the crisis is these stores are stealing from us, lying to us and treating everyone like criminals.

take OUR food back... if you see someone taking taking food, no you didn't...

I don't give two flying fucks about Loblaws, Walmart, metro, Sobeys... whatever .. they are all criminals and should be fined to high hell.

It's like people don't realize these costs just come back into the prices that the customers pay.

The main crime organization is called Loblaws.

Same. After all the price fixing, and the state of capitalism at this point where all the money is up top, these whiners can just get fucked.

bingo. I live in Toronto and do all my grocery shopping in chinatown on spadina. it's cheaper, better quality, and i'm supporting local businesses. When I want a snack I go to loblaws and "shop" for it.

Remember kids, if you see someone stealing, no you didn't. Unless they are bourgeoisie fucks

That's been my rule. If after 2 swipes it doesn't scan, it's free

Sorry, Galen, what were those record profits again?

aramis87@fedia.io · 7 pts · 91d

Remember during the pandemic, when managers over-ordered, or product arrived out-of-season, stuff got spoiled, and all of that shrink was blamed on "shoplifting" because it was more palatable and profitable for management and the corpos to blame the customer and claim insurance money, rather than admit they'd made errors or there were flaws in the system that would force them to eat the cost?
