Stores Limiting Sales Of Certain Products

Concerns about the coronovirus are having an impact all across stores in North Alabama.

Concerns about the coronavirus are having an impact in supermarkets across north alabama.

Many now are limiting how much you can buy of certain products.

The stores say that's because customers are buying in bulk and drastically limiting supplies.

Waay 31's ashley carter spoke with shoppers.

They can't believe supermarkets are having to take these measures.

"i wasn't allowed to bring my camera inside this store to film, but customers said whenever they were shopping and walking down some of the aisles, they noticed this sign.

It says they are limiting the amount of water, cold and flu medicine and sanitation products to five per customer.

Those customers told me they believe that limit is fair and that kroger is doing a good thing."

<pkg brenity chandler told me she shops at kroger at least once a week.

When she came to the store monday and walked by the aisle where hand sanitizers and cleaning wipes would be....she noticed it was pretty much empty brenity chandler, shops at kroger: "it was very limited, it wasn't very much there."

Chandler says she discovered kroger issued the limit after trying to buy sanitation wipes online.

She says she knows a lot of people who have been trying to buy water and sanitation wipes in bulk as more coronavirus cases are being reported.

She thinks it's a good thing kroger is limiting the amount of water...sanitatio n products and cold and flu medicine customers can now buy brenity chandler, shops at kroger: "people probably buy like 10-20 of them, of the sanitizers and the waters and not even thinking of other people trying to get some.

Daniel watkins, shops at kroger: "it's kind of surprising here in north alabama cause you don't really hear about too many crazy viruses going around."

Daniel watkins was out buying water today when he noticed the sign.

He says he was shocked to see water was one of the items kroger had to limit daniel watkins, shops at kroger: "i understand i guess the lysol and stuff but the water kind of doesn't make as much sense."

Kroger has not said how long it is going to put a limit on customers brenity chandler, shops at kroger: "i've been seeing a lot of people just putting them in the buggies and not even caring what's left on the shelves and their is like nothing on the shelves and you want to help yourself too but you can't with other people trying to take everything for themself."
