Target is limiting purchases to 6 per guest, so how did one guest get 200?

Maybe a cashier that didn't know the policy let it happen?

Why aren't they using the quantity limit in the register instead of hoping employees know the policy?

I don’t know . I was on lunch . But if I was to guess is that no one wanted to fight with her lol

Honestly I don’t care if she knew or not . Sale is sale it would have been gone in an hour either way

Here's hoping we get good Q1 profit and mean more hours for us employees.

Oddly enough, my county has the most coronavirus cases of any county in the country, but people are still going about their daily lives. No one seems panicked or anything. Very strange.

All the years I worked front end, had no idea that could be done! My particular store limits guests to 4 like items on just about anything other than 12 packs of soda, that's limit 12.

Its very rare to see it, but it really does have that functionality.

Why Are People Hoarding Toilet Paper in Response to Coronavirus?

Experts say panic buying has little do with real-life effects of the virus and is more about giving people a peace of mind and sense of control.

So between the three cars they can generate enough torque to turn the lugs on my Jeep.. K, got it! They still can't turn the lugs on my car that is 100ft lbs.

The store director for the grocery store where I work said that reminds him of Y2K on the local evening news. That being said we were out of disinfectant wipes and our toilet paper aisle was fairly empty when I left work this afternoon.

 

[busyzoningtoys]

We’re completely out of toilet paper, bleach, hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes, and Lysol etc. and very low on hand soap.

If 1 more person asks me where the toilet paper is, I'm going to tell them to check with their neighbors!

We got a fair amount of hand sanitizer in on our last truck when we'd previously been out. That's in my department and I think the 6 max limit is too high. One person does not need six giant bottles of Purell - yes, the guests can pick and choose among the other stuff for that 6, but enough of them still grab 6 of all the same thing.

So I have only been putting a couple on the shelf at a time, keeping the rest hidden on my U-boat. When the ones I put out are taken, I go back and put out a couple more. This way, more people get to pick up some, nobody gets to hoard, and the guests that come along are genuinely thrilled to find the "last bottle" on the shelf. It all gets put out before my shift ends, it all sells before my shift ends.

Kobe Bryant is dead, people are waiting outside the store like its black friday just for a chance to buy toilet paper, stock market is tanking so fast it has to be halted twice in one week, there is no more plano team, br team, pa team etc anymore, Donald Trump is president, entire countries are basically shut down, no one is allowed in from Europe or China, all sporting events postponed, Disneyland is shutdown for at least a month, the Pope is cancelling public meetings, toilet paper is a trending search on Google and Sarah Palin is singing Baby Got Back, I have come to the conclusion somewhere along the line I woke up in Bizarro world....
