I think that if everyone thought about the greater community a bit it would help us all

And here I am sacrificing my chance of toilet paper for some oldies who can’t walk fast to the paper isle. Compassion is free and even if I and my family of 6 had to just use cut up cloths or shower then so be it.

I’d find it so difficult to shop for her too….

I was happy I was able to buy 1pack of 1 roll of toilet paper, those thin ones where your fingers pierce through 😉 We’re with the 6 of us but it’s better then nothing

I cant believe she was worried that you or your husband will take some tp from her house….

It’s sad, I would be the bigger person and let her have some toilet paper, but only after I let her sweat it out a little…
I’d probably tell her no, and remind her if what she had to said while away, then take the TP to her while she had a little tanty over me being so mean, only to show her I was just trying to teach her a lesson.

  Sounds like a very selfish women and I am sorry but if she asks I would tell her how hurtful that was to say and that you have a big family of 6 so you can’t really give her any as you need it yourself and struggled to get just the one packet. I lent a friend a roll of paper when she was out and had visitors and I had one in my car I gave her and have never seen it return to me being 4 months ago she’s conveniently forgotten about it I always have one in my car living in the country as sometimes you don’t have a toilet along the road, so must remember to put another in my car.

I know exactly what she means and she sounds like she’s being the bigger person here. Kindness goes a long way but it should be both ways

I’m over the hoarders it’s bull that they are getting away with it we should be supporting our family’s and community in these hard times not being horrible and selfish

What I have an issue with are the shoppers who strip the shelves to resell at a ridiculous price. Price gouging is disgusting at the best of times but in a pandemic it’s reprehensible. As for toilet paper, it can be sourced online and sold by the box at a very reasonable price, some companies offer free delivery. After this pandemic is over I’m going to continue to buy it online.

I think all this panic is expected. We haven’t seen something like this before and people react by stock piling and trying to protect their own.

Thought parents are supposed to care for their children and help them out when needed? And children return the favour when they are old enough and able! It seems very one sided in this family dynamic! The parents not willing to share whilst being dependent on the children to take care of their needs. It sounds to me like they didn’t trust their son to not steal their toilet paper and decided to come back a week early to protect what they have!

Wow, how ridiculous. I’d tell her to mind her own business.

so much is going on in this australia so tired of it not very australia all this supermarket wars and rubbish i am tired of no toilet paper tissues no food delivery from supermarket sick sick of it

Yes there has been some disgusting behaviour. It’s disappointing to see and shows a lack of empathy and care for others

i am fed up to whats with this hoarding and more and more toilet paper stop stop buying more and more, so much is happening i wish to die so sick of the way people are acting in australia no longer are we a country helping out all its everyone for themselves not very australian

I’m very fed up. People are pulling every trick to try and get more.
I had minimal nappies and no Panadol. No meat and not milk for my babies bottle.
I really feel like the shops are never going to catch up on products.
I feel for the elderly too. It actually makes me very cranky that there is no humanity for our elderly in times like this

I bulk buy usually this has done my head in not being able to grab my fortnightly shopping because of the panic buying!

It’s really absurd, and at the same tragic, what’s happening. I don’t order on line but I know that a lot of families use it every month. Such a big change for them. Even worse if you live far away. You go to buy your usual shopping and there are limit restrictions. It’s sad but I hope that now that people realize we will be in this for at least six months, they will start to be more rational.
This morning I was so relieved to see shelves full of meat and other stuff again!

I usually click and collect, I live 2hrs away from woolies! But now I can’t do that, so I had to take my kids with me in this absolute chaos panic buying at the super market. It’s soul destroying watching people fight over things, push past people trying to get the things on their list, as if the apocalypse is coming and they’re never making bread, milk or bog roll again!! One man was standing next to another bloke there were 6 loaves of bread left and the first bloke grabbed all six and put them in his trolley. The older man says mate can I have just 1? I ran out of bread this morning. Thankfully the fella gave him 1, but it’s just a joke. What is he going to do with 6 loaves? Freeze them just in case??

I had my 3 kids with me today there was no chicken, no pasta, no 2 min noodles, barely any up n go’s,.no hand wipes or sanitizer…and signs every where saying limit of 2 or 1 per customer…I grabbed 2 x3 litre milks and laughed because they will be empty by the weekend and I will have to battle the shops again, because there is no way I’m social distancing without milk for my coffee,.and 6 litres of milk won’t last my family more than 2 days.
