I shopped at Costco this morning just after it opened. As I’m entering the store I see multiple people leaving with carts carrying a huge pack of TP. Some also had paper towels.
As I was shopping I saw a lot more carts with a big pack of TP (customers are limited to one.) I have been there frequently in the past couple of months and I did not observe this in other trips.
I think normies are starting to wake up about shortages!
The very act of limiting it scares people, and that may be driving the TP purchases more than people being aware of what's actually going on. That said, I hope you're right.
SIGH ..hope he’s right too !
