Cant Buy More Than $400 of Groceries?

Where are you at?

FEMA

Simple really, it inhibits ones ability to stock pile rations.

Suburbs of Washington DC

weird. ask the manager of the store to 'splain that one to you.

do you write checks? maybe they don't want to take checks over $400.00

Good to know.

Thanks for sharing.

can others here check with thier local stores and see if this is isolated?

I will check today when I go shopping this afternoon .

If true this is a very bad thing

So get on the phone right now and call the store manager, tell them that's what you were told at their store yesterday and ask for a reasonable explanation. They will tell you what they are required to tell you, come back and post their response. Otherwise you will be accuse of trying to encite a riot here for no reason. (which is my take on your post.)

Yeah, it was very odd. I didnt see the manager, but if hes there the next time I will ask.

I dont use checks, just debit card.

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE GROCERY STORE????
WASHINGTON DC SUBURB??? YOU LIVE IN DA HOOD? STORY REEKS OF SHITE!

I agree, my cousins daughter just charged over $800.00 on her mom and dads house account at their local grocery store.

and more

Not the hood at all (go north on 270 all the way - its not the hood) and not BS.

Just found it weird and disturbing, but nevermind.

I would be curious if this is just this store or this area or if its everywhere?!?

buy half your shit then come back later

OP
If this is true. Call the store and ask a store manager what is going on. The clerk obviously is on a need to know basis.

this is total BS

Exactly which store in which suburb?

No answer BINGO, go outside and ride your 3 wheeler into traffic, kid.

You know you people can be a real pain in the ass when someone is trying to post a personal experience.

Just take it as a heads-up and move on... no need to be such fuckers bashing the OP...

oh yeah, I forgot you SOB's can't help yourselves... you will be drooling next!

Maybe because food supplies are dwindling and store managers knwo this.

About a month ago at my local(brookshires)market they told me i was over my limit on checks i had written that week.

they said i had written 7,i asked ta speak with manager because no way i had done this,they were wrong!the store system was pinging me off someone elses store card.

made them issue me another,and they have a policy of any amount over $50.00 the cashier has to get a manager to approve purchase.


they come and look at ya and ask how are you doing as they stick a key in and punch a code and then walk off,whats up with this shit?

i smell bullshit

It shouldn't matter how much food they sell any one person as long as they ring up a sale. We're not down to rationing yet as far as I know.

What's the name of the store, and the address/phone number, and maybe someone here will call and ask.

Montgomery County, MD, up I270 from DC--like Germantown,or Gaithersburg?

Giant Food?
MacGruders?

Maybe to make it inconvenient for people to horde their food pile.

This sounds like a price control method. A method used to reduce panic and rioting as food shortages develop.

No, it's made up BS.
