Toilet paper shortage posts are all over social media after the recent port strikes at several ports around the country.
"Hope you have some toilet paper stockpiled. It's started. Sam's and Costco are depleted," wrote one person in a post on X.
It all comes after the dockworkers nationwide strike on Tuesday, following failed negotiations between ports and the International Longshoremen's Association.
The strike by dockworkers at 36 ports from Maine to Texas, the first in decades, could snarl supply chains and lead to shortages and higher prices if it stretches on for more than a few weeks.
Workers began walking picket lines early Tuesday in a strike over wages and automation even though progress had been reported in contract talks. The contract between the ports and about 45,000 members of the International Longshoremen's Association expired at midnight Tuesday.
