Lake Country鈥檚 Save On Foods general manager Paul Davidson said he feels awful that a couple was able to buy the store鈥檚 entire supply of meat products on March 13.

Taylor Born, a person who posted a video of the incident online, said the couple cut other grocery shoppers off as they took and bought two full shopping carts worth of meat all at once.

鈥淭his is definitely an act that we don鈥檛 condone at this store,鈥� said Davidson.

鈥淚 feel awful from this. What we always want to do is to provide product for all our customers.鈥�

Moving forward, Davidson said customers will only be able to buy a certain amount of products from each department in the store.
