This is too much!!! I'll drive to Plano just to laugh about it some more. And, have a what-a-burger but someone will have to buy for me. I've been paying too much for ammo recently.

Thanks. yes I did when I was heading to work. It's really the best time to shop there. That's when all the soccer moms drop the kids off at school and head there to pick up stuff before workout time at teh gym. Just don't tell the_busy_mom that's the reason I go. I tell her it's because by 8:45, they are plum out of ammo.
But why only 1 box per arm ?
Because I would buy 100 boxes if they'd let me because otherwise it would cost me $18.99 a box. there are places out there price gouging don't you know. "rlol"
Could I then say "Artifical Scarcity" ?
No, you cannot.
You speak yourself of 2nd hand knowledge so yes that is hearsay.
It's still 100% more than you have given us.
Its getting late and I want to catch the last James Bond movie on tonight.
I bet he's got lots of ammo.
I was trying to think of something witty and clever to say, but alas, I was outwitted by 'artificial scarcity' of thoughts. I will re-iterate what was said on this thread quite a few times. If you do your homework, and refuse to pay "gouged" prices, then you won't be a victim of price gouging. It is those un-informed shoppers out there who are willing to pay out the ying-yang that allow sellers the threshold by which they are gouging. This is America - where the free market reigns (or should reign, depending on which camp you are from). This whole bit about 'someone needing to do something' about price gouging is why we have things like ObamaCare, and Facebook paying no tax while getting a $459 million refund. Vote with your dollars and refuse to be a victim. Hey, that sounds like a governmental public service ad........ :txflag:

I'll buy! I will use a credit card. It will feel like it is free for about a month.
