Why ration eggs? Just raise the prices up and the market will self-correct.

What's stopping people from going to multiple grocery stores to purchase eggs?

[Gaffer]

They will be subsidizing eggs on EBT now I guess.

The grocery store isn’t rationing eggs because they’re trying to be nice to people. They don’t want to antagonize their loyal customers by having them show up to empty shelves.

Because they don't want to lose their customer base over a temporary shortage.

If they make eggs too expensive instead of limiting purchases so that everyone can still do their shopping in the store, knowing that they can also get their dozen eggs, then the people will move to another store, where they can fill their entire shopping list for that week.
