Coronavirus: Would you use toilet paper as currency for coffee or food?
Due to the shortage of toilet paper, one Australian Cafe creates a bartering system
Due to the state of people panic buying all the toilet paper, a cafe in North Queensland, Australia, Jaques Coffee Plantation, has resorted to a barter system: toilet rolls for coffee.
This barter system was created by the cafe's general manager, Jason Jaques, who noticed the shortage of toilet rolls, along with the fact that the cafe's wholesale suppliers had all run out.
He took to the cafe's social media to set up a new barter system: a take away coffee for 3 toilet rolls, or a 1 kg bag of coffee for a pack of 36 toilet rolls.
Patrons of the cafe surprisingly took up the offer. One customer bought three coffees for a pack of 9 toilet rolls. Jaques Coffee Plantation was well covered on the local news. It was reported that until their regular suppliers start up with routine deliveries again, they will continue to follow the barter system.
It's official, I've now seen everything. But, I have a question for you👇🏼

I would never sacrifice my toilet roll. Far too valuable
Please explain further...
As much as I love my coffee..... I seriously think I would lol.
For the love of coffee?
Oh yes!
Lol are you serious? Did you see that funny video where they did a barter of toilet paper for a lamborghini?
Yeah I did, I thought it was ridiculous
Lol it was
You can not sacrifice toilet paper and take common coffee. Must be gold or diamonds...🤪
Ok that’s good to know
These are the days where it's a sign of wealth to have toilet paper trailing from your shoe.
The way things are going very true. You could probably show your wealth more when you light a cigar with toilet paper.
