More than likely the people who wanted 20 cases have acquired that since last spring. I bet the people who just kept a few rolls in the house already changed their habits. I imagine it is like the shooters who would go buy ammo before going to the range. They realized they need to stock up a little.
I would have thought the chance for post-election violence would motivate people more.
Yes, this is my thinking - that a lot of "just one of item 'X' in the house" people have changed their ways and become more like those of us here (though perhaps not quite as crazy
) and are keeping stock of important items. For only a couple of weeks perhaps, but even that changes their psychology so that they don't panic and overbuy. Sadly, in five years that smart supply stocking will be forgotten by most, and something else will then set off a new round of panic.
On the post election violence, JMO, but I don't expect that to have as much of an effect on food and supply hoarding. I think that's more about guns, ammo, and security stuff hoarding.
