unfortunately, yes if its the same country. But you can get around this....you can get a B/K at a franchised store in the US (for ex. Hermes in Manhasset Long Island falls in that category. you can purchase quota bags there and it would have no impact on your 2 quota bags/year elsewhere in the US). Franchise stores only have access to what you’ve bought @ their location specifically.....What happens if you're on holiday and purchase a B/K whilst on vacation? Does that essentially use up one bag from your annual quota at your home store in the same country? Always wondered.![]()
