There are supposedly many who voted for this,some here.OMG don't get me started.
Gas is up 100%, everything else at least 30 or 40%... many things you can't get at all... at any price.
As a VFW commander I've been fighting the battle of getting fish fry supplies for close to a year now. No Pollock this time, no Perch next, wrong Cat another. Same with other bar supplies. No little 4 oz cups for slaw, no 16 oz cups for bar drinks No beer & liquor for 3 or four weeks in a row because there are no drivers, no Pepsi products for the bar tap system. Gaming company not printing new games for the machines, and the ones they are... they're going from the 5 tab (pull tab) to a 3 tab format because of a cardboard shortage. Of course... the 3 tab ones don't feed for crap in the machines designed for 5 tab cards.
Wife and I were in Lafayette today looking for recliners. Walk in, and the store is completely full. Looks as if the whole world is at you feet for the taking. Sorry, don't have that one. Nope, that one either. We can order this one, but only in grey... be here in approx 6 months. NOTHING in stock.
I told the lady "We're on the road to "The Walking Dead". Pretty soon well be scrounging for a can of cream corn." I honestly do not know how the hell they are even staying open for business... unless the sheep are putting down their money, and waiting the six months hoping for the best.
Is this the "Build back better" plan?
I'm not getting it, but the whole damn world seems to be accepting it just fine as the "new normal".
That is good cheese thoughIt shouldn't take long before you will be allowed 1 loaf of bread, 1 dozen eggs, 1 gallon of milk, a pound of ground meat, a bag of flour, a 8oz bag of cheese, and 2 cans of beans.
We will have the pleasure of govt. cheese soon.
Well I hope it’s just a software issue for the 150 limit but on the other hand I am seeing more limits on the amount of single items. (Limit 4 etc.) I’m of the mindset that if you don’t have 3 months of food in the house then there is a problem. Of course I’m in the country so a grocery is not 3 minutes away. The 7 ‘P’s” are the way to go IMHO…
Choose another line.Ever considered that they might be doing this to get people through checkout faster?
I've seen quite a few people roll up with 3 carts FULL of small canned goods and other things. Then they slowly place item by item, taking an hour to finally get done.
Get your stuff, check out, load your car and come back if you need more.
An old Chief Master Sargent quoted that to me back 44 years ago. Now I’m older than he was.Thank you for that reference "7 P's" Here I'd been using it forever and I didn't know it's source. Also don't recall where I first learned it, but ya know, I'm old...

So to get them through the line faster, they are going to cap the amount of purchases, unknown to the customer. Then when they hit the cap, they sit there like a new calf at an old gate waiting for the employee to come over that also has no idea what is going on.Ever considered that they might be doing this to get people through checkout faster?

Why would a retailer care? It is sales, not to whom the sales go…I've seen quite a few people roll up with 3 carts FULL of small canned goods and other things. Then they slowly place item by item, taking an hour to finally get done.
Since they only ever seem to have two checkout lines open, maybe it is hurting productivity to have half the cashiers tied up that longTrump is to blame!
I guess 150 items is quite a few for any 1 shopping trip. But what is the point of limits generically? I can understand an item/product that is in high demand and low supply, but to just limit purchases generically with an arbitrary number??
Well, we had that for buttwipe and paper towels and just about anything disinfectant for a while. Probably having a hard time matching supply with demand and wanting some on shelves longer to please a greater number of peopleDifferent store. . . Meijer.
Took the wife to Meijer yesterday and she said certain products had limits on them, sounded like no more than two of certain items. Shelves not full.
Yeah, not sure what it is with Meijer, but my daughter does all of her grocery shopping there, and for the last couple of years has been telling us they were out of common stuff, one week it was applesauce, then toilet paper, then canned green beans, and so on. We shop Kroger every week, and they were never out, or even running low on the stuff Meijer didn’t have.Different store. . . Meijer.
