The land of the free and the home of limited food supplies
Thursday, April 24th, 2008The two biggest U.S. warehouse retail chains are limiting how much rice customers can buy because of what Sam’s Club, a division of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., called on Wednesday ”recent supply and demand trends.”…
Sam’s Club said it will limit customers to four bags at a time of imported jasmine, basmati and long grain white rice.
”At the present time, BJ’s Wholesale Club is not limiting the amount of rice purchases made by our members, but, due to the current market situation, that could change at any time,” spokeswoman Sharyn Frankel said in a statement.
We’re rationing food? In the US?
