This is not a flex. This is a statement on how much of a selfish asshole you are.

    I keep a surplus supply of just about everything my family regularly uses, sometimes up to five-years.

    The thing is, I don’t buy it all at once. I build it up over time so I don’t clean out a store and make things hard for other people.

    It’s not just for emergencies, either. I have had things I rely on mysteriously go out of stock or become very hard to get for a few months then things go back to normal. During that time I was just eating into my supply instead of stressing that I couldn’t find any.

    The guy in front of me at the checkout had his cart full of toilet paper. Jokingly, I asked him if COVID is coming back. He laughed and told me it's for his companies' office.

    I bought a house in 2019 and my partner and I had a running gag where we’d buy a family size roll of TP at bjs every time we went.

    It was really more I kept doing it and they kept getting more and more annoyed about it, and I kept laughing because I’m generally a terrible partner lmao.

    Long story short when Covid came around we were set already.

    These are the dipshits that caused the "supply problems"

    I remember the people buying the Lysol and hand sanitizer in bulk, thinking they were going to make millions reselling it. Covid came under control and they were back at Costco/Walmart trying to get refunds. Heh

    I was so confused the first time I tried to buy paper towels at Costco and couldn’t find them. I asked a worker and he said “Oh honey. You need to be here when we open on Wednesdays to get those!”

    I still have hand sanitizer I use that I bought on clearance at the end of the pandemic when they realized they made wayyyy too much.
