Trader Joe’s is now limiting customers to purchasing one dozen eggs per day. This daily buying limit will apply to all of the store’s nearly 600 locations nationwide. “Due to ongoing issues with the supply of eggs, we are currently limiting egg purchases to one dozen per customer, per day,” a spokesperson said. While Kroger is not enacting a nationwide egg policy, some of their locations have begun imposing a two-dozen daily limit. The surge in egg prices is largely attributed to the spread of avian flu in farms across the nation.
But some people just want more. The owner of Luna Park Café in Seattle was shocked to learn thieves took 540 eggs from the restaurant. The rising egg shortage, caused by bird flu, has driven up prices and triggered more heists. With supply dwindling, customers face restrictions and empty shelves
