I was able to get 4 rolls/week from my local catering company (who quickly transitioned to delivering a mix of prepped meals and basic raw ingredients, including TP that was packaged for commercial use). Against the ToS from their TP vendor? Who knows? But, there was TP out there, just not on shelves at the local grocer.
