#Grocery Stores

working at a grocery store should be enough to radicalize anyone

when I worked at loblaws, which is owned by one of the wealthiest families in canada, we were not permitted to put baby formula on the shelves. it had to go behind the customer service desk, because too many people were stealing it. being that I'm of the opinion that no one should have to pay to eat, I pretended not to know store policy and put it on the shelves anyway. the cheapest of baby formulas cost more than a quarter of what I made in an 8 hour shift. and yes, this is the same grocery chain that pays minimum wage to the majority of their workers, and student wage to workers under 18.

I saw someone banned from the store for attempting to shoplift diapers, another for taking bread. you know the age old "would you steal a loaf of bread to feed your family?"? yeah, a grocery chain owned by a billionaire family will ban you for that. and yes, this is the same grocery chain that admitted to a price fixing scheme based around the cost of bread.

the store manager instructed us to keep an eye out for people who "looked homeless", and to watch them while they were in the store to ensure that they didn't steal anything. and yes, this is the same grocery chain that denied drivers overtime wages unless they worked over 60 hours a week.

and we were unionized! imagine how they would have treated us if we weren't! and yes, this is the same grocery chain that blamed product theft on their workers.

basically, seeing the way that grocery stores underpay workers while boosting their prices and having over the top policies to prevent people from accessing basic human necessities should be enough to make anyone despise capitalism.

A few week ago I had a memorable louigan dream. Logan invited Louise to an Elton John concert as "friends." They both were in denial that A. they were in love and B. the other person might love them back. However, after a fire started at the venue due to faulty lights, Logan managed to save Louise from being crushed by the crowd and Louise managed to save Logan from falling lights. As they left after everything calmed down, Louise was basically like, "I nearly die on a daily basis but that was the first time I cared beyond mere self-preservation. I love you, you fucking walnut." To which Logan sputtered and then eventually reciprocated. I remember, in the dream, it ended with them walking out of the trashed venue with the firefighters and cops everywhere, smoking cigarettes. They kissed with the light of the fire still behind them. Then I woke up.

Usually my dreams aren't so cinematic or narrative, so that was nice.

As Canadians battle sky-high grocery prices and a soaring cost of living, the Government of Canada is working on an action plan to stabilize rising food costs. In a press conference on Thursday afternoon, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, François-Philippe Champagne, shared that he met with five major Canadian grocery chains and domestic and international food processors to plan ways to decrease food prices. "The cost of groceries has risen drastically over the past years, and Canadians are struggling to put food on their tables," said Minister Champagne.

Biden blames everyone but himself for the high prices. Now it's grocery stores.

Biden blames everyone but himself for the high prices. Now it’s grocery stores. At a dinner in South Carolina, Biden again turned around and blamed another group for high prices. The grocery stores. So now will we see the DOJ send out the FBI to arrest store owners for his bad policies? He keeps on saying how inflation is coming down. Here’s a comparison. first. Inflation hits 10% then comes down…
