I ordred 11 items from Wally World today. 6 items out of stock. No substitutions provided where they are suppose to. Trying Kroger tomorrow
WeMistbornsNeedNotMakeSense
They need to limit number of purchases for these. And use that money to subsidize bidets

YEAH!!!! FUCK YOU!!!!

roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I just don’t get it. I really don’t
dargrin
It’s also somewhat the company’s fault for allowing this behavior to continue as well
prophet002
There's a black lady and a white lady. Maybe. JUST MAYBE they're buying it for a school? Homeless shelter? Church? Morons

PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING STUPID....unless this is for a church or homeless people. I dunno.
ohwhyohwhy
Just want to put it out there that we bump into a man who also bought 6 large bags of toilet paper (9 rolls each), when we ask him why so
Many, he said they r for his 3 elderly neighbors . So, when u see ppl like this, ask first, then yell at them later depending the reason
VandelayIndustriesLatexSalesman
What if they lie though?
He could be, but I believed him though.

I'm just glad I was able to buy some TP before it sold out. It was the last pack left in the store.
originalfloorislava
There is a slight possibility that they're providing for those less fortunate and vulnerable
Ploty
It's really not helping to ease the panic spreading these kinda pics
applegak
We need people at supermarket parking lots dressed up as Septa Unella with a bell, shaming everyone with carts of TP
HaunterHallow
Sometimes theres people who own small business shops and restock at a warehouse store. Can’t tell if they’re a dick from one picture alone.
codyshredd
And now the problem for normal people is getting a regular amount.

Well... After the aeronautics industry shuts down temporarily it is good to know I can go make cottonelle
TacTheScribbler
A buddy told me about story he read wherein a person bought too much to fit in their car. If I were the store manager, I'd refuse to let
the customer leave with more than they can transport. Refund for what they leave, sure, but don't let 'em take it all.
rmathewes4
If they bought more than they can transport, fuck em. Sales are final for assholes
I agree, but I'm also thinking of the store's reputation, which, unfortunately, could be ruined by people like this.
Targe0
All you need is your normal amount plus one more pack. And the ones who are trying to buy bulk to on sell it, they are scum.
SubtleHarbinger
I'm convinced that some people don't really think they'll need this stuff, they just don't want anyone else to get it.
Rmutt17
I would just yell out “Boy brother you must have one dirty asshole” and run like hell...

Some just buy because everyone is buying. They don't even think.

That is the entire basis of American culture
SpotlightStealer
I might give you our economy, but not our entire culture
ExileonDaytonStreet
I think it helps them feel like they’re doing something about a situation they have little control over
Cocoarico
Stop being so reasonable, this is the internet after all.
No at this point they got over seeing the rest of the world doing it and felt left out.
admeaz0123
Ppl see others buying, assume it's a major issue, follow trend out of fear that if they don't it'll be too late and they will look dumb 1/
But planning ahead by following what mass panic deemed priority means plans r rooted on irrational logic, hence self fulfilling dumbness
IflingPoo
Probably planning on re-selling it at a hefty price. Loser.
battlepants
I just really hope that these stores grow a pair and refuse to accept the returns on the stuff that didn't resell.
"What you need? I got it. 1-ply, 2-ply, quilted, scented, unscented, standard, jumbo, jumbo Jr, soft, ultra soft, ultra plush or napkins."
No no no, buy the two and three ply then break them down into one ply. That way you multiply your profits.
pegmis
How much for 30 sheets of quilted 2ply?
........ How much you got?

Probably a few out there who actually feel this way. But I think some actually think that we aren't going back to our way of life.
iworkforjesus
We call those people "stupid heads"
PimpinKen
Oh we arent, but things arent going to change that drastically either.
jessenator
Wasn't this person someone who supported multiple special needs households? Or was that an elaborate prank?
BeanMugged
Don't shoot the messenger - but apparently shes a carer and was buying for 9 different disabled people...
mtloech
I care for the elderly in their homes and I don't buy 25 packs at a time. I only shop for what the one client needs. I call B.S.!
offIN30secORless
So you make separate trips to the store for each one? Then when there is non left after the first trip they are just screwed?
Just saw this...Yes, I'm assigned to a client and will only purchase for that client. But I'm creative, Kleenex and baby wipes work.
downvoteacct
Wife & I went out today and bought groceries for four different elderly neighbors who are afraid to go out in public.
Someshithead241
Thats still a lot for 9 people
Taxicat
Not for disabled people who might have various bowel issues. Then things can get quite a bit messier than usual.
That's still a shit ton (pun intended) for that many people.
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
Just off of what we can see, I would say that equals about 18 rolls per person.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
That's about right actually, maybe a week or two until about trip.
bakkebord
May be doubling as Kleenex/tissue, not just for toilet tissue.
NowYouAreMine
I was at the store earlier and this lady saw me coming towards the last 5 packs of toilet paper, she immediately dumps them in her basket...
ISmellDeadPeople
It's just a little shocking when you see people pushed out of their usual routines. Some 90% of folks are running on autopilot, and have 1/2
purely lizard brain activity underneath that. I guess that might be what they mean by "NPCs"...
I laughed to myself at how stupid and selfish she looked because she didn't know i didn't even need any
(And no not because I already have some hoarded)
Ploonet
Moments like those show our true character, and she showed hers /:
Yep she sure did
IAmTheBadW01f
I checked out behind a guy with a cart full of bread the other day. I asked him if he was buying it to wipe his butt since there's no tp
BklynPunisher
Mobileuserwholikestoberandom
One guy told me “You don’t need toilet paper when you have beer”.
DeviatedPrevert
shame on the store for not having a limit
SexualConsent
I don't really think you can blame the store for this, it's actively in their interest to sell their product to whoever buys it. Shame on ½
this person for hoarding and buying up all this stuff unnecessarily.
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
It's not their job to provide for others, but as we live in a society, it's this asshole's job not to actively hurt others.
NotYourAverageWeeab
That's freedom baby! USA USA USA
notverysmartt
Can’t hear you over all this freedom!
dudehappyloops8
Time to boycot all stores with no limits
boobityboobityboobity
People buying tp in a frenzy happened faster than the stores had to adjust, but put up rules once they saw the trend.
MySpiritAnimalIsTheUnpopularOpinionPuffin
Because we should all be accountable for other people's shitty behavior?
that's not why we have rules, we have rules to prevent shitty behavior
As a society. But do we blame the people making the rules for not having them? No. We make the rules AFTER shitty people do shitty things.
stores put limits on items all the time, what is your issue, friend?
No issue. You're assuming the store doesn't give a shit yet you have absolutely no context to the photo. Only the caption.
tooomanystevesgotbanned
Agreed, wtf?
also, this pic could be from 5 years ago, there is no date
DontLetYourMeatLoaf
Find the pic from a few days ago and zoom in on a car plate and look at the tags. Maybe? I'm curious as well but more lazy so I won't
Good point.
v
?
People are assholes. Can't blame the store for selling. Some people are bastards
I got yelled at yesterday for buying a bunch of canned food. I donate to the food bank. A single picture can be taken out of 1/2
Context really easy. But honestly, these guys look like assholes. It's not the store it's the people
AStrongFemaleCharacter
Shouldn’t that be “comrade”?
Yup! I didn't make this and was to lazy to find the blank but I break it out sometimes because it cracks me up whoever made it missed that
PorneliusHubertII
I've said it before and I'll say it again, they are not in buisness to prevent people buying stuff. They want to clear shelves.
ViolentlyOfferingBeerToSheep
if they completely clear the entire shelf of the main thing everyone comes to the store for though, and everyone becomes convinced they dont
have it, then people will stop coming in and seeing the other shit they didn't come into the store for and potentially buying that
People are going to shop at the store that is most convenient to them. You arent going to stop shopping at a store because they were out of
Stock of an item that was panic bought.
MarkOfTheCovenant
I went thru Walmart to get food and never once saw management. The kid at the check out was like 19. What's he gonna do to stop someone?
McMeowenstein
Gee I don’t know, maybe not serve them? The pricks can’t steal 500 rolls of TP.
Point being most employees don't care and have no power of they did. Stores too busy to keep someone on "patrol" too.
robulosity
Costco has been managing to do it just fine
Yeah that's good and all but not everywhere can. Our box stores are less than half the size of a Costco
