No Cottonelle, Are You Kidding Me?

Talk about my worst fear! I have two and they both involve toilet paper! Recently I was at the store, I live in a small town and only needed milk so I went to the local one, when I get a call from my mother saying we are out of toilet paper. My first thought was OMG!! How in the world had I even let us run low, I use a pack of toilet paper a day all by myself so it is something we do not ever run low on. So I headed over to the Bathroom Aisle only to discover that the IGA didn’t carry Cottonelle.

“No Cottonelle, Are You Kidding Me?”  are the exact words that came out of my mouth! How in the world can a store not carry a major brand? I mean what is this the nineteen thirties? Talk about suddenly being plunged into the dark ages. The nice (I use nice very loosely) told me that while they occasionally have it they don’t really have a call for it very often and could order me some but it would take a week or so to get it. However I was more than welcome to try out the store brand  which she uses and loves.

NOT! There is no way I putting some 1-ply toilet paper anywhere near my bottom, it just is not happening! So I put back the milk and other items and got in the car heading into town. A major store is about 45 minutes away but this was an emergency and I knew I needed to hurry and get back home. I was about halfway out-of-town when I got pulled over and had to explain that it truly was an emergency because I was out of toilet paper and I had to have Cottonelle. I am pretty sure the chick as the IGA called in on me, she just gave me the “I hate customers like you” look but the police officer felt sorry enough for my poor bum to just give me a warning.

As he turned to walk away he look back and told me “Why don’t you just pick up the store brand at the IGA? It’s not that bad.” The response I wanted to give would not have been very polite so I just smiled and told him to pick up some Cottonelle and Fresh Care Wipes the next time he goes into town. Then let me know the next time he sees me how the store brand compares. I saw him this morning as I was heading into the Post Office. He said “Hey Cottonelle lady! I totally get it now!!”
