Huh, so that is why Google Maps keeps asking me whether TP was in stock every time I go the store - I did not realize there were still actual shortages on that elsewhere, I thought it was just a couple of days of panicing in March and that Google was just being weird / behind the times.
FWIW, I haven't noticed such disruptions here (Finland) since March, so it probably varies a lot regionally.
- usrusr 6y agoWell, a country of 5.5 million where two of the three biggest paper manufacturers are based, if the TP situation was worse we would all envy you as the land of the chosen.
- frosted-flakes 6y agoFunnily enough, it's very common in Finland to have hand-held sprayers beside the toilets, even in public washrooms. It's not like America, where it's either toilet paper, or hop in the shower.
- loungelover31 6y agoI Imagine it takes a lot for Finland to run low on paper products
- ideals 6y agoWhy is Google asking you if TP is in stock at the store? Or I guess through what app is Google sending you these questions? I haven't heard of push notifications or whatever it is asking for feedback on in-store items.
- mNovak 6y agoI occasionally get questions in Google maps about the places I'm at (e.g. do they have a wheelchair ramp etc); I could imagine that happening here.
- AnssiH 6y agoYep. The most common questions nowadays seem to be about wheelchair access, wheelchair-accessible parking, and whether the business accepts cards (which is another weird one for Finland - who doesn't accept cards here?). For restaurants, they may ask whether there is takeout, lunch, vegetarian options, whether the place is romantic, etc. (And of course you can turn the questions off, but I kinda like answering them.)
