The other day I was in B&BW for the semi-annual sale, and I decided to stock up on the Twisted Peppermint body scrub because I absolutely love it. Anyway, I was one of the first people in the store when it opened, as there were about 10 other people waiting outside for the doors to open. When we came in, I immediately was given a basket and went straight to the display of the Twisted Peppermint scrubs. There were 45 there, so I put them all in my basket and asked the sales associate if she had any left in the back. She said whatever was out was what they had left, so I decided buying 45 of them would certainly hold me out until the next holiday season when it came out, especially since I had another 15 at home. So that's 60 scrubs right there!

Well, here's where the trouble began. I was standing in line waiting to pay, and a few other customers came in asking about the Twisted Peppermint scrubs. The sales associate pointed to the display where they were, and saw there were none left. Then the customers saw I had all of them in my basket, and one woman starts SCREAMING that it's unfair that I took all of them. I told her I had been there before her and was intending on paying for them, and was already waiting in line. She threw a fit and insisted the manager be called out to "settle" the problem. The manager reluctantly came out, as the store was busy, and the customer starts telling her there should be an "item limit per customer" policy to prevent a single customer for buying the entire stock, because apparently it was unfair that I was allowed to buy 45 and she wasn't allowed to have any. She starts bitching that I should give her 10 from my basket because it was unfair to her. Long story short, I told her to get lost and I bought my 45 scrubs while she b*tched out loud the entire time I was being rung up.

My question is, is there an "item limit per customer" policy, saying that one customer can't buy more than a certain number of product? I've never had this problem before! I also shop at Yankee Candle and when my favorite scent, Cherry Lemonade, was discontinued I went and bought about 80 tarts, 50 votives, and 18 large jars they had left in that scent. None of those sales associates said anything...
