One person commented: ‘Disappointing. Encouraging people to buy products in bulk [when] the government is urging us to be sensible.
‘Think of the people who can’t afford to buy hundreds of dollars’ worth of anything. It’s because of people like you, the less fortunate cannot buy a roll of toilet paper. Shame.’
