I hope your ass is worth it.".
True story.
True story.
Of all things people went crazy over I dont understand the TP thing. I had a good supply before all this crap started and have enough to make it to the stinky end.
My plumber friend made a sign he's giving out that says "throw everything in the toilet, it will be fine". False news.Never thought about Staples as a source of TP. Got me curious so looked on their website. You must have got the last Al, none in stock. Though could have bought a sign off them reading do not throw paper towels in the toilet.
The TP situation has convinced me that a significant portion of our population is made up of assholes.
And some are more full of shit than others.
Our local grocery store (not a national chain store) has single rolls for $0.59 a roll....limit two per visit.
?
Yes, but I bet you came to that conclusion well before this.
I visited a friend earler today to bring her some heavy duty gloves and some 99% alcohol. We took a walk together and afterwards I stopped by a Trader Joes to pick up a few things. They were very well stocked with all their usual items except toilet paper, paper towels and tofu. Tofu?? What can I say, it's L.A..
Now that our state has just issued a stay at home order, expect another wave of hoarding around here. Every week there's a new head-scratcher when it comes to hoarding. Last week, all the OTC pain relievers were gone from Walmart. Perhaps more folks are dealing with pandemic-triggered hang-overs? It's almost fun to puzzle out the why's.
