ALDI takes a swipe at coronavirus panic buyers
ALDI is just one of many supermarkets to introduce tough new limits as panic buying toilet paper has gripped Australia.
Just like Woolworths and Coles, ALDI has dropped its toilet paper limits to one pack per customer instead of the previous limit of four.
A new sign was spotted by a customer, saying “We apologise if this act of courtesy is a disruption to your shop”.
“The sign is across all stores and reflects the current sentiment of the brand,” an Aldi spokesperson told news.com.au.
Customers were fans of the sign.
“Love the little dig at the end to the uncourteous shoppers,” one person wrote on Facebook.
“Exactly what EVERY supermarket chain should be doing,” another said.
ALDI has also put a post on its Facebook page explaining the changes.
“To help improve access to toilet paper for our customers, we have limited the purchase of all toilet paper lines to one pack per customer,” it reads.
“We ask our customers to remember to show kindness, empathy and calmness when shopping with us.”

Customers are on board with the new limits, saying that it’s a welcome change.
“Thank you for helping reduce the insanity and greed and helping those with limited funds and access,” one person wrote.
“Thank goodness. All stores need to do this … stop the madness!!” someone else added.
