He is under NO obligation to reveal what he is going to use any product for. I have been denied the sale price on milk before, because I would buy 12 gallons at a time when it was on sale. This is a two week supply in my house. I used to work for a wholesaler and Kroger sells milk at a loss. Is it fair to deny me? NO
Kroger was wrong in trying to deny Todd the sale. I believe this was the decision of the individual store pointed directly at you. They probably knew who you were.
To ease the minds of the bleeding hearts, most manufacturers offer deep discounts for their product to be featured in an ad. You will rarely see a Pepsi and Coke advertised in the same weekly ad. Kroger most likely broke even or made money on the Pepsi. The store managers don't understand that the more product they sell, the deeper the discount.

One more thought...
I regularly purchase multiple turkeys at Thanksgiving to donate to my church. I watch the ads and purchase the best deal. Last year that "Deal" was from Aldi. Aldi told me they would lose money, but actually ordered more product in to take care of me, the customer. They did have a posted limit of 2, but allowed me to purchase 20. I have done this for softball concessions and other church events as well with different retailers. If I were Todd, where would I do my regular shopping going forward?

Kroger has no problem beating up their vendors and asking for free product or steep discounts when they want to do something. They are no victim here.

I'm on your side Todd! Kroger was wrong.

If Kroger didn't post a limit, they should have honored it, no questions asked. That's just good business. I'd be pissed, too. Do they make less money because you are reselling the product? No. Bad business decision, in my opinion.

Pepsi is still on sale at Kroger for $.79!!
However, today's weekly ad (Indiana Edition) does state on the front page "no sales to dealers" and they reserve the right to limit quantities.

Funny, that suddenly popped up in the Kroger ads! Wonder if there are signs in the stores, too?

I've seen it in the past. Just because it was not advertised in this case would make one erroneous in believing this case set a precedent.
