“Greed is just killing everybody”: Why Vancouver’s independent grocers are struggling while big grocers profit

Housing prices and inflation are only one side of the story. Something may need to change if independent grocers are to survive.

As I said previously. Big grocery and big corps continue to whine about their rising costs. They say they just have to pass these costs to consumers. Yet they also continue with huge profits. People are starting to get pissed over this shell game.

LCL was chasing Walmart's centralized distro since the 1990s and now they're pretending they're Amazon. Ask how many people who use their systems have had trouble tickets on groceries like a workplace laptop's VPN connection but for groceries. Monopolists who cannot play the basics here.
