    Must be true if it was on Facebook.
    People using platforms like Facebook are responsible for most of the bad info out about the virus. I'm surprised how many so called intelligent people can be so gullible.

    unless YOU actually have seen the difference in prices, then do not believe all that you HEAR or READ.

    then too, if any company IS price gouging, you can report them to the attorney general's office or D.A.'s office. i do believe that it is not only a federal crime but also on the state level as well.

    i'd personally NOT suspect a major chain, either corporate or franchise owner to even THINK about gouging, but I WOULD suspect a small mom/pop place to do so, and if YOU actually see this or are a victim of this, then contact THAT state's Attorney general's office, or the DA's office, which ever titles name they go by in each state.

    $2 a bottle at 12 bottles a case. Heck $19.99 per case simply could be their normal price.....

    $5.99 in Illinois, limit 1 case.
    Look, PFJ has enough image issues without price gouging on water at a time like this. They're greedy, but not stupid.
     
    bzinger and D.Tibbitt Thank this.
