I just heard that toilet paper is now referred to as "Buttcoin".
Earlier today Mrs. Cow was communicating via Facebook with my daughter's mother-in-law.?ÿ The subject of the scarcity of toilet paper came up.?ÿ She reported she had actually found a source early on so was in good shape.?ÿ Turns out my daughter and son-in-law have searched numerous places and have found none.?ÿ They aren't out but they are getting too close.?ÿ So, she sent them a six-roll package via UPS.?ÿ Then she was on the phone with her 93 year-old mother in Florida and learned she and her boyfriend (98 year-old boyfriend, that is) were almost completely out.?ÿ So, she sent them two six-roll packages via UPS.
Learning of this conversation, I instructed Mrs. Cow on what to tell her about me when they communicated next............................and she did, word for word.?ÿ That was to report I was doing fine by going out in the yard and dragging my butt on the lawn like a dog.?ÿ My daughter would be mortified but her mother-in-law thought it was hilarious.
Just hang tight.?ÿ By mid summer you'll find all sorts of toilet paper CHEAP at garage sales, yard sales...
grocery stocker told wife to show up at 6am to get some but then Whole Foods had singles with a limit of 8 so she got 8 more. I need to see if I can get a squirt bottle of disinfectant that would be good, already have a couple of rolls of paper towels in work truck.
One gal reported they were switching to lettuce.?ÿ The tip of the iceberg today.?ÿ Tomorrow romaines to be seen.
A buddy of mine works at a Wall-Mart stocking shelves.?ÿ The strategy in the store is to move a pallet of TP into the "action aisle" and unwrap the plastic around it. While the feeding frenzy is going on the others get busy stocking shelves because the aisles are empty for a few moments.?ÿ?ÿ

The Powerball is up to an 18 pack of Charmin.?ÿ Better get in quick.
Found a 4-pack sitting on the store shelf with about 8 or 10 others.?ÿ The sign said "only one per customer" so I had to open the pack to get just one. 😯 😯 😯 ?ÿ
The reason there is a shortage is almost everyone is staying at home, not visiting restaurants, offices, bars, parks, and other public facilities. The toilet paper supply is bifurcated into commercial and residential supply streams and they are both very steady. There is plenty of supply on the commercial side because it isn't being used while the residential (mostly supermarket) side can't keep up with demand. If you had a commercial account with Sysco you could get all you want. The products are different too, the commercial product is more utilitarian with recycled fiber while the residential product is mostly made of more plies with 100% new fiber.

That is a medium-term factor, but initially it was over stocking by scared people. In the longer term the distribution will adjust from commercial to more retail.
My wife works for Georgia Pacific, so she orders it by the case at a discount and UPS brings it to the door. Maybe should set up a roadside stand.?ÿ
