ACME ~ Vent: The Mayo snachers are at it again!!

[pookie111]

I got the joy of taking care of the mayo guys buying Post cereal 5 a time last night at Woodbury. They even tried not unloading their cart but I made them since I couldn't tell how much cereal was in their.

I now know why stores in Northern Nj put limits on their stuff.

? i dont shop at the "acme" this forum is for, but i'm curious. Whatcha talking about? I always buy cereal at bulk. 10+ boxes at a time, esp. if it's free or close to it!

Over the summer these 2 guys bought carts and carts of Helman's mayo during a catalina deal all over New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Made many stores limit their deals. They are buying them to resell which IMO is wrong. They wipe out the shelves and make it hard for other couponers who want to do the deals to donate to food bank and feed their family. Now they are buying boxes and boxes of Post cereal wiping out shelves.

Ugh. Hate the Mayo Snatchers. They do it at the Wonder Bread Outlet too. Buy the 99¢ bread there and re-sell at their stores. I know it's that bread because it has a black marker line through it.

Do you mean you feel resale is wrong in general or that clearing shelves is wrong? Or both?

Both. To sell to friends and family is ok but to own a store and shop in other stores to stock it it wrong!

Again this is just My opinion.

Sam's club, Bj's, distributors is where they should.

Actually someone onhere posted months ago when we first met the "Mayo snatchers & cereal guys" that it is against the law unlawful for a store owner to buy food and resell it like that. Part of the reason store owners have to go thru distributors is in case of issues with products or recalls for safety reasons.

LianneSnj we are talking about taking every single box not 5 or 10 like as much as fits on the shelf 30, 40, 50:(

The discussion has to be in this Acme forum somewhere. If I can find the thread I'll post a link or anyone who finds it before me can too:)

Currently pulling my hair out & having a Monday:P lol
Just missed the trash guy and I had a chicken carcass to go into the trash :(
Hate having that sitting around:( Sigh at least the chicken is picked;)
