My favorite thing about this entire Coronavirus experience is watching these asshole hoarders get stuck with thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
In this particular case, one guy used a team of people to buy as much toilet paper as possible, but when his eBay channel got shut down (for being a scumbag and taking advantage of people during a crisis), he wanted to return it all to the store. But the store manager had other ideas…
John-Paul Drake, director of Drake’s Supermarket down in Australia, gave a big “fuck you” to the bozo when he asked for a refund on 4,800 rolls of toilet paper and 150 bottles of hand sanitizer.
“The scenes that everyone has seen with the toilet paper has been absolutely ridiculous. I had my first customer today who said he wanted to get a refund on 150 packets of 32-pack toilet paper, and 150 units of 1-liter sanitizer.”
Drake’s response? A big middle finger to his face.
“That is the sort of person that is causing the problem in the whole country.”
On the one hand, telling that guy to fuck off probably felt AMAZING, especially since he owns the store, he can do whatever he wants. If you’re an employee, I wouldn’t recommend it…
But on the other hand, if the accepted the return, shoppers might be able to get their hands on some decent toilet paper. I understand for safety reasons you probably can’t accept it anyway, but my God am I tired of using this thinner-than-air Kroger shit I’m using right now. What I wouldn’t do for a nice roll of Charmin right now…
Either way, props to the manager, he seems like a fun guy. Almost like the Aussie Bill Burr, but you know, if Bill opened a supermarket.
Hell, I’d work for him.
