I just got home from Hy-Vee and there were a bunch of empty shelves beyond just the toilet paper area. But as I was standing in line a lady walked up behind me with two items in her arms. While I didn’t have much in my cart I offered to let her go ahead of me. As I looked more closely at what she was holding I noticed it was two six packs of TP. I told her as she passed and thanked me that I was curious where she found those packages. She pointed ahead of us beyond the register and said, “Right there.” There day a pallet with TP and sings that said limit of 2. Even though I don’t really need them right now, there is no telling how long this stupidity is going to last so I grabbed my limit.
And I’m not above selling one, or even both, of the packages for a tidy profit to people who are actively engaging in this hysteria.
