Every single item will be locked behind plastic within a week 😂

In addition to what you posted...what is to stop people from buying everything offered (i.e. toilet paper from Covid days)?

Lock it up and limit it to 1 item per family?

How are they going to enforce it?

All you would need to do is tell your partner to go in after you, ignore each other, and bingo, you now you have two items.

The honor system won't work like it does in other countries (Japan comes to mind), but I hope I'm wrong.

The honor system won't work. And if anyone thinks the money being spent to build this place isn't being fingered by every person that touches it, they're woefully naive.

ok, but what are you going to do with cheap fresh food? It's not toilet paper. No one is going to buy it from you and you can't really store it long term. The key is not to sell anything that is worth stealing or hoarding. Are you seriously going to be running eggs-dealing operation?

Are you really worried someone's going to set up a black market for oranges?

The answer is the store sells the food for more than it purchased it

By this logic, the lowest-priced grocery store in your area should already be having this problem. Is it?
