I was at the 466a Aldi a week ago and they had their signs up---"take one of each only" of paper-goods. BUT seemed to have plenty. I'd heard maybe 2 weeks ago that people were stocking up at SAM's...as in a hurricane or whatever, is coming. But went to Neighborhood Walmart and there was more than enough there and people didn't seem to be in the hoarding mind-set. Maybe it's when rumors start and people get the crowd-effect and begin doing it....or maybe if the shelves are empty it's a warehouse issue and not a store issue. There is a trickle down effect before it hits the consumer.
