I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter man -
Originally posted by hairymouse View PostYes, except I got in so early it wasn't actually hoarding. The shelves were still full and %99 of people hadn't figured out what was coming so my shopping didn't stop anyone else from getting anything. In fact, it was helpful because when there was an actual shortage of TP I didn't need to buy.
Does anyone remember the post on here about what kind of things the people missed during the siege of Sarajevo? After reading that I immediately went out shopping.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Would it be wrong to stock up on toilet paper now? Every store is awash in toilet paper, I could take home 25 packs and it wouldn't stop one person from buying anything.
I've said it before, this demonization of "greedy hoarders" as the reason that shelves are empty was a distraction for the simple minded. The real reason was a failure of the supply chains because the grocery stores built them inadequate in order to save money.Comment
