It's a fun and silly article, but it would take a vasty greater disruption to actually cause a toilet paper shortage. The "problem" right now is that deliveries don't happen every 3 hours, so if people buy out all the TP at a store they have to wait for that TP to get restocked. It's not as if the trucks have stopped coming or the toilet paper factories have shut down. People just need to wait a few days, which is unusual but not really a problem.
- pdonis 7y ago> People just need to wait a few days I have been unable to find TP at any store within a half hour's drive from my house for about a week and a half now.
- californical 7y agoI got desperate this morning and woke up early to wait in line outside of a store before it opened (which on its own was insane), only to find that they didn't have any stock come in overnight. Rushed over to the next store -- queue of people around the block waiting to get in. Drove to another town at 7:30am and tried their store, and they had TP but only small packages, limit of one, and I got one of the last ones. Not looking forward to doing this again in a week or so, but at least we got some.
- bachmeier 7y agoI had to drive 800 miles and not one store along the way had TP.
- Digit-Al 7y agoWhere I am it's the same. I went to do my normal weekly shop today; there was no toilet roll (luckily I bought a 9pk a few weeks ago so have enough left to last me a couple of months), no eggs, no chicken, almost no peanut butter (only a really expensive brand was left). Crazy. It's been impossible to find toilet roll and hand sanitiser for about two weeks now.
