The Giant store at 5400 Westbard Avenue in Bethesda is the latest store to bring back limits on purchases of certain items. It is a soft limit based on the honor system, however, compared to the firm numerical limits imposed by stores like Target and Costco. Signs in the paper goods aisle politely ask customers to limit their purchases to what is necessary at this time.
There was still a good supply of almost all paper goods at the Westbard store last night, so there is no crisis at the moment. As you can see in the photos below, virtually all paper good needs can be filled at this time, and panic-buying is unnecessary. Bounty is the top-of-the-line paper towel, and there was plenty on the shelves. Supply line problems, and irrational panic buying inspired by the Delta variant, are among the factors affecting inventories across the retail sector nationwide. Giant promises it is making every effort to restock any low-inventory items as soon as possible.

I believe that signs like these create hoarding and panic buying
This has the reverse effect from what they're doing it for. This induces panic.
Correct and as I stated as well.
With the high price of paper towels, I discovered a good substitute for certain jobs: Junk mail and old newspaper. I use it to scrub dirty plant pots and clean the glass on the aquariums.
I save paper towels for food prep and countertops.
