I call this the, "Mario Cart."
All that's missing are missile launcher switches and missiles (duh)............. shoot down those pesky dipshits who leave their carts smack in the middle of the aisle. https://imgur.com/a/KsmncDV
Was at the Coquitlam Superstore. The only one in the whole place. Should make this standard issue. So easy to steer. Awesome for those people with hundreds of pounds of groceries. Maybe it's standard issue in richmond or elsewhere. First time I've seen one.
IKEA carts, anyone? Nuff said.............

Why? I don’t get it
Galon charging $7 for a loaf of bread so he can add wings on carts?
Fuck it’s such a cliche but today is exactly the type of day you say “this is why we live here” went down to Chinatown to drop the wife off and we had dinner on a patio, drinking beers in the sun on a day like this on the verge of spring.. hard to beat

Dude, I have no idea why you're like this......................
Should you not be doing something else? It is a nice day, now evening. I'm retired and on my way out. You're young, but spend time on-line. Why?

So there is a sub Reddit with 10’s of thousands of people shitting on superstore and their prices and practices etc. let alone their general perception
And superstore things it’s a prudent investment to add those?.. what do you think those cost in total? $500 each?
I’m not trying to argue with you if you think it worked, great. I think it’s just a typical globo corpo being completely out of touch with reality thinking that is acceptable if that is the way they are going in adding that to all carts.

This is probably just the latest model of it.
When it went from the single deep bucket carts to the two tray carts it was all weird for a bit too.

Finally! Those handles will be useful to hang reusable bags on so you can keep the basket empty while shopping. Quote:

Kinda going out of your way to hate on Superstore lol 
Edit: darnit I need windows 11 too. Where would one find it online on the cheap? Don’t think I need pro..

Pretty devastating news from one of my clients today.
He's a father of a four year old and two year old...
He told me that his wife is pregnant. Unexpected. Her IUD failed. He was in a state of shock. Having kids and knowing that we don't want any more... I feel for this man.
IUD is supposed to be >99% effective. I feel like he should sue the doctor or the company or something.

I'm pretty sure that when you sign on for a IUD, you sign off on the fact that it is rated as 99% effective and that you will not sue the doctor or company in the event that you get pregnant. No one or nothing can guarantee 100% effectiveness ... except for abstinence and even then, pregnancy happened once in history.

I’m not trying to argue with you if you think it worked, great. I think it’s just a typical globo corpo being completely out of touch with reality thinking that is acceptable if that is the way they are going in adding that to all carts. | During covid when the GOV invited the Super Market CEO's Galon seemed to get shitted on the most too or at least it looked like it. So just from your avg consumer here isn't Superstore the cheapest of all the Super Markets? I shop at TnT, Superstore, Save On, Safeway, and Sun Given all on the regular. I got to each place for certain things. Meat, Veggies, and Fruits I do not buy at Superstore except for the odd thing that I don't find make a big difference like mushrooms or potatoes. That said, for all the other shit they're the cheapest by far even their regular prices sometimes beat other places sale prices. I'm not disputing potential terrible practices but the lowest price is still the lowest price. Shouldn't we be shitting on the rest for having their prices so much higher because at the end of the day isn't all what most people care about how much the bill is?

The story I used to hear -- like 15+ years ago -- was that at least Safeway and Save-On-Foods paid decent wages, whereas Superstore was just paying min wage. I knew for a fact that at one point, Safeway employees were really earning quite a decent wage. So potentially because of that, people don't shxt on Sobeys nearly as much? (And Overwaitea is "just" a regional player.) Quote:

But of course, why am I not surprised that the man didn't wanna get himself snipped?  |

It's not that invasive from what I hear.
Well, after this news he told me he's going to Call Dr. Polluck, apparently he's the guy to get the procedure done... Quote:

I'm also sure he'll love the new one just as much, it just adds a new level of complexity and strain, but I'm sure they'll persevere. He's a good dad and person, I'm not worried about the baby, it's just a tough pill to swallow.
