inchman Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 "Who here doesn't shop at Walmart or Costco?"Me. Refuse to support Walmart in any way, shape or form.I will gladly pay more at another store.As for Costco I have never been in their store for other reasons. Maybe if you told us why, you might convince some of us to follow your lead. That would make your clearly strongly held stance even more powerful.

conehead Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I don't go into a Walmart either. But what's wrong with Costco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deicer Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Costco at least sources some Canadian goods, and pays it's employees a living wage and has benefits.I won't shop at Walmart either, and here's why....http://www.workplacefairness.org/reports/good-bad-wal-mart/wal-mart.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QFE Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Thanks deicer for providing the why.As for Costco I won't pay to shop there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.k. Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I think Costco is OK... Living wages, good return policy, competetive prices... $1.50 hotdogs... And who are they competing with really - Loblaws, Sobeys, Esso, Shell, Best Buy, etc... Hardly taking down the small guys...As for Walmart... Never. Lowest of the low. Feel dirty just walking into that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Not sure how we got from new Rouge routes to this but what the heck. I purchased an ABC fire extinguisher 10 years ago, clipped the recipte to the inspection tag, used the extinguisher yesterday original price 26.97 from Canadian tire made in Canada. Replaced it today with the only choice offered at Canadian tire with a made in Mexico unit for the identical price. .........................So based on 2005 $$$$ vs 2015 $$$$$ the unit was actually being sold for less. Hmmm So I checked out Walmart & Costco and the same units were been sold in both stores.. Damn hard to find "Made in Canada" no matter where you shop. By the by I do find a number of products sold at Walmart that are made in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
props2you Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Rouge is now this country's flag carrier? How sad that it has come to that.Am I the only person who finds it extremely misleading when AC PR brags about their 4 star Skytrax rating when announcing new Rouge flights? It sure as hell ain't the Rouge product getting those ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
