Are a lot of stores limiting the number of certain items customers can buy?

Yes, some stores are now implementing limits on how many of certain items customers can buy in order to prevent hoarding. This is especially true of products that are popular and have an limited availability, such as clothes, shoes, and electronics. Other stores are limiting how much cash a customer can use to purchase items as a way of reducing the risks associated with large transactions. In some cases, stores may even require a photo ID in order to purchase certain items.
