I LOVE purchasing bleach in hugh quantities because people get so worried. I have two fun stories.
Last year, when we filled our pool, I picked up my sister and went to my local grocery store. I purchased about 40 gallons of bleach. When we were in the check out lane, I turned to my sister and said, "do you think this is enough to clean the blood out of the entire room"? BUHAHAHAHA
Then, this year when we opened, Wal-Greens had bleach on sale for $.79 per gallon. I went in with all six kids and told them all to grab a couple bottles. We wiped out the shelf. A couple days later when I figured they had restocked, I went in again and told them I would like everything on the shelf. The checkout girl said, "oh, I remember you, my manager told me to get him if you came back". THe manager was clearly uncomfortable and asked, "um, it's probably non of my business, but I really would like to know why someone would need so much bleach". I told him about the BBB method. He was impressed and asked so many questions. He also told me to watch his sign for more bleach sales. There you have it!
PS, I too love hanging out at the pool store. A few times, I have witnessed customers inside at their wits end with their pools. I wait outside for sad customers and hand them a piece of paper with this website on it. If I could get one person to make the switch, it will be worth it. Wish someone would have done it for me 5 years ago.
