    It’s expensive to pay first world workers with modern worker rights and work safety regulations in Canada … and heaven forbid if they are unionized workers.

    It’s cheaper to export the raw materials to a country with cheap labor, few or no worker laws and lax safety regulations … and definitely no unionized labor.

    The government wants to build the nation … by allowing companies to skirt as many laws as possible to maximize profits and build the nation’s businesses and corporations in the vain hope that these companies will actually share their profits and benefits.

    $40 for a cheap meal delivered to my door ready to eat … made by someone who doesn’t like their job, made with the cheapest ingredients, in a questionable kitchen, by a worker I trust follows proper hygiene, processed by a series of people who will take care of my food to be handed off to some guy who I trust will take care of my food as it travels to my house with everyone being paid as minimally as possible so that several companies can squeeze as much profit out of the transaction as possible.

    Or I just take a few hours every weekend to make a ton of good food to eat for the entire week.
















  • Which now renders their site useless … I’ll go on your site to look up basic info … then go to your store to get what I want and even visit some other store or service that could give me the same product.

    It’s a disincentive to want to use their site in the future.

    I’ve stopped using several store websites because of this. Then when I want an actual product … I’ll call the store and ask them to look for the product for me. If they have it great, if they don’t, I’ll look for it elsewhere or figure out some other solution for myself that doesn’t involve any of their dumb websites.

    I’m regressing from the internet and use people contact more and more because of this stupidity. I’m going back to the way I did things in the 90s and early 2000s where I would just use their store flyer as a guide, call the local store to ask for something and then go look for it myself because the online services today are so intrusive and needlessly complicated that its faster and more useful to not go online.
