Big retailers pushed self-checkout. Laid-off staff. Jacked up prices. Now *shocked* that people are stealing! "Carrot trick"= input the code for carrots when buying grapes. Oh the humanity! Poor in territory now. cbc.ca/news/business/self-chec

@citynews "But we're definately not gouging grocery shoppers".

Look, I get that shareholders of have to get their sandwich too - dividends or share price returns have to keep pace at least with inflation otherwise why would anyone invest?

But the optics are really poor guys. My salary isn't keeping pace with inflation. Yet all my bills are outpacing .

So the say they're not .. but the experts say that's horseshit: open.spotify.com/episode/3c6CD

Galen, would like you to believe him now because?

Profits should be struggling too, since the people providing those profits are struggling.

claim they aren't taking advantage of and people's suffering — but the numbers tell us a different story.

A Toronto Star investigation showed that the profit margins of Canada’s biggest grocery chains are growing — that’s the gap between the amount of money they’re making and their costs. Meaning that grocery companies are increasing prices faster than their costs are rising.

this is that bread price fixing thing all over again

the lack of competition and oversight in leads to consumers getting exploited. corporates are driven to increase profit at the expense of any externalized cost, why should we believe otherwise when they have been bad actors recently

profit margins expanded during covid while sales have decreased: i.e.: they have been profiting from ""

i look forward to getting a $100 gift card 5 years from now in compensation

maybe i'll buy a couple chicken breasts with it
