TP shortages again
« on: November 16, 2020, 08:11:13 PM »
They are having runs shortages on toilet paper in Reno. I didn't see if our Costco was out on Saturday but they were out of Lysol spray cans so good thing we stocked up on items a couple of weeks ago. People are driving from CA to here to try and get supplies. The Covid spike is to blame they say.

Maybe people use the crapper more when there's a virus floating around?  :lol_hitting:

Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Yeah there is no bottom to the stupid barrel but at least their butts are clean.

You guys have to stop using 30 sheets per wipe.  :93:  My girlfriend says you only need 4 sheets per poop. I glad I still have a closet full from the last TP hoarding event. There has been no Lysol in my area since the last panic .

LOL ---- Take your girlfriend over to the Taco Palace and have the Grande' platter -- within 24 hours I'll bet she'd change her mind about that "4 sheets per poop" rule.

How hard is it to grab a spare 12 roll package of TP when there's no emergency on? Store it under the stairs with those light bulbs and cans of spam.

Remember, a lot more waste is being generated and dumped at home these days instead of going down the company's crappers!   Guess what I'm doing now?!  :))

Came back from Costco a few days ago. There was plenty of TP, but almost no Costco brand Kirkland paper towels or facial tissue . They still have a limit of one package each, but it's the paper towels and facial tissue that are scarce around here. Not sure why that is, but I notice the same thing at Walmart the other day as well. Strange!!!!

Maybe it is because they steal all their TP at their gov't job. We are well stocked on the sanitizing essentials since we have buying some whenever we find it on the shelves. The hardest item to find has been the cans of Lysol spray but we have about 10 cans or so.

Can't find paper products in Maine either, I wonder if Bidet manufacturers are cashing on Covid :D I did find hand sanitizer for 9.90 a gallon, so I bought 2 gallons

Didn't they learn anything from the last wuhan scare??

 As we say at work" just when you think you've idiot proofed something, they come out with the new and improved idiot"

Kinda like the current ammo drought. I guess the right wing hoardes ammo and the left hoards TP.
