The police put the squeeze on him.
I see, so if you own some store in the parking area, and paying all the taxes etc, you’d have no problem with people parking in front of your shop, setting up shop and selling whatever.
Right?
Anybody know if this is one of those areas that the police are not enforcing “low level” crimes?
it would be interesting if this was in an area where selling drugs, shoplifting etc are NOT being arrested. and this guy marking tp UP IS arrested.
“We went all over town last evening looking for TP.
EVERY STORE WAS EMPTY!.........................”

Try Staples.
Big deal. Did he steal the TP? If it’s his personal property, he should be able to name the price for this precious commode-ity
Each roll is individually wrapped so we use up a little more resources.
I bought a pack of 24 in January-—normal purchasing—and it was bout $15-$16 with tax. Depending on how many are ‘in a case’ this might NOT be price gouging.
Sir! Are you suggesting that people staple their anus shut to keep from having to use toilet paper!? Why, that’s .. . BRILLIANT!
So if you go into some store, say to get TP, and some slackjawed moron in front of you grabs the last 8 packages of TP, looks at you and says, “Tough luck slick”, tell me you’d have no problem with that.

He could just rent the TP.
Not much different from reading a book.
Pretty much.
Stores are one thing but this is a private citizen.
“Yeah I bet he wont be there after Cosco gets their next delivery truck this afternoon..........”
Or when the economy tanks and everyone is using dollar bills.
The highest quality fruit / Veggies command the highest prices................
No different than last week at the butcher shop. I went in for 20lbs of frozen ground chuck but the guy ahead of me got the last of it.
That is because they do not use local but have a supplier who has higher quality goods to begin with and then picks over to make sure they get only the best of what he has.
I went to the store yesterday at 10 a.m., the soonest I could get there.
The Kroger I frequent looked like an A-10 Wart Hog has spent at least 45 minutes testing it’s weapons.
Produce was half empty. Bananas were spread over two tables to take up empty space. Plantains and tropical fruits were out. Tomatoes were available but variety was limited.
Potatoes were the same. No large bags, only 5 lb bags available.
Meat was scarce, most cuts of beef were available in limited quantities.
Lunch meats were sold out. There was plenty of pastrami and salami left. I was happy.
Ground beef and hot dogs had a very limited supply.
Milk was available. Buttermilk and some specialty milks were out.
Cheese, yogurt, eggs other dairy items were fully stocked.
Not a canned biscuit in the joint.
Frozen food was the empty frozen tundra. Not a pizza to be found. Heat and eat fish and chicken were out. In fact most heat and eat items were out.
That A-10 did a bang up job on the ff.
If frozen food was the frozen tundra the paper aisle was a vast desert completely devoid of life. Not the first package of butt wipe to be found. Paper towels same same. Even paper plates were in short supply.
The bread aisle was the same. Nothing but a few loaves of wheat bread and two couples grabbed them as I walked down the aisle.
Canned goods and the center aisles were thoroughly picked over. Empty slots everywhere.
Dropped by the local Wally World.
Fuhgedaboutit!!
Looked like it had been nuked from orbit. More bare shelves than stocked. The only departments not affected were the clothing, automotive and electronics departments.
Anything food related was gone. Ferals prowled the empty aisles like wildlife looking for that last morsel of food.
Even sporting goods was hit. Ammo, fishing equipment, tents (!?), even the few shotguns and rifles they do carry were sold out. Archery equipment was hard hit too.
Had to go to Kroger this morning at 7 a.m. to get bread and tp. People were grabbing it like no more would ever be made.
Insanity.
So if you go into some store, say to get TP, and some slackjawed moron in front of you grabs the last 8 packages of TP, looks at you and says, “Tough luck slick”, tell me you’d have no problem with that.

Tell me, if ya own a store, and paying rent, all the taxes etc, you’d have no issues with some lumberhead parking in front of your store in the parking lot, peddling whatever?
Of course I would but that wan’t your first question was it?
