You just gotta wonder about this picture.

Are they selling it, or does their household USE that much?

Either way, not a pretty sight

Is anyone else waiting for the parallel SUV/Minivan line now that consumers know where they are? Parents run the school drop off/pick up lines every day.  They have the training!  😂

I keep thinking folks shouldn't be too quick to harshly judge the buyers of huge TP loads.

They could be from a church mission that distributes goods to the needy, or  might work for a homeless shelter. or for a nursing home.  

There are lots of possible reasons that some folks are buying unusual amounts of paper goods.

You are right.  It never occurred to me.

I will strive to have a kinder heart and not judge such scenes.

Thanks for the reminder.

@novamc1   That may be the case for a few.  But there is too much of it going on. I do not know how every one is paying for all of this TP. It is very expensive.

I hope when it gets to the stores they limit how much each person can buy. 
Otherwise the hoarders will go buy it all again.

YES let's HOPE the stores do not allow folks to buy more then 2 TP items at most and other necessities.  

Otherwise that man Mr. Clovin and his brother will be clearing it all out in their rented U-hauls overnight.  There are many like this awful person doing this and creating shortages.  If folks just don't buy from them and they get stuck with 20,000 + or more of TP that would be awesome!!

That would be a pick me up story to report LOL!!

I am stocked up on TP for the rest of the year. Not because I hoard, but because I know the rate that I go thorough toilet paper. I am only one person, and I am working during the day, even though I think that soon I will be tele working from home. I always purchase at Costco, and that one bag last me over 7 1/2 months.   I have one unopened bag, which holds 30 rolls, and 1/2 of a bag still left to go through. Easily, enough for me to make it till year end.. 

Now, to comment on the picture. I am going to hope that she is purchasing for a nursery school, church or perhaps other family members.

THIS IS THE REAL PROBLEM! These women are going to sell them online at high jacked up prices.  Shame on them and the store for allowing it.

There is no shortage....just lot's and lot's of SELFISH people out there.
