Because you actually need the money for food. But if you eat you will need more toilet paper. A catch 22 if I ever saw one.

Why the need to return toilet paper? Even if you bought too much it is not like it is going to go bad. Duh! ..

When I think of Capitalism, pure and simple, unnecessarily panicking and buying up boxes and boxes of TP isn't exactly what comes to mind.
I'm glad they won't let them return them. Can't people stay level headed, and just practice good hygiene, avoid crowds when possible, and stay home if you have a compromised immune system??! Everybody thinks different. When you buy TP in a "panic"(?) and sell it for 10x(?) what you paid for it, and return what you don't sell, for what you originally paid for it, that makes you a free market "capitalist". Although some call it greed. You feeling the burn? You better stock up on ointment....you’re gonna need it! You ever consider "poetic justice" in who might be first in line recently to get a disease that has a potential 7 day incubation period , before the tests show positive.? Now that would be a really great burn worth noting. Got any more off topic replies in the wings?
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Call me OCD, but I've never been a fan of taking paper and wiping my butt with it after crapping. It's good for smearing it around I guess. I've always gotten in the shower. You are lucky enough to find a shower at a restaurant? On a road trip? At work? When camping? You do leave the house, right? I wouldn't normally bring TP from home to take to a restaurant, on a road trip, at work, and hopefully I don't need to take any with me every time I leave the house. I might have brought some from home if I were to go camping, but I don't do camping. Tomorrow you wouldn't have to have restaurants on your list, the only ones open in our area will be the ones with a drive through. It could be a tough spring! Gene

By no one needed to be mentioned: "Am I off my rocker here ? What the heck ! THIS IS JUST CRAZY "
Since you asked, first yes, and NO.
You likely are under 60, in a lower risk group, in a area with delayed infection reports/deaths, have no close relatives over 60 and/or with underlying conditions, and maybe a risk taker ( don't wear your seat belt 100% of the time, don't get yearly flu shots, don't wear a helmet, grind without safety glasses, don't always wear sunscreen, etc WAG). Its a free country, take any risks you choose that don't effect others. However in this case, carefree attitude for your own safety can very much impact others significantly by transmitting a disease they prefer not to endure or possibly succumb to.
Have a little consideration for others who view it differently, its only a matter of weeks, if its gotten under control, and we can all move on.

Again, the past few weeks have been very instructive. If and when things get back to normal, I need to get serious about my preps. It's obvious society will sink into complete chaos and mayhem if anything REALLY bad happens.
People are crazy animals.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
