Whole Foods has toilet paper if you order online

at least in the New Orleans area.

I've heard neighbors and friends complaining that there is no tp on the floor at WF, but that there might be some available if you use their online shopping site.

On a whim, I ordered some on the Amazon website on Monday (though it actually came from Whole Foods). It was delivered from my local Whole Foods store to my house today and they DELIVERED MORE THAN I REQUESTED.

I ordered two small 4-packs. I received a text this morning stating that they were out of some of my items, so they substituted the tp. They DELIVERED TWO 12-PACKS OF TP, which is way more than I need.

There is a family in my neighborhood on public assistance, with several kids living at home, one a special needs child. I'm going to give them the tp.

I'm pretty pissed off that people can't buy tp in the store, but can get it online. What about people who don't have internet access or who are not savvy enough to use it?

That store in many ways is almost bare. No toilet paper,no napkins no paper products at all. Absolutely no bread,not even buns--same as a week ago. Almost no breakfast stuff that's frozen. Hardly any meat,can't even buy a GD dish washing tablet--who the HELL hoards those? Plenty of eggs which they say the price is skyrocketing on those,but I can do without. Hardly any orange juice in cartons.

Seriously that store was almost void of shoppers and they have signs out that their cutting hours back to close at 8:30pm and not open until 7:30am.

Plenty of BEER though!!

toilet paper delivered to my house sure wouldn't be one of them.

going into stores to find tp, who don’t use the internet, who can’t get it if it’s only available to online shoppers.

Which is why I’m giving some to my neighbor, who doesn’t have a computer.

Why did you feel the need to be rude?
