So I work in an Aussie supermarket as a front end supervisor. Before we open I grab about 5 packs off the shelf and hide them in a cupboard at the front desk. When I see elderly people asking if any is left because they've run out, I hand them a pack saying that someone exceeded the limit.

A quick PSA for those who are rushing to get everything, think of those who can't run, because this has been going for awhile and they will be running out.

I know this is a weird confession bear, but I'm pretty sure I can be extremely reprimanded for this.

FP edit: holy balls you guys. My front page request is that you all be excellent to each other, we are in some trying times and we need to work together, not fight! That and also nudes.

You get my upvote....v

You are a hero, I’m in my 30’s and I thank you for looking out for more vulnerable parts of society when people are losing their heads!

Just take what you need if you need it. That’s how we get stores from not running out of things.

It’s known as a humblebrag, and it’s usually not appreciated, but I think this time we’ll allow it.

On the contrary, I see this as a suggestion to potential helpers in the same situation.

Yeah, that's what telling people about the great things you do is supposed to inspire, that's a humblebrag.

Guys, please get as much TP and other provisions as you'll need. Exactly as much. Not 10x more just in case. If you have extra give it away.

As a younger family, I had to do my normal grocery shopping a few days ago. We looked like doomsday preppers. Not to mention my kids are 1/?

If your bosses are too inconsiderate to think about this themselves, and then reprimand you for being a good human, fuck 'em ...

Ok, even though it’s a bad idea to spend all your money on TP, if you’re in Australia and need it desperately, Bunnings sells 2.8km rolls :)

Is there still kitchen paper towels?

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That was the first thing I looked for at the market, but there still was TP here.

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Also maybe I should buy a couple rolls of paper towels now that there are plenty, before TP runs out and people realize that works too

I just found out my Sister, who does not visit them very often, dropped by just to check up on them and give them some extra supplies.
