What location ?

It's a convenience store. That's what they do. If you can't find toilet paper jump in the shower or use a wet rag and rinse it out.

Every thing is high at a convenience store. This is how they market it’s not a supermarket.

Next they'll be selling bags of leaves.

Price drop! The TP was $2.19/roll.

I'd rather do leaves.

$1.99 per roll?


What are they smoking crack?

That's why they call it a convenience store, Not a grocery store.

I don't get it. Are people pooping that much more, or are there some with garages full of rolls of toilet paper?

What's the # To the Attorney General.

Most people around here don't even go in there unless they eat that filthy chicken or about to shit their pants and need a restroom .

At 5:37 p.m., why do you need to call the Attorney General, to complain that you need to take a crap and somebody won't give you free toilet paper? :)

Anonymous said...

5:31 they are not pooping more but they are pooping more at home. More people are working from home. Others are unemployed. The restaurants and hotels are closed, no one is traveling in airports. Etc etc etc
Home use has increased 50%

It should be cross merchandised with their chicken. They go together.

Why are stores still selling cigarettes and other tobacco products? They certainly are NOT essential items!
The answer is GREED and TAX revenue of course.

I tell you this I am a club member there and I will be cancelling my card and boycotting them because they also haven't lowered there Has prices.

Too bad their bathrooms at the stores are usually NASTY!

Free market, it is called supply and demand. What are you going to do? Are you going to die if you can't wipe your ass? :)

Don't like the price, don't buy the product. It is that simple. That's what a free market capitalist system is. You vote with your pocketbook.

The good side is, if nobody is buying their product, then they will have to lower their prices or go out of business because of no sales.

The socialist side is, that the government dictates the price of a product. If the people can't buy it they don't buy it, if they don't buy it the producer won't make it because they are not making enough money off of it to stay alive in business and so they go out of business. Then there's no product to sell at a profit and then there is nothing on the store shelves to sell at any price.

And that is exactly what happens in socialism. Big promises, empty shelves.

ANY ITEM OVER 20% DURING A STATE OF EMERGENCY IS PRICE GOUGING ... STATE LAW SO THEY HAVE QUAD TRIPLED THERE PRICE.

Those Lot Lizards that hang out back are hurting for business guys. Help them out and get yourself some trim!

Its called price gauging. They know they didn't pay 1.00 per roll &it looks like the cheap stuff. I suggest going online & order it from Walmart

Anonymous said...

Its called price gauging. Thats what the attorney general is there for. They know that cheap toilet paper didn't cost them 1.00 per roll. Thats BULL

Anonymous said...

So many people when all this started happening ran out and bought up all the TP and Paper Towels...basically hoarders! Now the hoarders are buying up all the meats only thinking about
themselves. It is sad that someone would have to pay 1.99 for a roll of TP and 3.98 for a small box
of kleenex....but once again...thanks to all the hoarders!!

They have really high gas prices as well.

My pharmacy had 8 oz bottles of hand sanatizer with a hand written sign that said $17.99 each. I posted it on social meadow with a lot of discussion and people saying to report them. The next day the sign was taken down but the other hand written signs stayed up. Hand sanitizer is only worth about a dollar and that was an outrageous mark up. I no longer use that pharmacy.

People are hoarding. They only care about them self's at this point . But while they are out buying all the toilet and exposing themselves for it how they gonna use it if they are almost dead! From catching the virus while store hopping

RO72 said...

That's not true ! They bread in 2 different containers . And the containers get washed every shift unless needed more.

The Bottom line is people have got to Grip about something!So why not TOLIET PAPER!MY OLE MY WHAT WOULD MR.WHIPPEL SAY? "He would say -Just pay for it and by the way -PLEASE DON'T SQUEEZE THE CHAIRMAN."

Anonymous said...

So.....as someone who is actually an employee at a RoFo....ever think that because of everyone buying the toilet paper out and hoarding we couldn't get it in either? We were getting drops of whatever the company could order in from whomever for whatever the cost was for us to get it on our shelves. And we paid an ridiculous price for it in the first place to have it for sale....because we are not a medical/government/grocery store we do not have first dibs on any supplies like that. Yeah my store did have those rolls. Yeah they were pricey. Because it cost the company stupid money for single rolls of cottonelle. When we are able to get more reasonable priced things in, we do. I have a 4pack we just got in selling for like 1.99 right now.....does nobody on this page know basic supply and demand.....

Unknown said...

I work at a royal farms in laurel md and my store and its bathrooms are always clean on my shift for sure

Prices need to rise when demand rises or you have people who hoard

Anonymous said...

With some of the language from a lot of responders need all the TP they can get. They need to wipe more than their posterior.

Gas prices have gone down significantly buddy. I dont know where you've been but its under $2 per gallon

Unknown said...

Unknown said...

What you people dont get is the stuff comes into our stores already priced from corporate the individual stores dont price it but go ahead assume what you want as a store that is open to the public during a pandemic please by all means keep complaining and we can just discontinue it pretty much stupidly will get you no where if others weren't hoarding everything it would not be like this and we could find it af walmart so for those little families that feel entitled to three 24 packs that's the problem not a gas station that is still doing their best to help the public we had to beg and fight to even sell t.p but no by all means keep complaining we have to wear a mask and stand 9 yo 10 hours to make sure you get your slushie but hey complaining makes it so much better

I don't know what's Royal Farms you're going to but the one I work for are chicken is damn well good I don't know what you're talking about when you caught selfie chicken that's one of the best chickens out here better than KFC and definitely better than Popeye

Nobody cares if you like their chicken or not you don't have to buy it or chicken is very famous and we saw a lot of it at my store you people need to get a grip I've been in so many convenience stores and there are places higher than a dollar 99 per roll because they know they can do that right now

Your cigarettes are not essential for people that don't use them but for people that have a smoking habit and that is essential for them just as much as you or anyone else need him to because it's essential so that's just say it like saying that if you're addicted to food that you shouldn't have food because it's not essential come on people knock it off

Anonymous said...

I don't know which Royal Farms you people are going to but the ones you're going to must be outrageous but the ones in Glen Burnie Maryland are not their competitive with any other of gas stations out here what do you guys think that they should do drop gas to a dollar a gallon for I would love to see that but that's never going to happen anywhere

Depends on what's Royal Farms you go in

And there you go: No price controls, and no shortages. That's how it works, Basic supply and demand that many socialist minds can't understand.

First, If you don't like the chicken, don't buy it many others do.
Second, our gas prices are right in line with others.
Third, the employees are working, standing on their feet 8 to 10 hours a day, to make sure our shelves are stocked with essentials such as bread, milk, drinks like juice as well as soda & water & eggs. God forbid we don't have that bag of gummie bears you want, they are essential though right.
Fourth, cigarettes are essential to a smoker at this critical time in our lives. For someone addicted to nicotine to be cut off would only increase their aggrivation on top of the stress put upon all of us during this pandemic.
Fifth, the employees are being treated terribley by many customers, not all of course, but many are rude, nasty, ignorant, yell & scream at us for things that are beyond our control. We did not cause this virus or any of the consequences of the virus. We are in the same pandemic you are, concerned about being infected ourselves, our families & friends the same as you Mr or Ms Customer. Treat us with the same respect you want us to show you. If your are that scared of getting sick that you treat us like we are the virus, then stay home. Don't run out to get a candy bar & slushie because you are bored.
Last but not least, who do you think it is that leaves the restrooms nasty & disgusting? The CUSTOMERS that use them. We inspect & clean our restrooms on a regular basis. We use the same restrooms as well as are forced to clean & sanitize them. Anyone that thinks it is the employees that leave the mess is crazy out of their mind. I won't be gross & tell of the things I have been forced to clean but I could make your skin crawl by describing what people do in a public restroom that has been provided for their convenience & comfort. Why do they do it? Are they proud of themselves?
By the way, policy in all the Royal Farms Stores is set by the corporate office not the individual stores. Prices are are also set by the corporate office through what ever negotiations between them & vendors not individual stores. The employees must follow all policies & pricing set forth by the corporate office.

I mean fuckin hell stay the fuck home. Of its not needed.

You are the scum bag that forces businesses to raise their price. The business pays for that product no matter if it is purchased or stollen by your nasty butt.
