Got called out by a cashier for buying all discounted meat at once

At the Kroger in Nashville last Thursday, the lady at the register said "you know that's about 4 family's worth right there" and I just said "yeah, its for my freezer" but she kept staring at me like I was hoarding it. Has anyone else had a stranger judge them for buying in bulk?

Did you catch that segment on NPR about how bulk buying actually reduces food waste? I heard some grocery chains are starting to encourage it for that reason. That cashier probably just had a bad day or something.

Yeah that NPR segment makes a good point. I buy bulk meat at my local Walmart all the time and freeze it, saves me trips and keeps my bill lower. Had a guy at the deli counter once give me the same side-eye for grabbing four packs of chicken thighs, but hey, thats just how I meal prep for the month.
