Loblaws is out of control – 50% off rotten vegetables

加拿大目前正掀起 #loblawsisoutofcontrol 运动,因为嫌弃他家超市物价高,号召5月份抵制Loblaws旗下超市,其中就包括我今天去的这间位于北约克Bayview大街旁的Your Independent Grocer。

去之前我先查了一下谷歌地图。谷歌发挥其美国巨头大数据人工智能优势告诉我该超市目前非常繁忙。实际进店一看,顾客只有麻雀两三只,还不如店员数量多。

店铺面积不大,相当于普通的metro超市,但可能因为人少,显得更宽敞。店面设计类似于Loblaws,店铺摆设让人一看就知道是Loblaws大,但没有那么豪华大气。

这家店和大统华一样入口附近就是新鲜蔬果。但是,不看不知道,一看吓一跳。

第一眼就看到绿豆芽的颜色不对,大片大片橙色映入眼帘,已经高度腐败全是细菌了。半价促销一包一磅(454克)重$1.25,比某些华人超市新鲜豆芽贵一倍。

豆芽下面就是上海青。大片大片叶子已经全黄,甚至腐烂变质成为泥巴状, 兵马俑的颜色。被误认为是出土文物都不过分。半价也要$1.75/磅,几乎是华人超市新鲜蔬菜促销价的两倍。

本应是青绿色的佛手瓜变成泥浆色,价格和成色都与上海青相同。

烂豆角$3/磅

The food sold is approaching its best before date but this is not expired food. Best Before Date is one of the biggest reason to cause food waste in the country.

Just remember to consume as soon as possible and don’t stock up.
