A man in Australia who purchased around $10,000 worth of toilet paper and hand sanitizer was recently denied a refund by a supermarket owner.
A similar situation occurred in Woolworths supermarkets in Australia earlier in March. As the panic buying in the stores increased, Woolworths released a memo to their customers outlining a change in the refund policy.
"From Wednesday 11 March 2020 until further notice, we will not provide a refund where you have simply changed your mind about products purchased from Woolworths," the supermarket said in a memo according to the. Some of the items listed in the refund policy change include toilet paper, pain relief medicine, bacterial wipes, and hand sanitizer.
In Australia, the new coronavirus, which causes the respiratory disease COVID-19, has infected over 6,400 people, according to a tracker provided by Johns Hopkins University. The virus has also caused at least 63 deaths in the country.
