Is anyone else boycotting Loblaws? I don’t have many alternatives, but I’m doing my best to take my business elsewhere.

Is there a good source to learn about this (scope, list of stores, etc)

It’s so bloody stupid that a Loblaws owned grocery store gets to keep the name of Independent. Why do we tolerate this dystopian double-speak?

Anyways boycotting isn’t viable for me so “shrinkage” will have to do.

There are similar posts on other subs, but this is from 3 days ago on the same sub.

I haven’t shopped there in years and have no plan to. I used to work for them and detest spending any more time in their stores.

I’d love to but I live in a small town with only 2 grocery stores. No Frills and Metro. I have to drive 30 minutes to another town if I want to shop somewhere else. They’re both expensive so I usually end up going to both and looking for sales.

I have doubts that this boycott will actually make a difference. The world is fucked and controlled by the rich. The only way things will ever change is if the working class band together and force change. But we’re all too busy arguing amongst eachother about meaningless shit to do that.

You’re not in a good position to boycott for sure, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t many others who are. I think we can agree that the working class banding together is important. Let’s hope something positive comes of this

I’m not convinced the boycott will make a difference, but it’s pretty easy for me to shop somewhere else, so I’ll give it a shot. If I had to drive 30 minutes, there’s no way I’d do it.

So far so good… For me, Shoppers is harder to avoid than Loblaws or No Frills, but we’ll see how it goes.
