Toilet paper [View all]

Last edited Thu Oct 3, 2024, 03:24 PM - Edit history (1)

Not a political statement but a human statement.

Just got back from Sam’s the rush for toilet paper and other paper products is inn full swing there. Saw a bunch of people loading up on it. One woman had a dolly stacked about 3 feet high with nothing but toilet paper. She had already put some boxes of it in her van. She had several brands of it including the monster rolls used in businesses.

I guess she will be prepared for the zombie apocalypse. I just don’t get it. Buying a years worth of toilet paper doesn’t make sense. Did she run out of toilet paper after her purchase during Covid?

Edit: She wasn’t the only one with only paper products. She was the one with the most.
