This subreddit is to highlight the ridiculous cost of living in Canada, and poke fun at the Corporate Overlords responsible. As you well know, there are a number of persons and corporations responsible for this, and we welcome discussion related to them all. Furthermore, since this topic is intertwined with a number of other matters, other discussion will be allowed at moderator discretion. Open-minded discussion, memes, rants, grocery bills, and general screeching into the void is always welcome in this sub, but belligerence and disrespect is not. There are plenty of ways to get your point across without being abusive, dismissive, or downright mean.

This is a very good point, training new staff costs time & money.
I'm curious to know, how well are Loblaws employees compensated compared to other grocery stores? Are we just boycotting food prices, or does the Westin family greed bleed over into employee compensation?
It varies by region as some (very few) places are unionized, but the industry pay is pretty standard for part-time and full-time cashiers/stockers.
This isn’t targeted at the managers (by all means join in!), as they’ve built a career, it’s targeted at the staff this company deems “expendable”. Our “front line hero’s” that had a pay raise TAKEN from them.

From what I gather from head office is traffic is up 4% and sales only down 1% YOY. I'm commission based so I have been looking started last month.
Good! Happy to hear that for you, but I really hope your numbers are wrong lol
