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!
