    I would settle for, “stores should have baskets”. I assume people steal them because the store has the basket racks, but they are empty. Desperately foraging around the checkout lines like some kind of basket goblin yields nothing.

      I suspect they want people to use carts because they believe it will increase the number of products you buy

        unfortunately for them, it makes me buy less and it makes me more likely to choose somewhere else to shop

          Lol, it’s not like they care about customers anymore so it doesn’t even matter to boycott.

          They know they can just continue turning up prices on the sorry sons of bitches who only know how to goto the same grocery store they’ve been going to for the last decade or two.

            hell, I still go there because it’s close. the other option nearby is Loblaws, so fuck that. but yeah, they’ve got me bc I can bike over.

            now, the closest Canadian Tire? fuck that place. I can’t remember the last time I had a good experience in a Canadian Tire. it’s always fucking terrible. always. for so many reasons. I fucking hate that place. the last few times I’ve been in there I have verbally said that rather loudly a few times each visit. like when they play an ad for fucking potato chips over the PA. or when every fucking thing that I want to look at is behind a locked cage, and I can’t see the details of the item from outside of the cage. it’s like they want you to shop somewhere else
