Toilet paper harder to find as Americans stockpile again
CBSN
Americans are again stocking up paper products amid the latest COVID-19 surge, leaving some store shelves empty of basic household goods.
Costco is among those sounding the alarm, warning in an alert on its website that "some warehouses may have temporary item limits on selected items." The cautionary note coincides with warehouse club members who bought toilet paper online getting told to expect delays in getting the product, according to Fox Business News. "Due to increased volumes, you may see a slight delay in the processing of this order," the retail chain stated in an email to Costco customers seen by the network.
Costco declined to comment. On social media, people have recently posted about low supplies of items including paper towels, water and canned peaches, along with toilet paper, at some of the retailer's stores.
