GO TO PLAN B, CLETUS...
Something is strange (to me).
My county has 10 cases (pop. 83K) of COVID confirmed.
At the onset of the “pandemic”, every store had a run on paper goods just like the rest of the nation.
The paper companies said that they weren’t going to shut-down, that they would preserve business as usual.
Since that initial “run”, the local shelves here have NEVER been re-stocked. Deliveries by distributors continued for meat, produce, frozen food and other normal groceries.
No paper.
Those who bought up as much paper as they could at the start (hoarders) aren’t still hoarding around here, are they? Don’t they perceive themselves as “comfy”?
So, why aren’t the chains (Meijer, Kroger, IGA) re-supplying us?
Can they not get paper products from their middle-men/distributors?
Why not?
Something just isn’t right...paper companies are still running at normal levels, buying “runs” are over (?) but shelves in this area are still bare.
Someone has got to be hoarding the paper products.

While waiting in our grocery store line on Tuesday the store employee was giving us the run down of what they did not have in that morning. One item was TP which they did have last week. Then she said “for every truck with TP we can only bring in 23,000 thousand pounds of food.”
Light went on. We are getting the food restocked. Quit buying the TP!

Re Unrestocked Toilet Paper:
Could be the employees are snapping supplies up for their own families.
Who are the owners?
