Reply To: Grocery that gets rid of all Chometz before Pesach

I appreciate everyone’s input here. Thank you.

Of course, there are those that held of the Mechira and many customers don’t mind buying Chometz that was sold. However, there are some Yidden that do mind buying Chometz that was sold.

The right thing for a store to do is to be transparent and let the “machmirim” know what was sold so that they should not end up buying what they don’t want to buy. If they would at least do that, they would be being respectful and fair to the “machmirim” and they would deserve the support of the “machmirim”. If they choose not to be considerate of the “machmirim”, they are being unfair to the “machmirim” as well as choosing to allow the “machmirim” to take their business elsewhere. Maybe they think that the business of the “machmirim” is not significant enough to make a difference to them. If that’s the case, the “machmirim” have no reason to continue their loyalty to the shop. If they don’t want the “machmirim”‘s business that’s their choice. The “machmirim” also have the option to choose where they want to shop. You only have a Mitzva to buy from a Yid if the Yid wants your business.

If I would know of a store that does cater to my needs, I would like to patronize that store. I think there could be such a store out there and that’s why I was asking to hear if anyone here knows of such a store.
