I imagine people who do things like the toilet paper hoarding and re-selling do that sort of thing with everything and are generally the types of assholes that get robbed and shot and any witness is just like "good."

Finnish military surplus store Varusteleka is showing it's prices also as toilet paper rolls.
Also it has list of alternatives to toilet paper, like bandages, cups and spoons. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/group/alternative-rear end-wipes/2437

My wife went to tesco earlier and apparently people were queueing up to buy toilet paper and it sold out within minutes. This is a huge supermarket too. People are losing their minds.

The most alarming thing to me is discovering that people don't have a stockpile of toilet paper normally. Are the general public living life by the seat of their pants, only buying more when they're down to the last roll, or out completely?
Can't use the office tp to poop on company time when working from home.

All those office poops washed away, like tears in rain. Time to wipe.

You are too late, there's already reputable vendors to buy 4 squares for $1 with repeat customers. The suckers are already loyal and have chosen the 4 people that will become millionaires from this.

Anyone paying what is that $100 per roll? is a sucker and anyone charging that is a monster anyway.

Outta my way, ya dumb rah-rah!
After we had my dad's birthday party with the US side of the family last night, my parents FINALLY decided come back to Canada early and cancel all their travel plans through to July.

Basically the full realization of how completely and utterly screwed Florida is hit them in full force after talking about the virus all night to a bunch of Florida boomers lol.

I'm extremely relieved, I'm really close to my family and was having major anxiety about them being stuck with American healthcare (albeit with A+++ platinum insurance down there) while going full corona. They're both in incredibly good health for their age, but my mom's 66 and my dad's 70.

Start telling them about a customer who came through who didn't look well and then when they go to reply you "accidentally" sneeze into their open mouth. Apologize profusely, but for the rest of the day point out that they're looking a little pale and ask them if they're okay. Paranoia should do the rest!

Also make sure you send them an email or a text message saying something along the lines of "I've looked into it and all the relevant authorities recommend that we close down and I agree with them, it'd be irresponsible for us not to" and when your boss mentions that email tell them you wanted to leave a paper trail that showed you wanted to shut down the salon but were overruled so you're legally covered in case they get sued when a customer gets sick and dies.

He "works" from home, and is waiting for my city to demand all businesses close before agreeing to shut down.

e: I've already told all of my employees that they don't have to work if they don't feel safe, but a decent chunk of them don't really have any other choice for money.

just had a two hour long skype chat with an italian friend who walked me through the completely silent empty deserted streets of turin and said the local coroners are working overtime and that you can't even say goodbye to loved ones with a funeral. they just get buried and that's it.


but hey it's just like the flu, and we don't really have to worry about any scientific evidence about things like vaccinations and evolution and climate change and the moon landing and welp maybe we just need all the stupid people to die

i went back to bed and just woke up after i had a dream about being trapped in a home depot with like 4 floors that was all out of toilet paper and state troopers were escorting shipments of a generic brand "darn good toilet paper," only to have roving bands of children raid supplies while church ladies looked on disapprovingly.

to clarify, the "darn" was stylized and bolded separately and "good toilet paper" was written beneath it in a smaller font. so i think the brand was actually just "darn"

A supermarket in my state just released a statement saying that they'll be opening an hour early every day for the next two weeks exclusively for Senior and Disability Card holders to give them a chance to buy the stuff they need without having to fight through crowds of hoarder idiots.

The offer includes carers and people with companion cards but the supermarket was very careful to stipulate that they just couldn't rock up and shop on their client's behalf or use another person's accreditation for themselves but that they had to come in with the person they care for. Because of-loving-course the greedy hoarder idiots would just use this as a way to sneak in early and buy up all that poo poo for themselves if they left that loophole open for them.

If a cluster of people catch it there and their doctors put it together it will become a matter of permanent public record that your business negligently spread the plague to its customers that one time whenever someone googles the business ever again

I'm so sorry about that :(. Unsure of this is true but I did see this posted on a lighting technicians group on FB. Can't hurt to send off an email to see what happens. Same goes for any other goons in the theater/film industry in NYC:




Also if you're in film and know anybody in Local 52 I've heard that some shoots are still happening. Might be an idea to reach out to them and see what scraps they can throw your way.
