In an interview, she said: “Seeing that the price of food grocery rises exceeding the inflation rate, it really makes many people feel uneasy, because Loblaw is one of the largest groceries in the country.”

On January 22, the organization had about 7,500 members.After loblaw cancels 50%discount for the upcoming product, the number of new members has increased sharply. Now it already has nearly 31,000

Seven members of Johnson and her Reddit team decided to organize a resistance.This idea was warmly welcomed.

Resisting activity

LOBLAW was asked to reduce the price by 15%and cancel the “member exclusive pricing”, that is, customers must register the PC Optimum card to get discounts and sales.

“In addition, the biggest goal is that consumers do have power. We hope that consumers will be taken seriously … We don’t want to tolerate Canada’s monopoly,” Johnson explained.

“We will resist all supermarkets in Loblaw throughout the month in May 2024,” wrote a post on the Reddit sub -section.

Those who are unable to resist hoping to show their positions are required to take other useful actions, such as writing letters to members, sending emails to Loblaw customer service staff, and so on.
