Bull. There's enough to go around, the logistics just can't keep up while there's a blip on demand.

Within a few more days supply and demand will balance out and it will be business as usual.

Only if retailers ration purchases. If they don't, the next lot of panic buyers will wipe stocks out.....(pardon the pun.)

That's right.

It will be hard to stop these morons, now that they've started.

Strict rationing is definitely required.

Evil turd has uttered the ukaze.

Well, as long as there is toilet paper and social distancing

My local 4 centers are still out of paper.
We ended up ordering a carton from a reputable parts supplier through the miss' buisiness.
Enough crap paper for 4 months now. The selfish freaks can have their supermarket supplies.
Funny...I'm yet to see one of these freaks....if I do it's both barrels of abuse at them.

Woolies and coles need to bring in B'doubles of the stuff. Like pallets of ice in front of servo's at Xmas. Just have a massive over supply of dunny paper. That will confuse these selfish mutts buying it all. Wink

Meanwhile, down at Coles at the other end of the shopping centre about an hour later the same thing - toilet roll shelves completely empty.

Saw signs throughout the store and a big one outside (hard to read, sorry) which said "CUSTOMER NOTICE: THERE'S ENOUGH TOILET PAPER FOR EVERYONE IF WE ALL DO THE RIGHT THING... etc. etc."

Obviously, judging by the empty shelves again, customers are NOT doing the right thing.

I did see a few packs of toilet rolls at a Shell service station where I filled up earlier in the day (1 pack per person limit) but since I'm not an insane hoarder and don't need any I didn't bother buying any.

At least here in Perth and suburbs. Might need to start mopping up some split blood in the toilet roll aisles soon the way things are going with the hoarder idiots.

Druggos, Alcos and Sex Addicts will be the first to drop off.
All of whom have low immune systems and poor health.

Let the over-population CULL begin!

Then, when the Virus has done its job - then the desperate Military nations will invade others to resurrect their broken Economies. Real Estate is the first agenda of all Militaries.
World War 3 will begin and another CULL upon an over-populated nations ruled by over-indulgent leaders.

Enex 100 Woolworths was out of toilet paper, hand sanitiser, hand wash, paracetamol, and aspirin today.
