I just wanted to know before I 'raised Cain', lol, because I didn't want to be accused of the 'F' word.
Went into Family Dollar Sat, bought 2. Cashier looked like she was going to say something, but didn't.
Went in yesterday, (I figured since it is a small store, and my only FD, I'd be better off to break them up into multiple trips).
Attempted to buy 5. Cashier that worked yesterday, told her that she needed to check w/ the office, to see if I could actually buy 5, especially since I bought 2 the day before. (in the past, they've had me buy 1 item, other than the Electrasol, so their system figures the tax correctly-ok pita, but I humor them.)
Couldn't get a hold of anyone in office, since it was Sun., she had to call her mgr. Her mgr, told her she would check and get back to her. Phone rings, no word yet.
Final outcome 20-25 min later-they sold me the 5 boxes, but warned me that rules may be different next time I return.
They told me that some guy used to come in and buy 20 Marcal paper towels at a time, and wipe them out, every time the Q came out. (Not cool, they wiped them out. I know. The son-of-a-gun ALWAYS beat me there, and as a result, I was lucky if I could get 1 or 2.)
So cashiers grumbled that they (corp.) needs to LIMIT people, on these loss leader deals.
So I lost a good 20-25 minutes of my life in there yesterday. Not to mention, regardless of small store or not...they could order ahead! After all, they ARE getting reimbursed for the Qs, plus the .08 per Q. Not only that, but it would increase their sales.
Go figure.
I can argue the 1 Q per purchase thing to death; I've had lots of experience w/ that.

Just crossing my ts, and dotting my i's, before I attempt again.
