Sadly? Or sensibly?

Sadly, because the panic buying is just in several stores in Victoria.
Seems people are nutbags all over Australia. Just did my shopping at Woolies in Sydneyâs south and half the shelves of toilet paper and paper towels are empty now. 
No Quilton at all, which was on special this week so assuming they should have had plenty of stock on just the second day of the new catalogue.
Luckily Big W next door had Quilton. The checkout chick said they had been flying out the door all day today.

Yup, this was at a Woolworths in north-west Sydney. Heaps of people had packs in their trolleys and baskets.

This is happening in Sydney?
Yup. Flour and sugar stocks were a bit down as well.
Coles and Woolworths have announced that theyâll reintroduce purchasing restrictions nationwide after seeing an increase in demand. Earlier this week both supermarkets reintroduce product limits in Victoria.

There goes my idea for the next QLD Tourism campaign (when border open) - Beautiful one day - Plenty of Toilet Paper the next.

Lol. 
For god sake, why are these people being idiots and rushing out and getting toilet paper? Whats the toilet paper got to do with the CoronaVirus. Seriously? This is beyond stupid. So a select few idiots have decided it was best to rush out for toilet. paper , just in case, just in case for what? Thereâs going to plenty of toilet paper? And now the nationwide limit has been imposed again because of some of the idiots in Victoria.
I have never witnessed such stupidity in my life.

It makes you wonder how many times a day do these people actually go to the toilet if they need so many packets of toilet paper 
You need food to shit people. Not dunny roll!
My question is - why is it just Quilton thatâs flying off the shelves? The Woolworths and Coles brand products are just as easy a wipe as the others.
Quilton is the best, by far.

Another Woolies in South eastern Sydney. Still some shit tickets left on display out in the front - âReliableâ brand, imported from China. Expensive for the number of sheets you get.

Coles / Woolies will be disappointed that they have spent the last month or so actively clearing out the lines (primarily 4pk and 6pks they donât usually stock in high numbers, or at all) they had a massive surplus of in stores at half price or better.

I heard about the panic buying re-starting again on Wednesday. Naturally I panic-buyed as a result of the mayhem. Technically wasnât going to run out of toilet paper until mid-late July⌠purchased some just in case I wouldnât be able to source it when I actually have run out of it.
Why though ? Itâs not if weâll run out itâs made in Australia !
Idiocy of some people.

Due to my own circumstances. Iâm not due to run out until some point in July and what if the shelves were empty for weeks on end again ?
When it originally happened in March, I didnât panic buy as I already purchased my usual supply in February (which technically lasted through to May). I tend to buy enough in one trip that lasts 1-2 months, so I donât have to regularly carry it around with my regular shopping (its super annoying lugging TP slabs around on public transport)
