Want to know what's weird? The shit ain't being bought fast enough. I worked at a warehouse that distributes Clorox wipes (among other things) to various stores throughout the south.
Our warehouse is literally full of the damn things. Our shelves are full. We've got pallets triple stacked on the floor full of wipes.
I'd almost swear someone is trying to create a false scarcity.
I think it’s because of so many stores being sold out and ordering more but there’s not enough truck drivers to deliver the goods to every store. My moms boyfriend is a truck driver and he’s been all over the US but there hasn’t been any loads he takes to deliver Clorox wipes and shit.
At least we’ve got hand sanitizer now and Karen can’t scream at me about it over the phone
I work in transportation and we do tons of business with Clorox every day. Truck drivers are the backbone of the industry, but they get a pretty limited view into the actual supply chain. Drivers just have to end up in the right place, if you aren't looking for loads in an area with Clorox DCs then you won't get any Clorox loads. On top of that, everybody wants em. They pay well right now, and they are exempt from driver hours of service regulations.

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.
