Quote:

"No arrests were made."

"Violence will not be tolerated, and anyone involved in this behaviour may be committing an offence and find themselves in court," Acting Inspector New said.

Looks like it is tolerated...

Don't get between and ape and toilet paper

The mother/daughter pair with the trolley full look and sound more Panda than Ape.

We finally managed to score some TP for our bungholes today, only bought 1 pack.

Why is it that this sort of racial buggerery is just normal around here now...

carerful there, you're talking to Mr Integrity Grin

It was actually your so called "ape" that was in the right & was attacked by the mother & daughter .....

who btw had foreign accents as well.

The larger woman wanted one pack .... she should have been able to have one.

The supermarket should have put a limit & supervised the section.

Bottom line is fighting over toilet paper is the most ridiculous bs response to the concerns about corona virus.

They should be more concerned with food ......

you don't eat .... you don't poo ..... you don't poo ....you die .....

don't need to worry about the virus & there'd be no need for toilet paper. Roll Eyes

Milk. Panic for milk , boost the price, help dairy farmers. You need your milk when you cough and spit germs.

If you buy supermarket brand milks you aint helping the farmer much, only the supermarket.

It was the supermarkets that raised the price of milk and gave 100% of the raise to the farmers. It's basically charity. Not sure how they are going to handle the coming oversupply.

BS they did ... it was all hype .... long after they started (or should I say shamed into doing something) not one farmer had seen a single cent.

So there is only an expectation because coles announced they would do it?

If it is for drought relief, does that mean they stop passing it on when it rains?

The expectation is there because coles (and woolies) said they would raise the price by .10c/ltr with that extra money going towards helping the farmers. Since they raised the price by .10c/ltr specifically for drought relief, i would think they stop passing it on when they stop charging it.

It was never touted as drought relief. It was charity from the beginning. The price is still higher, despite all the rain.

Yes it was ... among other things like giving them a decent farmgate price so they didn't go out the door with production costs higher than the price per litre they were receiving.

In Hong Kong, fears about a shortage is believed to be behind an armed robbery where three men allegedly stole 600 rolls of toilet paper.

Don't tell people if you have a large amount of toilet rolls.
You'll be the target for an armed home invasion.

I order out. Worth every sheet per penny. Amasuck may still have it.
