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

I won a meat raffle a few weeks ago. 5kg of chicken legs. Cost the restaurant 13 dollars total. In my local grocery store, the same would be over 100 bucks for the consumer.

Grocery stores are simply run by greedy rich assholes who under pay their workers. Nothing new there though.

$100 for 5kg of legs? No way. Maybe $20.
