After leaving the order, the driver oohed over Evan Era’s generous display of toilet paper 12-packs and bottles of hand sanitizer on the front porch, accompanied by a sign reading, “Delivery drivers: Take it if you need it! Thank you for your hard work.”
The messenger knocked on the door to confirm he could take a TP pack and gel sanitizer, and expressed his thanks for the thoughtful gesture.
“Aw man, you a lifesaver, thank you,” the courier told the camera. “I went to Walmart, it’s kind of hard, though… I didn’t get no toilet paper… thank you, man.”

Though bidet sales are reportedly spiking during the ongoing outbreak, toilet paper remains a universal must-have for millions of American households. In a bid to cash in on the craze, food-serving establishments in Illinois, Wisconsin, Los Angeles and Arizona have found creative ways to peddle two-ply during the pandemic.
Overseas, toilet paper has apparently become so coveted that a German bakery has been producing hundreds of playful toilet paper-inspired cakes per day.
