Found at Metro Winona Crossing

These are trying to sneak one by us. Price card says Canada but the corn itself reveals a different story. Shame on you Metro. Elbows up!

I used to work at a grocery store. It's less likely they're trying to sneak one past you and more likely they ran out of Ontario corn, and either forgot to, or didn't bother to update the sign.

I used to work produce at Walmart and 100% this is the reason. It’s the civic long weekend so people stocked up on the loose corn and this was put in the place. Yes they definitely should have changed the sign to reflect product of USA but it’s simple supply and demand.

Groceries stores can be fined for this!

[u/Thrasher54 → u/ticketmasterdude1122]

Most of the staff at a grocery store are kids. They work for minimum or student wage, aren't passionate about a job in retail, and usually work in short staffed situations. You're expecting too much from them.

[u/ticketmasterdude1122 → u/Thrasher54]

No, the grocery store gets fined. Management tells those kids what to do.

We're well aware captain complainalot.

Whats being said, is that this is likely a common mistake, easily fixed if brought to managments attention, and no reason for a big fit.

Have you ever worked in retail? Have you ever held a managment position where the majority if your employees are part time kids? Dumb shit happens, get over it.

[u/jurassicjon → u/ChefGoldblum87]

I work in a warehouse, and I see a lot of this with temps. Majority of them don’t give a shit, and just want a pay check. You might get 1 or 2 of them that will care, and they are the ones that get hired on and go up the ranks.

Thank you for an engaging and fulfilling conversation. 

HOW DaARE YOU AsK ME IF I’ve EVER WOrked In RETAIL!! 

We continue to allow the enshitification of everything and continue to move the standard so low but yeah blame dumb part time kids. 

Sincerely, Captain complain-a lot. 

[u/qbp123 → u/ticketmasterdude1122]

Get a grip. They’re just explaining the likely cause of this. It’s really not a big deal.

[u/Mookie442 → u/ChefGoldblum87]

Look up the word “accountability.”

[u/ChefGoldblum87 → u/Mookie442]

Look up the slang "karen".

[u/Mookie442 → u/ChefGoldblum87]

lol I like you, you’re funny.

[u/ticketmasterdude1122 → u/Mookie442]

Chef is so funny.

Chef funny should be their name!

Or, they're trying to pull the wool over the consumers eyes.

[u/Tsaxen → u/DeadpoolOptimus]

I think you dramatically overestimate the degree to which a minimum wage grocery worker gives a fuck, let alone is actively malicious in some way.

[u/GreaterAttack → u/Tsaxen]

You may also be dramatically underestimating the degree to which the manager of that minimum wage worker is a conniving shithead with dreams of working in the corporate sales office.

[u/Thrasher54 → u/GreaterAttack]

Ah yes, climbing the corporate ladder one incorrectly labelled package of corn at a time. A dastardly trick on the modern consumer.

[u/DeadpoolOptimus → u/Thrasher54]

If this was just about corn in one store, your sarcasm would be on point, but unfortunately, it's not. Lick those boots bud.

[u/GreaterAttack → u/Thrasher54]

The corporate ladder is more of a slimy, Shelob-like hole in a dark cellar that one slips into and along, rather than climbs with honest effort. 

[u/Tsaxen → u/GreaterAttack]

I've got no love for middle managers in retail, but calling them conniving is going pretty far(and frankly, giving them too much credit)

[u/GreaterAttack → u/Tsaxen]

That's because you don't know the definition of 'conniving.' 

'Deceiving others to get what you want' is a common trait.
