This is why Galen West is a card-carrying member of the Parasite Class.

And yes, I confirmed the no-shipments, zero-stock with the store manager. 5 days and counting with no stock so far, when the sale started there was maybe 12-24 bottles for 128,000 residents in the city.

Isn't there an ongoing strike at Loblaws distribution centres? I legitimately can't find any news as to whether it ended, but I also can't find very much news on other strikes that I'm pretty sure did get resolved. Fuck Loblaws, and fuck Google's ever worsening search capabilities.

Sounds like a great time to issue a sale on products that you know you won't have to actually sell at the discounted price, and then blame it on the union.

Do stores do rain checks there if you ask for them?

I've seen it at some stores in the US in the past, but not something that would be advertised, just some people getting a rain check if they specifically ask for it.

Yes but it varies store to store. you could also submit a corporate complaint and hope they reply with a coupon of some sort...

Maybe they resolved it the same way they did a year ago: https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/layoff-notices-served-to-nearly-all-unionized-workers-at-calgary-loblaw-distribution-centre-union-1.6162044

Not sure about in this instance, but I usually find duck duck go is better than google now.

If they're so concerned about cost savings, they should consider firing Galen Weston. The amount of money wasted on paying him is astronomical. Pack his box and show him the door. He won't be missed by anybody.

Yeah, I could only find old articles about resolutions, or the more recent articles from a month ago when it started. I'm not sure anymore if this is Google's fault - it seemingly hasn't been reported on since it started. Too much news about strikes might give the population too many ideas.
