News.com.au, 15 April 2020:

A supermarket boss has given one of his customers the bird after it’s claimed the man tried to return almost 5000 rolls of toilet paper and 150 bottles of hand sanitiser which he couldn’t sell online.
John-Paul Drake, an executive with South Australian supermarket chain Drakes, said he refused to given the man a refund.
In a video uploaded to YouTube, Mr Drake said recent panic buying of toilet paper had been “absolutely ridiculous” with the company selling eight months’ worth in four days at one point.
But one customer’s behaviour was worse than the others.
“I had my first customer yesterday who said he wanted to get a refund on 150 packets of 32-pack toilet paper and 150 units of one-litre sanitiser.” In 150 packs of 32-roll toilet paper there would be 4800 individual rolls.
Mr Drake said the man had come into the store to get his money back after website eBay refused to allow him to sell the items online.
In the video, Mr Drake then showed his middle finger and said that was his reply to the customer’s request.
