“Why would a non-appropriated fund activity be affected?”
Good question. As I understand it the commissaries are run by a concessionaire and the only advantage is their tax exempt status. There should be no government budget involved. This looks like another community organizer attempt to use others to force a solution on the “enemy” (Congress, in this case.)
There is a 5% restock fee. Prices are as bad as regular grocery stores. The only better thing is the meat. But the prices are just as high as regular grocery stores. And they don’t do gas points! The few cents I spend in sales tax is offest by getting a $1.00 off per gallon on gas per month. Some times $2 dollars if we have a big project, we just buy gift cards which count as gas points and on some months they are double or 4 times the points at Kroger’s.
Commissaries are appropriated fund activities. They are not run by a concessionaire but are managed by the Defense Commissary Agency.
