Susan Dennison recently had an unsettling experience at her local grocery store, a Loblaw-owned Fortinos in Burlington, Ont.

Just as she was leaving, the wheels on her shopping cart locked up β€” making it immobile.

She said a store employee rushed over and demanded to see her receipt.

"I felt like I was ambushed," said Dennison, who scrambled to find her bill. "She's badgering me, like, 'Is it in your wallet? Is it in your pocket?'"

She said she was finally cleared when the employee found the receipt β€” in one of her shopping bags.

I say steal more from these pricks. They've been gauging us all since covid started for no reason other than greed.

Fuck em.

Remember: If you see someone stealing food, no you didn't.

This isn't how we solve this problem.

(Don't do the crime if you can't do the crime, as they say)

Yes. Loblaws look like dicks all the time. But when we steal from them, it's still a reflection on ourselves and not them. We're better than looters coat-tailing a protest to get a new TV.

I disagree. We're merely stealing back what they're stealing from us.
