Good. The problem falls at the hands of the companies making billions of dollars of excess profits, not on the individuals saving a tens or hundreds of dollars.

Yeah...until the companies making billions of dollars put blockers at the entrances that can't fit a cart, and people checking receipts at the exit, just like what they did in Canada. Then everyone gets to be treated like a thief.

Where in canada? Cause all the major chains don't check your bags or cart other than Costco..

I believe they were checking receipts in Toronto. But all the big chain grocery stores like Zerhs around me have all put in barriers at the front door.

Neat. Thanks for the info. Nothing like that (yet) in alberta except maybe more people watching self checkout

How do you get shopping to the car?

[-] Bonehead@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

You have to go through the exit that you can only get to by going through a cashier station.
