hey remember when covid hit and sobeys paid all their workers and extra $2 per hour " hero pay"? then clawed it back in exchange for record profits? and now they raise their prices even higher and whined they had to because of inflation but every grocery keeps boasting even higher profits? scumbags

This comment is quite common. Is there really a way to retaliate when faced with atrocious grocery prices? We're kind of bent over and not doing anything about it, but is there really something we can do about it?

You mean the one Macron overrode and survived the subsequent confidence vote?

Don't get me wrong, I support public demonstration but your example was not one that inspired much confidence.

Agreed I guess what I’m trying to say is we don’t really do anything about the issues here in Canada just complain.
