Shopping this morning there was a good deal on chicken breast less than half price....anyway doesn't matter what the item was it was a great deal....someone came in and emptied the shelf whilst her friend literally blocked everyone else and filled the whole trolly up leaving nothing for anyone else. |

If you knew the secret life of budget chicken breast you would be happy that these selfish people have saved you from much trouble. |

These are good quality ones and are a loss leader for the store. |

Surely when a store has a good deal like that they put a limit on the number of packages one can buy? There is always a limit, usually 3, where I live. |

That used to happen in local supermarkets here until limits were imposed. |

I did talk to the staff and suggest they do limits from now on lets see if they do...I'm all for a bargain but that took the you know what......without tarring everyone with the same brush.....lets just say these were Eastern Europeans so probably re-sale.... |

I know with a limit you can keep coming back in but at least it slows you down and gives others a chance ! |

Maggiewinchester......that was for a charity, these were blocking others from the shelves. |

One supermarket stopping a charity buying food - another letting either a restaurant or fast food outlet buy all the bargains. |

They wouldn't have got through the checkout at our local supermarket. |

So I will keep pressing for limits in the future then sounds sensible enough ! |

'While stocks last' - tend to attach itself to such 'special' offers. |
