★★★
As a kid, I remember the excitement when Loblaws bought the empty lot that now has Superstore. Each week we’d get more and more excited as we’d watch it’s progress, as up until that point the only places to buy groceries was Costco, Extra Foods and Safeway. They even built a gas bar which featured cheaper gas if you bough groceries there! For many years things were easy to find and prices that made Costco’s bulk buying not even worth it. People who got jobs for Loblaws meant they had gotten it made! Then, about 10 years ago, they rearranged the store for marketing purposes, making it impossible to duck in and out for an item, without searching the entire store to figure out where they’ve moved it to this time! I ended up working night shifts here for 3 months,only to find out that the model for employment had also changed, they pay just beneath minimum wage, even now, as their union has a locked in agreement which disregards BC minimum wage laws.
They push out people who have been working there for years with enticing buyouts so they can justify paying their new workers nothing. Remember that this is why the items you’re buying are so cheap, and why sometimes the items are damaged etc, as people aren’t paid enough to care. I love the people I know that work here but it is unfair that they are treated so poorly.
