Here in North Idaho, one of our top supermarkets (”Super One”) has three or four empty spaces on every aisle. Maybe I was there yesterday when restocking was yet to occur, but I doubt it.
I’ve been buying lots of TP. I got seriously clobbered in April and May 2020 when there weren’t any paper towels to be found anywhere (that was in California then). I eventually bought flat, folded paper towels (the kind you used to find in gasoline station rest rooms) at Home Depot and I’m still using those!
Yeah. Spring 2020 the shelves became bare.
We bought so much tp from Cosco years ago (by mistake, really) we still have plenty.
GOOD IDEAL
Know whats funny about the TP crisis?
I got younger relatives that work in tissue mills in WI. They said that the papermill warehouses were so full they could hardly find places to store it.
It was the transportation that was the issue. Rail AND trucking.
I was in a store in East Tennessee today that had toilet paper/paper towels stacked to the ceiling...clerks had ladders deployed; trying to figure out how high they could safely stack it...it was amazing to see.
