Paper Towel order are worth their weight in gold

[Orion1876]

I recently placed an order for some paper towels a few days ago.  I was excited I was able to find them available for order.

Sadly I got an email on Monday saying my order was on back order, and then Walmart sent me an email today stating my order has been cancelled.

I guess it is just a sign of the times we are in right now.

I just don't understand why there is a need to cancel these type of orders.  It was in stock when I placed the order, why not keep it on back order for a while or give the customer the option to keep the order or cancel it.

I don't understand why the paper products were ever out to begin with.

The simple answer is unhealthy paranoia.   Even firearms are sold out pretty much everywhere.   Apparently some think they need firepower to protect themselves from this virus.  lol
