Yes they are not allowed to buy the other package. It's taken away from them with an apology. But it does hold up the line when you have people doing this with multiple items. It also means the person who came to that aisle a minute later, who saw nothing on the shelf, will miss out on getting that pack of TP
Imagine being that customer. You get there early because you know this is the new reality and you accept it. You get to the paper aisle and there's no TP on the shelves. "Le sigh" you think, and move along to the next thing.
Around 20 minutes later you get in line to check out. You see the person in line behind you with toilet paper. You ask "wow where'd you find that?" And they say "it was on the shelf, I just got it a minute ago, it was the only pack left!"
How did it appear 2 minutes ago when it wasn't there 20 minutes ago? Easy: 25 minutes ago, a customer ignored the signs and took two packs. One was refused at the register and the grocery clerk put it back on the shelf...just 15 minutes after you were there looking for one.
Rejecting the guidelines, rejecting signs, rejecting the fact that everyone ELSE is trying to do the right thing and to hell with them because you are a special snowflake..
that is WHY our toys get taken away from us. Because a few spoil it for everyone else.
