There is no formula on our company’s shelves and this is why…
A lot of individuals that own corner/convenience stores are abusing the system. It’s not a bias or a guess – it’s a fact. I have personally seen it happen over and over again. Every single day that we get a shipment of formula in.
This is how it works….. a member that owns a shop will come in, buy the limit of 2. They will then handover their membership to someone else and that person will go into another line and buy 2 more. Now, this is when we get suspicious….. so what they do now is use another membership and buy 2 more, switch lines and buy more. They have multiple memberships all under different names and business accounts. The same 2 people will buy however many cans of formula that they possibly can with each membership. Now, take in the fact that god knows how many people are doing this in a single day….
I have brought this up to the bigwigs of the company and was told “As long as they’re not using the same membership card each time, then it’s ok”.
Yes, that was a direct quote from a higher up….
Now here’s the really really crap part of it all….. they are breaking the 2 packs of formula down to individual containers and selling them for roughly $50.00 apiece at their shops, we sell a 2 pack for around $24.99. I live in an area with quite a few corner stores, so I see our private brand of formula for sale at just about every one of them…….
