@Donald28
Two weeks have gone by since you made that post Donald and with what is going on in the US at the moment, you probably wish you have not made that post!
I always buy toilet paper in a 40 pack, obviously because it is cheaper per roll that way.
And Don, I can assure you Australia has 5 major national retail chains that do a great trade at supplying toilet paper in the largest packs that customers can physically carry.
None of us wait until the last roll is on the dispenser before we start thinking about a restock but, this whole toilet paper hording thing took most all of us by surprise.
Now think about it for a minute Donald, take yourself out of the current situation and write down the 10 most likely things to experience a run-on in an emergency situation?
There would be
1/. water
2/. plenty of heat and eat meals.
3/. Gasoline.
4/. Dog food
5/. Fresh fruit and veg.
6/. A generator in case the power gives out.
7/. Flashlight and plenty of batteries.
8/. At least a week of non perishable food and a can opener.
9/. Matches, paper, pencils.
10/. Non prescriptions medicines
I will bet you that arcade game shed of yours..... sh*t paper would not have featured in your top ten list!
By the time we decided it was time to restock, the shelves were empty, goose-egg, zippo!
Some things in life you can't adequately prepare for because, you just don't see them coming.
Try not to be too hard on us Donald, because we didn't have a stray 40 pack sitting around on the off chance that a global pandemic might suddenly overtake us!
Cheers......Rob
