Loblaws is out of control

A sub devoted to highlighting the ridiculous cost of living in Canada right now. We’d like to thank our corporate overlord Galen Weston Jr. of Loblaws for continually raising grocery prices so he can get a big fat bonus cheque every year while the rest of Canadians struggle to make ends meet.

Dynamic pricing is already here. They just don't frame it as such. Regular prices at the grocery stores are insanely high, and they just give everyone different discounts based on what they think you're willing to pay.

Some online stores will offer me discounts on random things at checkout and when I say no it will offer me more extreme discounts on the same products

It’s basically just random interval scheduling psychological reinforcement which is obviously super fucked up to perform at social scale
