here’s a fun “only in a pandemic” story:
we’re running low on toilet paper at my parents’ house. supposedly have a shipment coming any day now, but it’s stuck somewhere in transit.
we called every pharmacy, office supply store, home depot in the area. nada.

i get a tip from a friend: a bagel store nearby is supposedly selling toilet paper.
i call the place and awkwardly ask if they are, in fact, selling toilet paper. the nice girl says yes! four rolls per person! and curbside pickup only.
i say GREAT, i’ll be right there.

i drive over, call when im outside. someone brings a bag out to the car, i hand him cash, and i’m good to go.
meanwhile, my bf walked up separately and secured another 4 rolls, then got in the car. when i looked at our bags next to each other, mine was much smaller.

i looked in my bag and sure enough there were 4 rolls....of bread.
it is a bagel store, after all, and in normal times 4 rolls would mean just that. but these are not normal times and a bagel store is selling toilet paper.

i called back, explained the mixup, and they brought out 4 rolls of toilet paper and kept the bread. even though it’s passover.
the end.
the end.
