Be an asshole? Get treated like one;
An Australian man, apparently wanting to capitalize on the panic-buying of toilet paper and hand sanitizer, reportedly purchased at least $10,000 in necessary merchandise.
When he realized that he wouldn’t be able to sell his toilet paper and sanitizer online for a profit, he tried to get his money back — but the store owner, who sold him the merchandise, wasn’t having it at all.
John-Paul Drake, director of Drakes Supermarkets in Australia, recently shared a social media video about the incident, according to Newsweek.
In the video, Drake said, “I had my first customer yesterday who said he wanted to get a refund on 150 packets of 32-pack toilet paper and 150 units of one-liter sanitizer.”
According to Drake, the customer spent about $10,000 on the merchandise.
“I told him that,” he said, as he flipped up his middle finger for the camera.
I have stated it before: I have no problem with hoarders and even with people that are after a decent and reasonable profit. But Gougers?
I hope he chokes on his stash.
Hat Tip Paul K.
Price gouging is stupid- it always has been stupid, it always will be stupid.
