"My sister is expecting triplets, so I have been stockpiling as many diapers as I can when I find them discounted. My local grocery store marks them down several times a month but it is done randomly. Employees are not allowed to buy them or hold discounted items while they are on the clock. There is a serious threat of termination. An employee told me this."
"She was pregnant and wished she would buy a lot like I did. I offered to buy and hold them for her. I work right across the street and she could just pay me back wholesale. I ended up buying a lot of the discounted diapers and put them in my SUV. We exchanged numbers and met up for the exchange. Since then, she and another employee will text me when the discounted diapers happen."
A shopper stockpiles discounted diapers when they appear at a local grocery store that marks down diapers randomly. An employee warned that staff cannot buy or hold discounted items while on the clock and that violations could lead to termination. The shopper bought many discounted boxes, stored them in an SUV and arranged exchanges with employees and coworkers who paid cash at sale price. The stash grew large enough to crowd a guest room and vehicle. A co-worker accused the shopper of stealing and being greedy, and threatened to report the employees to management.
