Back in April, I was stunned to hear that there was a TP shortage happening across the country. I was down to a few rolls, and being a bachelor, it was low on my list of priorities. But I heard the rumors on a couple of gun forums and was able to secure an extra bulk pack before it all disappeared.
My new practice is to have at least one bulk pack in reserve, which is about 6 months of usage for me and my part-time girlfriend.
Then a couple of days ago, I started seeing posts on a gun forum that due to the latest increase in COVID-1984 cases and subsequent lockdowns on the Left Coast, that TP was again disappearing.
Unbelievable!
I checked my stash and had half a bulk pack and one in reserve. Okay, good. Surely the madness hadn't reached my area, some 300 miles from the Left Coast, yet.
I headed into town yesterday for my weekly supply run and my girlfriend texted me and said the Walmart in the town she works in was wiped out. She told me to grab some in the Idaho town I go to.
I stopped by the Walmart in Idaho and found this...

The TP and paper towels were again, completely gone.
Luckily, I stopped by a grocery chain store and secured another bulk pack before I left town, so I'm good for about a year.
Has anyone else noticed if the TP is gone from their local shelves? It disappeared in a matter of days around here.
