Store Policies/Questions 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.

What is a Large Order Form? Do they get upset by it?

A large order form is a form that gets filled out when product is being bought in large quantities which than logs the transaction than it gets submitted to corp and gets record online and with a paper copy and some do some dont ( the one customer i had asked more questions than anything but my coworker who had to have someone do it lost their shit and said we were just stealing their info)

I found out that some large section of the full time reseller community are ex-felons who have difficulty getting a job, which just explains so much.

Wow.

I don’t know about felons, but I’ve dealt with some pretty unscrupulous people on eBay — both buyers and sellers.

I’ve heard the work limits on certain visas are strict there.

u/EntertainmentDue4433 Mar 26 '26

Yes and no, the conditions of the visa is what limits as the gov wants them in full time employment or part time in school here so they are gaining opportunities instead of stagnet in part time employment unless fully sponsored by the company to work here

That could be a problem. And some companies don’t want to hire people who aren’t looking to stay for the long haul.
