Even if that were to happen today shelves wouldn't be stocked overnight. They use different material also, they would need enough staffing and have to make changes to reformat the rolls. Not as simple as it seems at first glance.

Last time I tried to buy paper towels and toilet paper at Sam’s Club—over a month ago, I grant you—the only paper towels left were big boxes of 2400 folded towels for dispensers. The only toilet paper left was giant rolls for restroom dispensers. That fits with what you wrote. But you know, even though they don’t fit the usual paper towel or toilet paper holders at home, they still work! Just not as well.
