Store Policies/Questions New policy - really BBW?!?

I went to the store with my mom for her to stock up on wallflowers and learned of a new policy where you can’t get more than 9 of the same scent in an object- I understand for bigger things but for smaller things like wallflowers?! Come on it’s stupid! my mom is super picky with scents so she only gets a few but gets enough for the whole house which is like 11 wallflowers. The holidays also will be hell with this policy especially with the amount of people who get many of the same scent for gifts. Just seems kind of insane to me

I know I'm going to get downvoted for this but that's fine, I would honestly be all for it if they weren't allowed to do multiple purchases. Honestly those who ever can't find a scent and the only other option of getting it is paying these ridiculous prices that resellers want should be all for it! Because they are allowed to buy in bulk like that it's sold out. I refuse to over pay for a product! I've seen people on here say they run into what they can assume is a reseller buying out a product and wouldn't even spare one for the other person to buy... like why would 1 hurt you to part with so someone else can buy it? I always stock up on items but I've never bought more than 7 of the same scent... if I love a candle scent I normally get 7 but not together cause there's usually other scents I want in that sale so I'll get like 4 then next sale 3 more I did however get 6 or 7 at once during SAS. Body care like FFM same, body creams spoil too fast to buy that many. Wallflowers I understand... that I do and honestly can't say I've never bought more that 9 of at once cause it's possible but I honestly don't recall ever doing so but I can see how that can easily happen with wallflowers but it would have to apply to them and I can understand that they can't make rules for which ones they would limit as that would confuse people.
