There's a practical reason to hoard toilet paper.

Families with kids use a lot of toilet paper! :eek:
We don't have kids per se, but early on, we had a roll or 2 of toilet paper get shredded by the youngest cats (because a scratching post was too normal, I guess?

People are pooping at home WAAAY more with the shelter in place orders. Imagine how many times you poop at work or restaurants or parks or public restrooms? All that butt wiping was being done by commercial TP not TP from retailers....now ALL butts are being wiped by only home based retail TP supply and it can’t meet the demand.
Do you part: poop less!

How is there still a shortage? Why would people who already bought 1000 rolls of it continue to buy more of it every time they restock the shelves?

My store stopped stocking it. :(

That isn't very business savvy.
Quit stocking the biggest seller?

They probably can't get it from their suppliers. They had a boatload of off-brand single rolls that they rationed but now that is gone as well.

Thankfully I don't recall that being a problem for a while, they're used to scratching other stuff (furniture included), though they still have night crazies

I know what you mean. I had an upstairs tenant that requested permission to have a cat. I permitted it but she got two cats, who proceeded to chase each other all night, which kept me awake. I had to evict her as she wouldn't part with her "babies".

That's why there's that security deposit or pet deposit and such for renters, pain in the butt as it is. It's why my brother is building his own house with a contractor and such, may be done by...end of spring?

I can't imagine kids using a bidet, much less me. :eek:

I think the Japanese and French use bidets. One time at a house, there was a bidet that had instructions in Japanese. Only thing is i can't read Japanese.

All of those public toilets use rough paper. I notice that they don't sell that kind in the stores. Maybe that is why soft tissue is being hoarded.
