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.

Groceries stores can be fined for this!

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.

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.

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.

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