Stores need to set limits

On how much Lysol,how much toilet paper,how many flu meds a person can buy. The hoarders and resellers need to be controlled.
All of us need this stuff. Other people should be considered too.
People who do not care and have that disgusting I got mine fuck everyone else need to be shamed and controlled.

people dragging along family members to get around the limits.

And of the Costco shoppers, how many of them are buying for other households? Not everybody finds it advantageous to pay for an annual membership, and Costco stores are far fewer in number than supermarkets, thus, on average, they are farther away from most people than a grocery store.

NO RETURNS!

You're not "renting" stuff, depriving others from buying what they need only to stick them in your roach and rat infested house then come back crying "I don't need them anymoooooooooooooooore!"
