    So I went to Fry's this morning and bought a single beer but when I checked out at the register the cashier gave me shit for buying one. I then look at my receipt and it says craft beer single. It was 1.50 for a single and a six is 8.99. So the math adds up. So what's the issue of just buying a single? Anybody have this experience?

    I don't think most stores like breaking up sixers. However if it's offered, not sure why you got shit for it.

    I was talked to for buying the last case of Christmas Ale at Katy Specs.

    Its more like they have a bunch of singles to make a six pack. I didn't break a six. Sorry I didn't specify.

    The Krogers in Houston offer a mix six for $9.99 their beers are not individually priced. Local HEB has them individually priced, but want you to fill a six pack with them. Not sure if they would sell them individually, never tried it, might next time. I think they had their sculpin priced at $1.99 which was cheaper than the six pack

    Well the kicker is they are setup to sell singles because how else would the receipt say single?

    Good point, I know HEB prices and labels all of their separate because they have a good selection, from like 1.50 up to 5 a bottle, so I think they would sell them as singles, just never tried it. Can't be a law against it that I know of because some Specs sell singles. Go back every day and just buy a single if that same person is there, see if you can crack them :slight_smile:

    Did you use a credit card? I could see a small shop giving you a hard time for using a credit card on such a small purchase (though I don't agree with it).

    If a store ever gave me shit for buying something in a format they offer, I wouldn't go back.

    Just for more clarification Fry's is a grocery store. Its an offshoot of Kroger. I only bought a single because I hadn't had Left Hands Coffee Nitro Porter.

    I've bought a single at HEB for cooking purposes. No sweat, no interrogation.

    I've been rejected from buying a single at the 11th/Shepherd Kroger in Houston. They're there exclusively for build-your-6ers.
