Curious. Why did you go? What did you need in bulk?

My FIL bought (I counted) 296 rolls of toilet paper.
Just for him and my MIL.

Also a similar number of paper towels and tissues.

I was at Sam's Tuesday. Not a single roll of toilet paper nor a single roll of paper towels was available.

They were limiting customers to two cases of water. I only wanted and bought only one. I only wanted and needed one of their large packs of toilet paper.

We went earlier as well and it was a total shite show. We should have walked back out, I've never seen Sam's so busy. All TP, gloves, anything antibacterial was gone. People are fricking rude too, bunch of assholes.

I went to Sams and Walmart in Anderson SC today. They were not out of anything and no one was panicking or buying up anything.
Some places may handle shite differently than others?

Did you go out shopping just so you can bitch about other people? If so, I can introduce you to my Dad who is an angry old prick too.


This is what I was thinking as I was reading this shite. We get it. There is no TP anywhere (however, while everyone on social media is bitching about how walmart and target, etc is out of TP.. A friend of mine sent me a picture from the dollar store. He was out, they were out at walmart.. Went to the dollar store and they had a shelf full of TP).

I bet Charmin is loving this.

So your father-in-law is one of the fricking idiots that is causing the problems for everyone else?

Tell him the good news about that. The weak and the stupid go first. We won't have to put up with him much longer.

My wife thinks this is silly the same as I do which is odd because she is a germaphobe.

She's also likes a good deal like all Asians which is why we shop at Sam's. Not out of panic.

Mmhmm. Great timing and very smart to go stock up on EVOO , lump crab and 3 lbs of frozen blueberries right now.

I had been seeing the Charmin Forever Roll ads on Facebook for the longest time. The Forever roll is a roll of Charmin that comes in a commercial bathroom size. It is supposed to be better than the John Wayne stuff. For a typical household, one of those forever rolls should last a month.

I actually went to their site today. And they sold out too.

He had sent a pic boasting about and I called him out on fricking it all up for the rest of us.
His only supporter was my idiot germaphobe SIL

Either you have never been to Sam's or you are being purposely obtuse like usual trying to make some lame gotcha. They sell stuff sized towards families. Not everything is industrial quantities.

I just got back from wall marks and they were 99% out of:

Bread
Pasta (ramen, spaghetti, etc)
Canned vegetables
Canned soups
Canned meats (tuna, chicken, etc)

You mean he posted that he had it? He is a dumbass. Now you let everybody know where there's an ample supply if they run out.

I'm somewhat of a germaphobe too, but I still would not go crazy buying up a room full of toilet paper. I went to Sam's and could not get one large pack which is all I went after.
