I get it. I was just trying to figure out who to tell and was really taken aback by the defensive response. Ive run into a number of rude cashiers at this place as well, so Im venting somewhat.

My main concern is their high prices, poor quality, and general disregard for their customers. As the previous commenter pointed out, theyre setting up barriers everywhere to prevent shoplifting. One Loblaws place I go to has a grand total of two checkout stands left and only one cashier at a time. Theyre pushing self checkout hard which is just an excuse to downsize their staff. Meanwhile if you want to go to the bathroom you have to literally reenter the store because its past the barriers.

No other supermarket around here has these damn things and they arent pushing self checkout. Thats not to say places like Sobeys are ethical either. But at least they dont go out of their way to seem like they hate their own customers.

Oh for sure. But if both stores dont care and only one berates me for even asking about it, makes the decision of where to go easy.

Went to a Loblaws run store today. Told the cashier that the bag of chips I bought were Canadian and didnt have the leaf icon on the label. Her response: "so what?". I explained I was just letting someone at the store know amd I completely understand it isnt her job. She responded sarcastically 'obviously'. I then asked who I should let know. She said 'if you really care go to costumer service'.

Needless to say, I will be going to Sobeys from now on. Fuck Loblaws.

Bruh. People started boycotting US travel long before they targeted Canada directly. The simple fact is that now its a direct threat to an individual's personal safety. If you cant make a distinction between those things youre kinda fucked.

You should probably look up what prude means my guy.

This meme brought to you by a gen zer.

Everyone is cringe. This is just life.

Imma be honest with you. The Canada-US relationship is shattered. I have to seriously decide if I ever set foot in the US ever again. We can talk all we want about most Americans not wanting this, but it still happened. The fact that this is even a serious discussion tells volumes.

I dont know if this can ever be mended.

This is as good as a signal as it gets. Do not visit the US. If anyone can be whisked away with no consequence, its not worth the risk. Might as well be travelling to North Korea.

Boy wait until you hear about this thing called internet porn. Gonna blow your mind.

I wish there was a Canadian option for watching old school Trailer Park Boys, but I think Netflix has the monopoly on that right now.

This still seems wildly unlikely for so many reasons. Canada needs new trade partners and at this point some defense guarantees, but joining the EU is a long shot.

I honestly dont know if they really understood or took it seriously. Theyre really getting up there in age. Im just trying to make sure they at least get pictures of her from time to time.

Yes

I had to inform my grandparents they wont likely see their great granddaughter again because we do not want to risk the border.

I feel bad but at the same time, they voted for this.

Me too. Just got it recently. I thought it would be a gimmick and maybe it is. But I love it.

My war crimes finger is getting itchy.

But maybe?

Nobody wants bloodshed, but if the US brings it, we will make sure there is as much American blood spilled as possible.

Thats war. Nobody wants war, but if you bring it to our soil we will fight. That simple.

Im pretty sure Putin did shit.
