This is what is leading to empty shelves. If you're really going to use 6 gallons of milk before it expires, that's one thing. Buying just for mental/hoarding purposes isn't helpful or healthy.
Ds works in a supermarket. Despite the sign on the shelf limiting people to 1 carton of eggs per visit, someone attempted to buy an entire cart full of eggs.
Regardless of how people try to justify this, it leaves no eggs for others. Having a decent supply is one thing. Unless they're feeding the Army, no one "needs" a cart full of eggs to feel safe. If you do, I'd suggest telehealth visit with a therapist to boost one's coping skills.
So not only did someone from the store have to waste precious time restocking shelves that were already stocked, that is just
more touching on items by 2 more people than was necessary, before the next buyer puts it in their cart.
