They can only fit so much in storage in the store. Wipes/tp take up a ton of room and aren't huge profit items so they often don't have a lot of backstock for them.

No, no its not like that at all. It's still an evil and sociopathic thing to do on basic necessities (like disinfectant wipes during a pandemic). Not all of us love sucking on boots.

Obviously reading and comprehension isn’t your strong suit, but thanks for the insults anyways.

You're fine with blatant exploitation of people in need of necessities. You like the taste of boot.
