Shit paper again?

[angiebaby]

There will be no water supply based on what I just saw at Costco. Water is getting wiped out and toilet paper is gone. It’s nuts.

We import water?????

Tomorrow is my usual grocery store day. I live in a small town so I'm kinda anxious about what I'm going to see when I walk in there !

All was normal at my small-town grocery store yesterday evening. Very quiet. Plenty of TP and water still on shelves.

Maybe the hurricane and so many people without clean water a week later was just a wake-up call to folks that they should have a supply of bottled water on hand in case of an emergency, or catastrophe.

It’s BIG toilet paper that is behind this. They start the panic on insta. Then the money rolls in. No pun intended.

That's because you live around people that can think for themselves, i live around a bunch of dumbass democrats

Its because of posts like this on every social media page...people go online to say, oh I was just at Costco and all the TP is gone, so then the next person is like oh I better go get some before its hard to find, then that person goes and then makes a post about it...then the cycle continues until there is no tp left to buy...

 

[4Waters]

Wife just got to costco to pick up a pack for her parents since we struck out last night and they are already out. They got a shipment this morning, opened at 10am and they are out by 11:30am. WTF people, SMH

Oh you mean like this thread being started yesterday afternoon on RDP as a perfect example ? I'm pretty sure hardly more than a few million have seen it either directly or provided by their search engine.

 

[COCA COLA COWBOY]

I saw this and then turned on my Facebook and sure as shit...you are right. I blitzed over to Costco and they were almost out of toilet paper. Everyone coming out had 2-3 bundles and paper towels. Told the wife and she just yelled at me for not getting 5 bundles.

 

[Racey]

It really is unbelievable

Is it really though?

 

[Sharky]

We make TP here in the states you morons. Good lord

No shit!!!

Procter & Gamble, Georgia Pacific & Kimberly Clark.

All 3 have factories in the US

 

[Big B Hova]

No TP, paper towels, and almost out of water at Simi Valley costco. Dumb ass people.

 

[HST4ME]

Put two bidets in the house. So there.

 

[Flying_Lavey]

The funny thing is, during the pandemic I remember several sources saying most TP was imported from Germany so that may be where most of the BS is coming from.

 

[jetboatperformance]

Just got our Costco order delivered a few minutes ago Delivery guy said no TP or PT But He said "it" comes in at 6 am so he said to make an order tonight or 6:00 am tomorrow

I recently saw mention of the Maritime dock strike. WTF, these are longshore men, and dockside cargo handlers. They are striking for raises and against further automation. Automation exists. Did the Navigators on those ships they’re offloading have a legit bitch when GPS became a thing? What about the Radio Operators when GMDSS was installed on ships? If the owners of those terminals wish to automate, that’s up to them, not those who handle the cargo.

GMDSS may not have been mentioned here before? It is a very good system and came into being during my career. It is commonly used on commercial ships, vessels carrying more than 12 passengers and large yachts. USCG licensed Masters were/are tested on it and had to demonstrate proficiency. Pretty much, it is multiple choice selections for Broadcasting maritime emergency situations. Included is the ability to broadcast and recieve Voice Coms over International emergency frequencies. It is a good system. It is/was Automation. It was an improvement. The position of ship’s Radio Operator/Officer nearly disappeared. No labor strikes occurred.

[n2otoofast4u]

We need TP & PT. Wife went to Costco this afternoon and came back with expensive PT because that’s all they had, and there was no asswipe…

 

[JB in so cal]

People are so dumb. We make it here. It doesn't come in on ships SMH

Exactly.

 

[FreeBird236]

Went to Havasu Walmart yesterday not for TP, but did notice the TP was completely gone as well as most paper goods. A lot of other items were very low, such as bread, coffee, etc.

Exactly the problem right here....lol.

 

[Sandlord]

I think I’ll head to the store and see if I can get more TP.
Not because of the Longshoreman,
Not because of the floods,
Not because of supply chain issues,

I’ll buy it because
I don’t know what else will happen in the few weeks as we get closer to the election!




*stolen from X

 

[2Driver]

I hope there are no returns allowed and all these fucking assclowns can live in their TP forts for the next 5 years.

Lol, since they're going back to work I just told the wife I bet there's a big return line for the dumbfks that bought 6 cases of tp.
Best bet is to just use them to make all their chicklets sellers ghost costumes later this month.

Guy musta had to shit real bad and couldn’t find any shit tickets.

Who needs toilet paper when you can run this!

Kinda, but we only had a couple rolls so we needed it. I didn't go overboard, but I did buy one bundle. We are getting ready for a move so have no stockpile of anything at all right now.

That is what happened to our daughter, who was 6 months preggo, and son-in-law. They moved from MT to ID for work and had very little supplies because of it. This was the second week of March . . . 2020. They had stayed with us in Reno for the 2 months beforehand, so they didn't have any food supplies to speak of either. Then all hell broke loose and they couldn't get anything. Not even spaghetti noodles or rice. So my mom and I each mailed her a large box filled with TP, peanut butter, noodles, rice, oatmeal, etc, because we are doomsday preppers/hoarders and had enough supplies for ourselves and our kids.

So I get the moving thing. I'm really sad that I got rid of all my canning jars when we left Reno, now I have to go buy more tonight to pressure can the 75# of carrots that I'm hoarding.

If anybody is interested, Home Depot had plenty of toilet paper…. I haven’t checked the women’s restroom but the men’s definitely did.

 

[Ziggy]

No shortage at my local Grocery Outlet that's just half of their inventory. I'll just get some next month, we were already good.

…Had quite a few cars upholstered in Tijuana Mexico in my younger days… The upholstery shop we used… Tijuana Trim… Didn’t even have a regular shop… More like a lean to affair… But they did incredible work…
…On one trip… I really had to poop… I asked one of the upholstery guys if they had a bathroom…and he gave me a strange look… Pretty soon the guy that owned the business shows up and we spoke a little bit…then he said OK…you can use the bathroom, but you have to use newspaper for toilet paper… And then do not flush it. Just put it in the trashcan next to the .toilet. … Mind you…All of this was being communicated in Spanish.. Linguistics at the time… was not my forte… just one of those things you can never unsee… But to this day, I’m OK with driving around with just a roll of paper towels in my car… Sort of multi purpose stuff…-and I suppose if I was…side of he road and out of paper towels… And had some newspaper I would use it…

 

[badgas]

big box stores should limit one per week per customer. Problem solved

They did that in 2020, people had their kids buying it.

 

[TPC]

One of the kids has IBS so we’re extra stocked on TP.

That and walking into the grocery stores during Covid and seeing empty shelves triggered us to double down on food and supplies.

Actually it was the Northridge earthquake that got us keeping a 30 day supply of provisions on hand. Shelves emptied fast too.

I have mexican friends/family members that have great modern plumbing here in the US that still to this day throw their shit paper in the trashcan and not flush it...
