I wish I could have continued the boycott but I spent like 30% more on groceries when I was avoiding Loblaws properties and it was not sustainable. What's the solution when every store is gouging?

I got a membership to my local co-op last month. Wish I would have done it sooner
This is awesome...But we meed to get even more people to boycott them so they get negative sales figures
For negative you need them to start lifting
I meant negative sales increase, rather than actual profit losses. Becaiae they are meaauring if they made more profit than last quarter, even at zero increase they are making a ton of profit. But yeah lifting seems like the next stage
GOOD!
KEEP AT IT GUYS! πͺ
Their sales are as soft as their potatoes and onions, which is why I don't shop there anymore.
If the veggies aren't even fresh the meat is going to be awful too.
How do potatoes they sell go bad in less than a week when the Metro ones last me months?
The boycott did certainly have an effect whether business analyst Wong or anyone at Loblaws wants to admit it or not. They missed their targets.
I'm not going to buy anything from Shoppers, T&T, Loblaws or NoFrills anymore for as long as I can.
Got a relative who's worked at a local Loblaws warehouse/distribution center for decades - he said within days of the boycott starting, their orders from stores dropped dramatically and they were sending people home and scaling back shifts. Comparatively speaking they used to be so busy that basically anyone could opt for overtime whenever they wanted it. It was great to hear that from the inside and validate what murmur was in the media about it back then.
