Canadian supermarkets overcharging customers by selling underweighted meat, according to CBC investigation.

Well, I could have told CBC that, needn’t have conducted an investigation.

The reason we stopped going to Chalo Freshco, part of the #Sobeys empire, was for this very reason. #bcpoli #RipOff

“The federal New Democrats want a price cap on grocery store staples if the Liberal government can't convince grocers to bring down the prices themselves.”
Yes! But more of it in other areas, and don’t wait for the Liberal plan to fail first. Also, break-up food monopolies.

Hey #Canadians! Tired of paying through the nose at #Loblaws?

if you haven't seen altgrocery.ca/ yet check it out.

Quite a few #Sobeys owned stores have snuck in there but there's also lots of co-ops and small greengrocers.

And greengrocer prices are, in my experience, roughly 1/2 to 1/5 the price of supermarkets.

Had my first grocery shop during #boycottLoblaws today. Ended up getting some stuff from the next worst grocer, #sobeys.

In the produce section there is a sign showing their "So-Local" branding along with the claim "Grown right here at home".

I would like to point out that EVERY SINGLE ITEM under that sign is IMPORTED from either "USA" or "USA or Mexico".

We live north of the USA, and very north of Mexico.

Not a single local item on the shelf. Not even one from this country. So-Local indeed.

Part of a produce cold case at at Sobeys Extra store in New Brunswick Canada. A sign above the display case says "So-Local" in the Sobeys characteristic green font. A faux-wooden badge proclaims: "Made right here at home". Of all the food items under that banner, not a single one of them is "from here". None are even from this country - they are all imports from either USA or Mexico, as displayed on each and every individual label.

“Canada’s grocery market is so monopolistic that “voting with your dollars” (in the minister’s phrase) is increasingly a misnomer — the choice to be gouged by one giant conglomerate or another when you try to buy milk or bread not being much of a choice at all.”

Who is in charge of consumer refuse "recycling" in many parts of #canada, including my town in #NewBrunswick?

Why it's none other than executives from many of the enormous conglomerates that create & distribute all the plastic packaging in the first place!

No matter how many times I email them asking, they will not reveal what they're doing with all that collected plastic they're going to "recycle".

We already know that the vast majority of plastic to be recycled never is: it finds its way to places like #india:

But at the same time #cbc is perfectly happy to pretend along with the "big lie" they've uncovered by refusing to use any critical thinking when covering local implementations of these projects:

Sure, *our* landfill may have less shit in it, but it had to go *somewhere*, and that somewhere is NOT back into "the circular economy". It goes to pollute some distant shore, to affect some distant population, to ruin the lives of others. It's RACISM.

Pats on the back and kudos all around to us *resourceful #Canadians*.

I decided to try the Voila delivery service. I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to place my order. First, it wouldn't let me register. Then the validation code they sent didn't work. I finally decided to phone a real person, and after being on hold for a couple of minutes their phone system cut me off.
So, finally, I tried using their link to their customer care email. I got this back.

When I was a front end cashier at Sobeys in 1999/2000, I wasn’t allowed to wear nail polish. I had to wear all-white sneakers with no visible brand name, something that is almost impossible to find. I had to wear the same ugly smock over white or nude pantyhose every day. I rebelled by wearing PVC miniskirts, rude tshirts, and kinky underwear under my smock.

I wasn’t allowed to ever sit down on the job, even when I was very unwell. I wasnt given enough time on my lunch break to go to the bathroom and eat my lunch. I wasn’t allowed to drink water while working, and all of the cashiers were frequently sick because whenever anyone entered or exited the store in winter, it was so cold that we could all see our breath. Pneumonia and bronchitis were frequent, and I had to go to emergency at the hospital several times because of asthma attacks triggered by the cold air.

On NYE 1999, on the cusp of what everyone thought would be Armageddon because of the Y2K bug, none of the cashiers were given any breaks during their shift. The excuse was that there were too many customers for us to take a break. The line for the cash registers wrapped three times around the perimeter of the entire store, and it was a huge store. All of the customers were in foul moods and snapping at us. Grocery store rage is as real as road rage.

I had a bad repetitive stress issue with my wrists from keying things into the cash register. I could barely grasp things, but not a single customer ever thought to pick up their own heavy items, like frozen turkeys, bags of dogfood, or flats of canned goods or bottled water. While I wasn’t on the clock, I wore a sling.

I didn’t make enough money at this job to wash my laundry and had to wash my clothes in the shower every day after work. I didn’t make enough money to eat decent food and had to buy whatever wasn’t too rotten in the discount section.

I have never worked so hard and been treated so poorly as I have at any minimum wage job.

It isn’t acceptable to treat people so poorly, but it is legal.

Just because something is legal doesn’t mean it is ethical. Break unethical laws. Do crime. And if you see someone steal food, no, you didn’t.
