To whom it may concern,
Because the big hype, regarding toilet paper, and some people buying ridiculous amounts and than try to make money out of this on ebay , is not something to exept! Please can you delete these ads? It is not fair, these people are buying so much, so other people are not able to do their normal shopping anymore!
Thank you
Kind regards A. Willems

If you didn't fill an entire trolley with cacao powder, you weren't serious in your buying.
Toilet paper buyers have shown us what real shopping is!

It's OK countess, I'm pretty sure it's spoof news.................
But maybe a copy of it should be given to anyone buying more than 4 rolls of TP...................

Well another little thing my daughter (Woolies employee) told me was that the store was still running with the same amount of staff, all working the same hours they had been, most have casual hours or part time contracts, but during the busy times staff who would normally be stocking shelves were on checkouts. So stock is stuck on pallets out the back because they're too tight fisted to pay extra staff/hours to cope with increased turnover. That would explain why the shelves aren't being stocked quick enough. Obviously the dry foods like pasta, rice and flour sell as fast as tp so those shelves are bare in my local supermarket. I've heard the smaller chains, Farmer Jacks etc are worth a shot 👍

Change of topic. My husband has just returned from shopping and said "No toilet paper in Woolworths". But ok for pasta.
I am NOT going to be wiping that particular region with pasta!

Latest news is that Woolies supermarkets will not be accepting returns on toilet paper!!!!! Thank goodness for that.
So those who bought up big thinking they were going to make a killing by reselling online might have supplies for a VERRRRRYYYY long time.

That's very interesting because when I accused woolies and coles of having those items in storage they blatantly said to my face
no we don't do that,obviously I said BS and that I know how things work having spent $$$$$$$$ in your store I do know how things run around here.

I have encouraged those people to go to their local shopping car park with their cars filled with toilet paper they want to return, and sell it to us people that never got the chance to buy,say at 50% off that's fair isn't it
