I don't know about meat, but produce turns over every couple days in most grocery stores, and if the trucks don't show up they go bare. Most grocery stores keep most of their produce out on the floor, not in the backroom like they used to.

Ahh, the joys of just in time shipping.

   

The last few days I have heard multiple stories from customers about this store and that one being out completely of things like bacon, deli meat, etc etc. At least the Safeway apparently had signage limiting customers to no more than 3 of any single dairy item though I'm not sure about other grocery items.

Of course there have been people who have observed others buying unreasonable quantities of some things. Now, if they were buying not only for themselves but also for family or neighbours then fine, but going over-the-top freaking hoarding is another thing. Shame on the people buying more of perishable items especially, than they could possibly use and I can't help but wonder if some of it will end up being thrown away when someone else could have used it.

   

What's worse is the convenience store owners that buy up everything on sale and then sell it back in their own stores for a hell of a lot more. My main grocery store started to tighten quantities and limits several years back because of this.

The local store had beefshort ribs for $27 kg today. Bought som last Sunday they were $11 kg at Superstore in the next town.

When quoting inflation 145 is now referred to as 20.

Hope to God the CRA doesn't adopt this new math!

   

So we went to Safeway earlier this afternoon to pick up a few things we needed and there was plenty of almost everything. There were a few bare spots on shelves here and there for this and that but nothing too critical. I was glad to see that they did have signage in many places throughout the store limiting quantities but certainly not unreasonable limits.

   

Coming soon to empty shelves near you

   

And Quebec won't share a single penny of their profit with the rest of the country.

   

You wanna play dirty!!!

18 billion in 2020 to subsidize oil
1.8 million for 2 years in maple sugar subsidies

   

You're just jealous because O&G finally learned to play the same game as well as you guys do.

   

Now you just need to learn how not to pollute as well as we do.

   

You guys are polluting quite nicely on your own, given that Quebec's turned into one of the hottest selling markets on the entire continent for gas-guzzler pickup trucks & SUVs. Not to mention the annual untreated sewage shit-dump from Montreal into the St. Lawrence - you folks really need to name that one as Denis Coderre Day in honour of the originator of the policy. And it wasn't Alberta that put all the selenium & mercury into the river that gave cancer to all the Beluga whales either.
