Today I went to my local commissary (grocery store for military families). There were two lines, 20 items or less and 20+ items. I only had a few things to get for my family, last minute groceries that would have been purchased with or without the beginning of the quarantines. I was appalled at some of these families that were there. Buying 7 or 8 boxes of diapers (~180 count each) and boxes of wipes. Leaving so many families without. I understand the fear, the worry for your loved ones. But I have seen parents PLEADING on facebook for one pack of wipes, diapers, and formula. But everywhere they go, they are sold out. So please, don't buy and resell (pieces of shit). Don't buy more than you KNOW you will need.
Check on your neighbor, wash your hands, don't go licking people, tp someone's house (it's acceptable now), or just don't leave your house!

The only people with carts like this should be the over 65's who should stock up and stay home for a few months.

Can anyone explain why people are buying so much bottled water?
checkcheckheyhey1212
Yeah yeah we know
jappie348
Stores are allowed to enforce a maximum of purchases. I dont get why they do that for essentials
LadyStormPooper
Selfishness. Entitlement. Just plain ugly.

All the classic traits of a dependapotomus.

They’re not really buying water; just donating to the oil companies for the plastic, last forever, bottles.

Who made you Judge Judy and Executioner?
NarutoSexyJutsu
Well Judge Judy is over now, I could apply for her position. Plus I killed a bug a few hours ago....so I guess I'm halfway there?

Must have been bad timing for a really good joke. You deserve more updoots for that. +1
bamcobra
Holy crap. Just realized this thread is 10 months old. How did it get to FP?
bamcobra
Figured it out. I took a detour off FP. My bad. My comments stand though.

That's something a guilty hoarder would say
xn1992
Guilty of whoring, maybe.
KenMJr
That’s maternal
davebeastly
Was that a deliberate typo or do you actually think that's the phrase? It's hard to tell who is being sarcastic or actually dumb recently.

It's a quote from Hot Fuzz.

Thank you, friend.

Quite surprised that nobody in the US has been shot because of toilet roll! 1 thing this shows is that globally, people today are selfish!

Give it a couple more weeks. Be patient. It’s gonna happen.

America is not globally. You’ll see many places where this has been a minor issue and stopped fairly fast
mercbrit
Are you American?
doomsdaysexnario
I am not no?
mercbrit
I assumed you were to think that when the word global was used it referred to just Americans.
doomsdaysexnario
Well I did actually say globally did not mean only America. I might’ve written it wrong tho but was what I ment ?

DerNacho
That’s what I said. Muthafuckas be crazy

It's called the free market. If you can get it cheap and sell at profit, well there you go. No law was broken.
Crawmak
I don't care if it's legal or not, it's an immoral, appalling thing to do. You're exploiting people and kicking them while they're down.

Welcome to America.

False. Most states have laws prohibiting price gouging in emergencies. Many gougers will be prosecuted.
LRWerewolf
Gouging applies to point of sale in most states, not resale. As well, most determine what is considered gouging by precent; leaves room.

If you check the numbers in that article, it sounds like he made a huge profit.
LRWerewolf
Betcha he made enough profit that the excess didn't kill his RoI.
IdGiveMyEyeTeeth4That
Read this article. Some gougers have already been visited by investigators! One douchecanoe has 17,000+ hand sanitizers he cant sell now.
LRWerewolf
Did. How many did he sell before he got delisted? Amazon and eBay aren't the only way to sell. Just stay below your state's gouge %.
IdGiveMyEyeTeeth4That
He made 30k in profit or more. Another guy who was smart enough to ask his full name be withheld had already made 100k.
LRWerewolf
There ya' go. Even if they'd been mindful of the gouging percents, they likely still would stand to make huge profit.
