corona virus and toilet paper

so I went to the Ralphs market to buy a couple things.


Walked over to the aisle with toilet paper on it and they're nearly empty of 


all of it. I heard that people are stocking up on TP because of the pandemic.


So I picked up a couple packages - there weren't two of a kind so 


I bought two different brands.


When checking out the cheeky bagger said to me "WHY TWO DIFFERENT BRANDS!!! ??" 


Amused, but caught off guard I just said "WHY NOT!!!??" 


His response was "Well!!" :) haha so funny.

I had to go to 2 different stores to find multi-packs of Kleenex, but haven't noticed a Toilet paper shortage. Had some trouble finding boxes of vinyl gloves for our warehouse guys online, but went up to the large size and got them. Lots of cleaning supplies and disinfectants were out of stock though.

Weird times. Everything seems so unreal in a way.

As George W Bush was rumored to say after Trump spoke at his inauguration "That was some weird shit".

Yay you for helping the beleaguered store clerk find a smile in the moment instead of holding him responsible for cultural idiocy.

Doncha just love public hysteria? ? ? Go figure. . .
