The Grocery Chain That Just Put A Nationwide Limit On Eggs Per Customer
Trader Joe's spokesperson Nakia Rohde issued a statement to KOIN, saying, "Due to ongoing issues with the supply of eggs, we are currently limiting egg purchases to one dozen per customer, per day, in all Trader Joe's stores across the country." Priced at around $5 per dozen, it's not surprising if customers, in the face of the surging prices at other grocers, went to Trader Joe's to stock up. In fact, throughout years of food inflation, Trader Joe's has been a place of refuge by remaining significantly more affordable than other food stores, with data from Consumers' Checkbook placing its prices about 20% below average during the peak of inflation in 2022.
From the size of the parking lots to the privately labeled snacks, TJ's entire business model helps customers save. The nationwide egg limit is just its way of ensuring everyone can.

In a Reddit thread posted yesterday afternoon, one Trader Joe's shopper described a situation where he was asked by a fellow customer to help them get around the limit by purchasing an additional carton of eggs for them. He refused to take part, but the responses from other TJ's shoppers seem to show their general appreciation for the chain placing a limit on its eggs. "My TJ's instituted the one dozen per household this week. Where they'd normally be out by 8:30 am, I was there by 9:15 and there were still eggs left," said one customer. Another commented, "The egg shortage is all over. My TJ's here in Arizona is limited to one as well. I got one of the last free-range dozen. There [were] maybe 10 total egg cartons, including the half dozen. I was happy they hadn't marked the prices up."
Earlier in the week, many shoppers reported finding empty shelves where the eggs would normally be at their local TJ's stores. Most reported their stores selling out of them completely within a couple of hours of the location opening its doors. By placing a limit on how many eggs each customer can buy in a single day, Trader Joe's is ensuring that every customer has an equal opportunity to get their fix of eggs at an affordable price. Now, if only Trader Joe's would open more stores in different locations.

RDDT DEADLINE ALERT: ROSEN, A LEADING LAW FIRM, Encourages Reddit, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important August 18 Deadline in Securities Class Action
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - August 11, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Reddit, Inc. (NYSE: RDDT) between October 29, 2024 and May 20, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important August 18, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased Reddit securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Reddit class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 18, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) changes in Google Search's algorithm and features like AI Overview were causing users to stop their query on Google search; (2) these algorithm changes were materially different than prior instances of reduced traffic to the Reddit website; (3) defendants were aware that the increase in the query term 'Reddit' on search engines was because users were getting the sought after answer from Google Search without having to go to Reddit, and not because they intended to visit Reddit; (4) this zero-click search reality was dramatically reducing traffic to Reddit in a manner Reddit was unable to overcome in the short term; and (5) defendants, therefore, lacked a reasonable basis for its outlook on user rates and advertising revenues. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Reddit class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ------------------------------- Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq. The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. 275 Madison Avenue, 40th Floor New York, NY 10016 Tel: (212) 686-1060 Toll Free: (866) 767-3653 Fax: (212) 202-3827 [email protected] To view the source version of this press release, please visit

ChatGPT-5 Faces Backlash: Users Share Concerns About Shorter, Less Helpful Responses
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. OpenAI had the internet's attention when it announced GPT-5. Some users have taken to social platforms like Reddit to complain that the new model isn't where it should be — and you can't even go back to the old ones if you don't like the latest release. When you go to ChatGPT as a Plus user, you'll see a message that says, "ChatGPT now has our smartest, fastest, most useful model yet, with thinking built in — so you get the best answer, every time." Is that really the case? If the internet is to be believed, maybe not so much. What users don't like about GPT-5 GPT5 is horrible from r/ChatGPT There's actually a thread on Reddit titled "GPT-5 is horrible" with 4,600 upvotes and 1,700 comments. In the head, the user said, "Short replies that are insufficient, more obnoxious ai stylized talking, less 'personality' and way less prompts allowed with plus users hitting limits in an hour… and we don't have the option to just use other models." Another Reddit user called headwaterscarto writes that "I like how the demo they were like - 'if it gets something wrong no worries, just ask again. I'm actually going to run 3 prompts at once and pick my favorite' like how is that better???? I'm feel like i'm taking crazy pills." Perhaps a new model that isn't as good as the older ones would be more acceptable if you could still access 4o and the rest. But you can't. For ChatGPT Plus users, who are now limited to 200 messages per week in GPT-5, this is a significant issue. That's some scathing feedback for Sam Altman and company, especially after the presentation hyped the release as a true game-changer. Another user in the comments section agreed: "Agreed. Answers are shorter and, so far, not any better than previous models. Combine that with more restrictive usage, and it feels like a downgrade branded as the new hotness." Reddit user RunYouWolves said, "It's like my chatGPT suffered a severe brain injury and forgot how to read. It is atrocious now," which is harsh, but it does describe some of the issues with the way the new model delivers answers. If you're in the camp that's unhappy about GPT-5, there are plenty of ChatGPT alternatives making waves with their own AI models. Personally, I like Google Gemini for parts of my workflow, but there are options, which is always a good thing. Some people love GPT-5 There are reasons to be upset about ChatGPT-5, as outlined by the Reddit users above. But it's easy to get caught up in the idea that Reddit's opinions represent the entire internet. Many ChatGPT power users appreciate the capabilities of GPT-5 and what it has to offer. Just read out the detailed breakdown on the differences between GPT-5 and GPT-4 and you'll get an idea of how much new stuff is there. It's a far more capable version overall, despite some of the flaws. Our AI editor Alex Hughes said, "GPT-5 is clearly a major upgrade to GPT-4," and I think even the most disgruntled users would agree. One user in the negative Reddit thread said, "Ask any gamer, nothing works on patch day." Perhaps this is just a launch issue, and GPT-5 will improve its tone and responsiveness to users over time. Or maybe that's how it's meant to be. Only time will tell. With all that said, I also think it's essential that OpenAI considers the feedback. Perhaps the company can increase the limits or bring back 4o for Plus users. Whether it will do any of these to make the angry users happy remains to be seen, but for now, the internet is clearly split on what GPT-5 brings to the table.
