Good grief. I just tell my neighbors, hey, I gotta buy bottled water and paper towels. How many you want?
They just absolutely INSIST on paying me for the items! After all, I'm saving them a trip to the store!
Same thing with the idiotic scenarios at hardware stores....I have supplied neighbors with plungers, calking,
screwdrivers, specific-sized screws, hooks for the bathroom doors, etc., etc., etc. Since the MSC reimburses my expense on these purchases, my neighbors just give me the difference between the reimbursement and what I actually spent.
But I'm with OP -- your effective pay per shop is drastically cut if you cannot use the items you must purchase.

I was raised with the thought that you should always have water stored in the event of an emergency. I survived the 94' Northridge quake, where we were without electricity and water for over a week. I happily accept shops in which I can purchase bottled water and be reimbursed for it. My emergency closet is stocked full, thanks to shopping.

My scheduler did mention a work around (not use my shopper card and return at a different store)
