Agreed. Loblaw(s) here in Canada 🇨🇦
* owns multiple chains (groceries / drug marts | oligarchy)
* made record profits during COVID-19 pandemic yet moaned when challenged on greed/shrinkflation (corporate greed / price gouging / algorithmic pricing)
* was fined $0.5B days ago over bread price-fixing scandal (has it's own Wikipedia entry)
My partner & I started sourcing our fruit/veg f. a local, independent market: better quality/lower price 👍️ Regardless, I'd pay a bit extra to avoid Loblaws 🤬
