Wish it was seeing more success where I work. Then again, I have batshit coworkers calling the boycott “Dumb”, that Loblaws “Is the cheapest place”, and think a successful boycott would “Cost jobs” (we’re fucking union no it won’t), so maybe it is being effective and I just hear the negativity from coworkers able to buy stock shares because of working here out of boredom rather than need

Lol. Out of curiosity, are you hearing this from management, or from staff on the floor?

If prices are so high that a store inspires a unified national boycott, jobs loss (if it happens) can actually be blamed directly on the prices!

Staff on floor. Who are also unionized. It’s like, shut up you elderly bag you clearly are not doing this because you have to and as such can afford the stock buy in program and not need to choose between eating and rent

At least some other coworkers are sane and agree with the boycott

Lol, loblaws is cheapest. Your coworkers need to check out other grocers. We have some Asian and Indian grocers, and prices on produce , and staple items (potatoes, rice, lentils, etc) is always half of what our Superstore charges.

I mean, that’s fine if you live in a place that has those kinds of amenities. In some places, Loblaws is cheapest.

Canada has many food deserts.
