"Organized retail crime across the entire industry is a serious issue, and has only gotten worse," said spokesperson Catherine Thomas. She did not provide data to back up the claim.

Is she talking about how Loblaws is essentially an organized crime outfit?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Nah, she's being truthful. The retail stores have illegally collaborated in secret to raise prices to criminal levels, which is a serious issue.
