"Organized retail crime across the entire industry is a serious issue, and has only gotten worse," said spokesperson Catherine Thomas. She did not provide data to back up the claim.

Riiiight

Is she talking about how Loblaws is essentially an organized crime outfit?

[–] Someone@lemmy.ca 8 points 8 months ago

The grocery cartel.

[–] RickyWars@lemmy.ca 26 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes this statement was quite frankly hilarious. I'm certain that the mafia has moved onto stealing bread for black-market redistribution. Or maybe they themselves can no longer afford to shop at Lowblaws.

You know times are tough when even the mafia isn't recession proof.

"You can trust us to know this," she went on to say. "We're the criminals, after all!"

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Nah, she's being truthful. The retail stores have illegally collaborated in secret to raise prices to criminal levels, which is a serious issue.
