    Stores are often easily able to put a limit per transaction. I don’t think a scalper is going to go through the till 500 times to clear the store of its 1000 jugs of milk limited to 2 per person.

      I don’t think anybody is going to buy wholesale quantities of bootleg food at only slightly better cost than normal. If this one store runs out, there’s all the competitors that still have normal priced whatever it is.

      Like this is like an elementary school math problem, this wont make a difference to the store if somebody buys 40 pies.
