Reductio ad bananum. I explicitly said camera lady was probably being stupid.

TP and paper towels are not essential goods. No one is being harmed by the hoarder collecting up paper goods.
Her selfishness may not be on a level that results in death, but it's hard to think someone trying to profit off other's desire to wipe their ass is being the kind of 'team player' we'd like have in our society in a time of crisis.

So, you think facilitating a toilet paper racket (the store) is wrong, but running that racket yourself (hoarder lady) is ok? Surely, they must share the blame.
Moreover, there's lot of things that are 'legal' to do, but you're still a cunt if you do them.
