I went to 2 different wally worlds in Siloam springs yesterday to get tp. Shelves were depleted. Had to buy what was avail, only 1ply and 1 pack of Charmin at the last one.
Anyone else seeing empty tp shelves? Paper towels were not empty like tp tho.
Every fall, usually late fall, I do a winter stock up on paper products, cleaning products, and such. Ok so this year I decided to do it earlier bc of the peculiarity of this election. This was about 4-5 days before Helene. I went to BJs. Was able to purchase just about everything, except TP, which they were out of. Went home, unpacked, put everything away. Spouse didn’t like the idea of running out of TP and decided to go check the local Acme. There, too, TP shelves were empty, but on the floor were 3 or 4 opened cases of Scott’s 12-packs TP. So spouse grabbed two 12 packs. Felt guilty later, asked should they take one pack back? I said hell no. We have a large family and we will be the first to be asked if we have any extra rolls. I reminded them during the great scamdemic of 2020-2021, we were able to ship 6 rolls of TP to our nephew in Michigan, 500 miles away, who couldn’t find any TP anywhere and had two children in diapers. In my view, it’s only hoarding when you’’re unwilling to share with the ones you love. Otherwise, it’s just prudent.
