Sydney’s Redfern Convenience Store charging $99 for toilet paper

A Sydney convenience store has found a novel way of stopping “greedy” coronavirus-panicked toilet paper hoarders.

Rather than strictly limiting how many loo rolls customers can buy amid the COVID-19 crisis, Redfern Convenience Store has adopted a different tack.

The inner Sydney store is still allowing patrons to purchase a two-pack for $3.50, but a second pack will bring the total price to a whopping $99.

“Don’t be greedy,” a sign posted in front of the coveted stock reads.

“Think of the other people.”

Owner Hazem Sedda took to social media to explain the pricing structure to the store’s 18,000 Instagram followers.

He said they were attempting to avoid scenes from across the country where supermarkets have been left with barren toilet paper shelves.

“We do have toilet paper,” Mr Sedda wrote on Instagram.

“And we are doing our best to keep them in stock for you.

“Please only buy what you need. Don’t buy to stock up as a lot of people are desperate for one roll.”
