The checkout girl gave me a funny look when I showed up with four rolls of tp.
The ones I remember from when I went earlier in the day were: TP, paper towels, milk, eggs, cold meds (the sinus cold meds were untouched), and bread (including bagels). TP I can almost understand, since there's a non-negligible chance of running out during a long lock-in, but, in my experience, that shit usually gets changed at a rate of, what, one roll a couple months?

Since I didn't make that clear, the shit that gets changed one roll every couple months was meant to be the paper towels. Am I missing something or is my family just unusually conservative with paper towels?
Also, looking on the internet for why people would be latching onto paper towels, I found this image:

When the recovery teams bag up the bodies of the tp hoarders, I bet they make a special note of how clean their arses are...

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

On the tv, there was this guy that bought a pack of 18 TP rolls (pretty normal buy) put it in the trunk of the car and went to put the cart back without locking it. While doing so another dude stopped behind and grabbed the tp package from the other guys trunk, then drove off. Ooops, parking lot cameras.
Those zombie apocalipse flicks never contemplated that angle. Rick and Negan fighting over TP.

The irony being that coronavirus is a respiratory issue. Not a fucking bowel movement issue. Shows how idiotic the common individual is.

Well I'm off work for the next two weeks. This week was going to be spring break anyway. At least I still get paid. My husband's having to close down for a bit, and he won't get paid.
