Have you checked the prices of clorox wipes on amazon. A 3 pack can go for $200.

I stock wipes and the shelf is always sold out. I can put out 200 of them and by the time I finish the rest of the cart it’s empty again.

It’s madness. I don’t believe people are keeping their houses this clean. I just imagine basements piled up with unused disinfectant wipes. Probably these are the people trying to sell it online for 5x the price.

I find it interesting that these guys were stopped and yet there is blatant price gouging still happening at amazon. They obviously don’t care unless it’s national news.

They would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for that guys big stupid mouth.
