An Adelaide supermarket boss has wiped the smile off the face of a would-be profiteer who attempted to return 150 packets of toilet paper for a refund.
John-Paul Drake, the director of Drakes Supermarkets, posted a video on YouTube recounting the customer’s outrageous refund demand.
“He said he wanted to get a refund yesterday on 150 packets of 32-pack toilet paper, and 150 units of one-litre sanitiser,” Mr Drake said.
“I told him that,” Mr Drake said, sticking his middle finger up at the camera.
“That is the sort of person that is causing the problem in the whole country.”
Mr Drake later told 7News the man wanted to return the items because his eBay site had been shut down.
The chain – which has 50 stores across South Australia and Queensland – has been hit hard by the panic buying in recent weeks and months.
“We’ve sold eight months of toilet paper in four weeks… a year’s supply of flour in nine days,” revealed the supermarket owner.
“If everyone had just bought the things they needed in their immediate short-term, we would be fine,” he said.
“We have have some staggering statistics.”
Supermarkets across the country now have limits on particular items that have been subject to panic buying.
Toilet paper was among the first items that frantic Australians began panic buying en masse.
Most of Australia’s toilet paper is manufactured domestically.
