Then you'd line up when you heard a rumor that there might be toilet paper delivered later that day. You wouldn't fight over it, you'd stand in line and take what they gave you.

Same for shoes. You'd stand in line and take what they gave you. You're a 30-year-old 5' 9" man and get shoes for a short woman? You take them. Scarce goods are scarce goods. Maybe you can trade them for something useful later, everybody's an entrepreneur in under socialism.

No, they're fighting. For something that's going to be restocked in most cases by the morning. I mean, Romans used smooth rocks.

What's worse? If you order from Wally-world curbside, they reserve it for you and bring it to your vehicle.

That makes the TP battles just embarrassing for the species.
