Unfuckingbelievable. What's WRONG with people?

Here in Texas, the grocery chain HEB was kindly providing hand sanitizer for customers to use at the register, to cut down on spread of CV-19.

My husband just told me that customers at his store were stealing the supplied bottles for themselves.

Thanks a lot, assholes.

Publix wound up moving theirs inside the inner doors. They used to be next to the outer doors.

Can't say I'm surprised. People at my gym steal things like the wall clocks and spa jets. They'd steal wipes and hand sanitizer, too if they could. Too bad for them my gym has paper towels and spray disinfectant. And, giant, industrial-size toilet paper rolls.

That TP roll looked as big as the tires on my car. Some woman liberated it from the restroom at a restaurant.

Pay attention to what people do and say, and remember it. You may want to "socially distance" yourself from certain people for good.

So make sure there is toilet paper before you sit down

I have had cashiers in stores who accidentally gave me too much change who were surprised when I told them and gave back the extra, for instance (most people probably wouldn't).

You can't be this blissfully ignorant of the way human beings react in a disaster situation, can you??
