An Adelaide supermarket boss in Australia has rejected a customer's attempt to return 150 packets of toilet paper for a refund.
John-Paul Drake, the director of Drakes Supermarkets, posted a video on YouTube describing the customer's bold 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.

What a fool. He needs to keep that backup supply for at least a couple more years.

Lol I like that type of Aus directness, no fluffing, straight to the point.

Am I right in thinking he actually bought a lifetime supply of loo roll for a single person...

My mom told me a story about a guy who was hoarding hand sanitizer and trying to sell it at an increased price, if I remember correctly (he'd buy out the local stores so people couldn't get it there) and ended up getting it taken away and distributed to places that needed it.

He was probably one of those trying to make a buck on selling at black-market prices on eBay
