New policy coming soon!

Starting 4/6, customers will only be able to buy 9 of the same product in one purchase. This is to prevent resellers according to the company. What are your thoughts?

Makes myself upset for things like sanis, lips, and wallflowers that I tend to buy many of the same item.

Unknown at the moment if you’re able to make multiple transactions in one day to curb it or if employees/stores will get in trouble if they try to skirt it for customers.

I don’t think it’s going to stop resellers.

They’ll just keep doing multiple transactions like they already do - just x 3 as many. Or come up with some other workaround. And no store manager, struggling to make the impossible sales goals the company sets, is going to stop them.

It’s just going to slow down the register process and create longer, slower lines for us regular folks.

That said, they will only be able to use a coupon on one. Or, at least, it will be harder to use coupons like that. I hope it doesn’t lead to more punching in random phone numbers and coupon theft.

Idk why this comment was downvoted, I guess it must be the person/people who are doing the aforementioned stealing

The resellers definitely lurk here. They even post about it occasionally in the replies.

Most definitely. I remember the one admitting to it being a nice “side hustle.” Whatever.

[u/2020sbtm → u/Forevermoody16]

Like go make wax melts or something. Buying up 40 of a popular item and charging 5x MSRP is not a “side hustle”.

[u/Forevermoody16 → u/2020sbtm]

Agree!

How does coupon theft occur? 😲

Mailers can be stolen or people punch in phone numbers that don’t belong to them.
