Their "tricks" include NOT paying union wages to their employees, unlike
local chains CUB & Rainbow.
So enjoy saving a few cents* on your groceries. You're doing it at the
expense of the workers there!

tuna packed in water, 6 oz. can, 49 cents.
Yesterday I was in CUB at Lake St. They had tuna at 2 for 99¢ = 49½¢ per
can. And that was regular, name brand tuna.
For a half-cent more, I'd prefer to get the name brand tuna, and support
unionized workers!
