Supermarkets tend to operate with what's called "just in time" inventory. In other words, they don't like to have big stockpiles of goods like toilet paper hanging around.
They usually get deliveries each day, with just enough stock to hold them over to the next delivery.
If we think about toilet paper, it tends to be light and bulky, which means supermarkets can only hold 100-250 packets in one aisle.
If just half a dozen or a dozen people buy extra packets, suddenly the demand lifts very quickly and it's hard to keep that stock on the shelf.
As a result, you can quickly end up with empty shelves.
Especially when the liberal media keeps telling us the sky is falling...…
Anyone who is interested in the psychology aspect can read this:
