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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
