Also I got a yt ad for some scam my project funded by Elon Musk and Bill Gates where Canadians invest $250 and get regular cheques for $1000. It’s a pyramid scheme or something. But no way to report

flesh dance posted:Got a bottle of febreeze to freshen up furniture before friends came to stay (we have pets and even though everything is tidy I worry about it). I sat my cloth grocery bags down on the couch and came back a minute later to find the entire loving bottle leaking into the cushion. I looked at the thing and you barely have to nudge it for the enire spray element to come off, what the everloving gently caress there are NO THREADS holding it in place. It ruined half a pack of toilet paper and an entire box of coffee filters Email them- I send emails anytime I’m unhappy now.

The last couple years I’ve definitely noticed a conditioning of customers to not expect value for their money. It feels a lot like the old warnings and criticisms about Communism that Capitalism made

This used to be a basic government service. I bet a lot of people would view getting something important with distrust because of Capitalism-poisoning and could not imagine a government service that made life better

ThinkTank posted:It's the same in Canada and no one can really explain why. Half your benefits are insurance coverage for dental care. The government just announced some quasi nationalized dental care plan that will see low income families get a portion of it covered if they don't already have insurance, but the opposition will likely instantly scrap that when they're inevitably elected in a couple years. No lie, Liberals propped up by an NDP alliance is really awesome and it’s good to see things like Dental and Daycare becoming real issues

Canadian specific, but Loblaws aka Superstore used to make really good in-house sour cream glaze and chocolate glaze doughnuts, sold in plastic containers (as opposed to their other ones, which are not as good and in cardboard boxes). They stopped selling them last year and replaced them with some shittier versions by a brand called “Donut Time”. It sucks and I emailed them to complain but they would not accept it because I didn’t have an item number for the doughnuts they stopped selling.

EBay making their Global Shipping Program nearly required blows. A seller broke down for me what it looks like from his end and I told him what I would have to pay and it’s ridiculous. I really appreciate the sellers (always from the UK?) who offer $3 CAD shipping.

I was inspired by this thread and complained to the Customer Service then Manager at Superstore about how their cashiers no longer pack groceries following an incident my wife had. The manager told me I was wrong and they were, that now they scan ALL the items before bagging, however customers start bagging items because they don’t want to hold up other customers. I wasn’t happy and told her so. She said wasn’t receptive so I complained to corporate.

I heard back from Superstore. They did the usual apology then said this:quote:In an effort to provide our customers with a more efficient checkout experience, we introduced the Bag-Your-Own program. They went on to say that any unoccupied staff could help those in need, which isn’t a thing because they have the bare minimum minus one at the front, and they haven’t done anything to keep food prices down anyway. I think I may pass it along to the media.

The 17 year old cashier is way faster at packing things than I am as they scan the items and then I just put the bags in my cart and go. It’s a convenience that the store used to provide and now expects the customer to do because they’re gradually training their customers to not expect good things

Diet Poison posted:When I shopped at Co-op in like 2018 they still had actual grocery baggers. And I stopped shopping there because the employees went on strike and I don't cross picket lines, but a side effect of that was I realized it was just as easy to get to Superstore on the same bus, and poo poo was cheaper there, and then I moved within walking distance of Superstore. I wonder if Co-op still has baggers, post-pandemic. Those guys are actually unionized so I don't think it'd be easy for management to just cut those jobs out. They only stopped doing it a few weeks ago here

The Dorito-like chips that have the super hot flavours like Ghost Pepper that my store only sometimes has have a worse texture but Bette flavour. Would recommend whatever brand it is.

Lol I remember when they had the gold and silver box set releases of Star Wars that came with George Lucas interviews. Even as kids my friends and I picked up on the fact that when talking about positive aspects of the film he always took credit and when talking about negative he always said stuff like “… but they couldn’t do it…”

I remember the day at the grocery store when I found two carts filled with Campbell’s Chunky soups that had really good dates on for a ridiculous amount off. I was really confused until I got to the aisle and saw the section with new, smaller cans for the same price as the old one. They wanted those things out fast before customers noticed!
