Ran into a friend of a friend this morning who works at WalMart. He told me they had an all-out fist fight in the TP aisle yesterday. Had to shut down a complete section of the store. They are also not going to accept returns on TP from the fools who bought hundreds of rolls. I did go to the grocery last night to stock up on beer. I have plenty of everything else all the time: food, water, cash, firewood, ammo...
It will be interesting to see how sheepish folks are if this thing plays out like I expect...

" the fools who bought hundreds of rolls"
That's capitalism, pure and simple, unless the gutter is your drinking water source.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

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??!
Facts are stubborn things.

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? Wow, aren't you clever and witty! You really got me there.. Well, I'm quite regular. I don't eat at Taco Hell nor do I eat foods that send me running for the toilet. I wake up, go to bathroom take a shower. It's a daily routine. Of course, there's the occasional need other times. I didn't know we were discussing camping and road trips. I think the discussion was about your general practices during your normal routine. Yes, I leave the house. Do YOU take weekly camping expeditions and road trips? Rhetorical question, really don't need an answer. Just teasing you and playing it "literal". I obviously prefer my own throne but if I am on a drive or vacation, you do what you can.

Poor Beavis  Yeah butt what about "Butt" Head   reminds me of the joke about a fluffy bunny hopping up to a bear doing his doo-ty. Bear asks the bunny: "Does your scoot stick to your fur?" Bunny says: "No, Why?" Bear says: "Good!" As he quickly swipes the bunny off his feet with his paw and...

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.

"can you spare a square?"  all out here as well. my wife knows a lady the next town over that does taxes inside wal-mart. she said the other day, the kid was wheeling out a cart full of TP, and he got mobbed by the fools ! people were shoving, pushing, and climbing over each other to grab as much as they could. we have lots of dirty shop rags, junk mail [full supply replenished daily, monday through saturday], old socks, old sheets and pillow cases, etc. just cut up the big items to a comfortable size, install a bucket with a lid in the throne room, wash when dirty, and re-use. just like a family with babies did in the good 'ol days. no diaper pins required this go around.

Rocky Be careful not to compare ending numbers to beginning numbers. We know that covid is both much more contagious, and has a much higher mortality rate (H1N1 looks like its mortality rate was 0.02%, South Korea is at ~0.6% for covid with the best response so far, other places are much higher than that even). H1N1 was only contagious for about a day before symptoms appeared, and a week afterwards. Covid appears to be contagious in people that never show any symptoms. Is it worth fighting over TP about? Nope! Is it worth shrugging off and ignoring? Nope!
If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
