in my local drakes this morning, still no toot paper!
none, not even single rolls
we were shown warehouses full of it ages ago, where is it?
just how long does it take to deliver a truck load?
so happy i dont need it

Woolworths is advertising for 20,000 new staff to keep up with demands.
For a month they say.

My local supermarket had a sign saying sorry no toilet paper.
Would be good if most did that, as it saves walking around to the back of the store to an empty shelf.
There's no point of having more staff if the trucks aren't delivering enough to meet up with the demand.
Last week my store had a delivery that was 'bigger than Christmas', and 2 days later, no load at all.

Easter eggs are now in the toilet paper isle.

what they need is 20,000 rolls of toot paper in each store
it should be their #1 priority
there are lots of alternatives for foods
cant get something get something else
but toot paper is a 'you cant substitute' item

Even if there are limits, I've heard of groups targetting stores, going in and out and buying toilet paper.
The more paper that is stacked, the more it is taken. It doesn't last long. And some people will keep missing out.

Why do they have to put all of it out at the same time?
Why not stagger the shelf stocking?

i think the not putting it all out would (and maybe is) causing the mass purchases
people see not much on the shelves and think, well i dont need it BUT
in my opinion they should be getting stock ASAP and keeping the shelves full until the nongs stop buying it 'just in case'
or have it at the exits and eyeball the customers buying it, if your seen buying it i think your less likely to do the in and out in and out routine.
