I was using Sam’s concierge service (LOVE it) and heard a “gentleman” arguing with the clerk that he had a RIGHT to buy 5 packages of toilet paper. Ultimately, he was refused any service. Wish more stores were willing to stand behind their guidelines like that. I went over a month without an egg in the house because InstaCart shopped too late and I refuse to go into any store. So, I’d guess folks are still hoarding. Maybe those that missed out on the initial hoarding are now taking their turn?
And then there’s my neighbors. Their lanai is crammed with stuff — toilet paper, paper towels, bottled water, canned goods, etc. They had a heck of a fight when they found out they wouldn’t be able to return any of it. Hate to admit it, but I had a good laugh about their little problem. Think it’ll take them about two years to use everything that doesn’t go bad.

I agree completely with this post. No store should accept any returns of items that left the store during the pandemic and are attempted to be brought back after. This is especially true of all the critical products which are being hoarded (e.g., toilet paper, tissues, masks, hand sanitizers, canned goods, etc.)
