I like the sentiment but this would hurt some of the poorest in suburban or rural communities who are forced to commute quite far. How about fines and penalties (and vehicle registration) that scales against some non-income-based net worth assessment?

Turn the inconvenience fees for the rich into a painful but real source of revenue.

I have to ask - how did you think a cashier can help with your request?

I’m not trying to be a jerk here, but cashiers are pretty low on the corporate ladder at Loblaws. If you knew it wasn’t their job, what were you looking for and what did you want in response?

I don’t shop at Loblaws. We’ve been shopping locally since the boycott last May.

But one of the things worth considering is what we expect of each other. Was one person’s rudeness reflective of everyone else who works somewhere?

There are so many way we can work together to make our communities and country stronger. Not shopping at Loblaws can be one of them. But for this reason? I’m sorry, it just seems strained and unusual.
