My wife and I both smoke. Yes, I know... not smart but hey it is our only vice. Anyway, I was very surpirsed when I went to the cigarette counter on my last two visits and was told that I had to pay for my cartons there and could no longer just put them in my cart and pay for them along with the rest of my purchases. I pay with Credit Card so using it twice is a bit of a pain in the butt.
Anyway, so what I do now is go to the check out and grab 20 single packs of cigarettes out of thier display. It is inconvenient for me, for the people behind me and for the staff that now have to restock the display. I fully understand the need for security and for their desire for not getting ripped off but why are they worried with all their security they have there and that a regular customer needs to be inconvenienced in this way.
I guess we'll just quit smolking then. Problem solved. Seriously, could the onwership please explain this "New Rule" to me? It is damned inconvenient.
Thanks and take care,
Rick
