There may be some that hoard that have problems, but I have always stocked up on several items. I may only use 5 bottles of water per week. But when I buy , I get a months worth. The same with many things. That is why pantries were built. That is why Costco, SAMS do business. When the COVID-9 crisis erupted, I made sure I had a months worth of needed items that I have seen hoarded in prior emergencies. TP was one item. Who wants to stand in line to buy this crap when the shelves are bare. Recall that our pioneer ancesters had to make sure they could withstand long periods without certain items being available. Perhaps it Is in our genes.
My question is why are these items unavailable. One evening on a recent Lake Sumpter walk, we noticed several customers coming out of Winn Dixie with cart loads of TP. Sure they may have limits , but what clerk is going to argue. Hopefully, that is not the stuff that is showing up for sale at new general stores
