Went to a Loblaws run store today. Told the cashier that the bag of chips I bought were Canadian and didnt have the leaf icon on the label. Her response: "so what?". I explained I was just letting someone at the store know amd I completely understand it isnt her job. She responded sarcastically 'obviously'. I then asked who I should let know. She said 'if you really care go to costumer service'.

Needless to say, I will be going to Sobeys from now on. Fuck Loblaws.

I have to ask - how did you think a cashier can help with your request?

I’m not trying to be a jerk here, but cashiers are pretty low on the corporate ladder at Loblaws. If you knew it wasn’t their job, what were you looking for and what did you want in response?

I don’t shop at Loblaws. We’ve been shopping locally since the boycott last May.

But one of the things worth considering is what we expect of each other. Was one person’s rudeness reflective of everyone else who works somewhere?

There are so many way we can work together to make our communities and country stronger. Not shopping at Loblaws can be one of them. But for this reason? I’m sorry, it just seems strained and unusual.

Edited to remove racist euphemism.

That totem pole phrase needs to die as it’s racist and inaccurate. Some chiefs lower on the totem pole are actually higher ranking.
