Because three-day weekends can't last forever and I have to have something to do to kill 70 years until Willard Scott wishes me a happy birthday on TV.
Today starts a Super Duper Uber Mega Super Stupendous Lowest Prices of the Season Sale. For those of you wondering, yes we just got done with one of those a little over a month ago. That was the summer LPS sale. This is the Back To School LPS sale.
As part of this sale we're running an extra special for today through Saturday. On this special we have 8-roll packs of a certain kind of paper towels, and 12-roll packs of a certain kind of bath tissue, for 4 bucks a pop. Frankly, it's not fit to wipe my counters or my ass with, but still at 4 dollars a pack it's going to be flying out the doors.
And it did. Corporate shrewdly decided not to place a limit on the toilet paper and paper towels, so people were probably taking 4, 5, 6 or more packs at a crack. We had two pallets of each to start the sale, amounting to 80 packs of paper towels and 120 packs of toilet paper. It was all gone by noon.
And after that I can't count how many times I got people asking for this paper, and then getting pissy when I told them we were sold out.
"But I live out of town!" they shrieked when I suggested they could check back tomorrow. Big whoopty whoop. That probably means you live in the next town over, which is a ten-minute drive. Or you're being dramatic and actually live on the other side of town.
"What am I supposed to do?" I dunno, either buy some other kind of toilet paper from us, buy some cheaper toilet paper from someplace else, along with some aloe vera for your tushy, or consult Sheryl Crow for advice on how to get clean using only one square of TP.
"You should have a truckload of all that if you know you're going to sell all that!" Okay, and where do you think we're going to store all that paper inside the store? Or park a trailer full of the stuff? Or keep a truckload full of all the other stuff people may want to buy that we may run out of?
More of the toilet paper and paper towels did come in tonight, and I knew they would, but I wasn't allowed to tell anybody this. Screw 'em.
