We had probably ten or so pallets of TP just arrived right before the store opens. 30 to a pallet. I just came back from holidays so i had only read about this TP craze.

5 mins to opening. There's probably 15 to 20 employees including me standing in front of all the TP like a company of soldiers. Im thinking to myself, is this really necessary? How nuts could it be?

Store opens. People are fucking SPRINTING in a beeline towards the TP. In probably 40 seconds the entire aisle is filled with a tsunami of carts and people. We're told to only give them a max of 2. Packages are flying all over the place, employees are running all over filling the carts so it doesnt get too clogged but then customers are yelling at other customers they cant get out, move, hey that was mine etc.

People are volatile over being told they can only have two.

One guy is shooting a video on his phone of this mass hysteria (like 5 employees are doing the same)

One woman complains to us about the customer taking the video of her and everyone else, she blows up when we tell her we can't do anything about it.

In EASILY ten minutes, the entire stock is gone.

I thought i knew what to expect - lol, holy shit. Absolute fucking craziness.

Tl;dr - lol people

EDIT - There was a guy outside immediatly after it was gone trying to pawn it off on people for double the price until he got shooed away.
