Thanks. Added my local independent grocer.
Isn't there a loblaw store literally called that?
It is called โYour Independent Grocerโ. So, pretty much.
That's so deceitful. Loblaw is also one of those cashiers must stand up or die places. When I worked there they banned water bottles at the tills because they looked unprofessional or so they claimed. At the time I attempted malicious compliance by bringing like 6 of the excepted store brand bottles but in hindsight I was just filling myself with micro plastics.
I can't think of any grocers in Canada that provides stools/chairs for their cashiers, have you seen one?
I've never actually verified it myself, but I recall some of the cashiers I worked with before talking about a competitor that had adjustable height tills with what was described as a horizontal fat metal tube bolted on one side of the worker compartment as a seat. I'm not sure how many things in that area that are still the same as back then, apart from the loblaws superstore which I know is still there.
