An Adelaide shopper has attempted to return thousands of dollars' worth of supplies to a local supermarket after stockpiling them at the start of the coronavirus panic buying outbreak, a retailer says. But the man, who initially tried and failed to re-sell the goods online, has been refused a refund. Drakes Supermarkets director John-Paul Drake said the man called the supermarket to try to get a refund on 132 packs of toilet rolls and 150 one-litre bottles of hand sanitiser. He said the shopper had bought the goods, worth around $10,000, with the help of a "team" of stockpilers when panic buying surged about four weeks ago. "In that conversation [the shopper said] 'my eBay site has been shut down, so we couldn't profiteer off that'," Mr Drake told ABC Radio Adelaide.

Mr Drake described that kind of stockpiling as "absolutely disgraceful", and said it was the reason that supermarkets had had to "band together" to introduce purchasing limits on products like toilet paper and hand sanitiser during the coronavirus crisis. Mr Drake said he had been speaking with toilet paper manufacturers about the potential to make packs containing fewer rolls. He said one of those suppliers, Sorbent, was beginning to produce eight-packs and four-packs, but others had said making larger packs was the best method during a time of high demand. "For them to get more toilet rolls into the hands of the consumer, doing the bulk packs is the most efficient run that they can do," he said.

Agreed. Stored were very quick to kick them in the balls and I was surprised how efficiently it happened.

It would be even better if the police came and took all of their shit for some kind of gouging law and didnt have to pay them a dime in restitution.
