If you’re Muslim, you never run out.

If your area went Democrat in the 2016 election, you're out of TP. Seriously.

The Bottom Half of the Bell Curve spooks easily, and here, in the Pacific NW, if you linger over a cup of coffee in the morning, you are SOL. Two weeks, now, and the Democrats are still walking out of Costco with as many bales of TP as the store will allow. Shipments never last past noon.

I hope you can get someone to make the supply run for you this time. I’m in central Iowa. The store nearest me has had a small amount of TP left by early afternoon on the two weekdays this past week that I shopped on my way home. None today.

I’m a grocery trucker. Have been hauling mainly refrigerated loads this week. When I walk the stores while they’re pulling the freight off, most of our stores are empty or light on TP. Unlike at the beginning, though, paper towels, facial tissue, and paper napkins are abundant. I think I know what the workaround is for a lot of folks.

“Los Angeles area, tp arrives at the store and sells out when the store opens. Our Ralph’s (Kroger) says tp will be in store on Sunday morning; and seniors can come 1 hour before everybody else. My husband will try for it.”

Aldi wasn’t sold out this morning at 11 or so.

Barbed wire?

We would have cried with joy if we had barbed wire!

We had to use razor wire.

Razor wire dipped in acid.

In your position, I would either try to get a 3rd party to get it for you and deliver it. Even then, I’d wear gloves and open it outside into a known clean container to bring indoors. If you have to go out, I’d find/wear an N95 and gloves and be sure to use them and remove them properly.

We do similar. Wife stays home full time until this is over as she has many more issues(diabetes, CVD, weak immune system). Today was a meat/food run to SAMS and then to a local Texas chain(HEB). I wore gloves and an N95 mask. N100 or P100 would be better. Masks worn by all are a large part of why South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Japan seem to be doing better than most.
CDC telling us they only work for doctors is an outright lie.

No TP, or paper towels in my local grocery here in Pittsburgh PA suburb. Few boxes of Kleenex (R).

Is that for all WinCo’s? I live in AZ they opened some in the Phoenix area in recent years. Ben there maybe a couple of times. Do they take debit cards. Who wants to touch cash these days.

Well, I bet you’ll have to admit that that approach helped to alleviate any concurrent toothache pain you were experiencing at the time.

Do you have kids/grandkids/neighbors nearby who might make a tp/food run/delivery for you?

What other supplies are you running low on, besides tp?

Unreal aint it?

Here in NW AZ, two weeks ago all was normal. Then they shut down Vegas and they came down here and emptied the stores out here. Had a couple tell me they drove 2 hours from CA to here just for TP.

Should have barricaded the bridge at the Hoover Dam.

LOL...I warned my family, in AZ, that the great TP run would be hitting their stores, soon.

This was over a week ago.

They said, Oh, no! Our stores are fine. We have plenty.

I wonder if they stocked up.

The burbs outside Columbia where I am seem to be rebuilding.

I haven’t been in a store for a couple of days.
