Shoot Hoarders |
After all this madness has subsided will anyone still remember the
panic buying of toilet paper and hand sanitiser? Well, I suspect that
one Australian fella will have a good reason to remember and rue the
time he hoarded 5,000 toilet rolls and 150-litre bottles of hand
sanitiser. His cunning plan was to sell on these items, at a vastly
increased price, on eBay. Unfortunately for the ‘Toilet Roll
Mogul’, eBay refused to list the items.
Cunning Plan 2: The
budding Aussie entrepreneur remained undaunted at this twist in his
fortunes and decided to implement Plan Two. He returned to Drake’s
supermarket in Southern Australia and casually asked for a refund of
about $AUS10,000. As to be expected the owner-operator was not too
impressed and refused the request. The next day our toilet
roll magnate returned and offered a 30% discount. Again, the owner
refused and our budding loo paper tycoon returned to his bubble,
deflated, discombobulated and disenchanted with life as a top
tier toilet roll, businessman.
Ain't life sad and manifestly unfair.

interested, here is the video of the supermarket owners response. The
relevant bit starts at 5.22. https://youtu.be/ITYVoVMDK7w
