The lie detector has determined that is a lie!
They've had a Triangle Master Card since day one of the rebranded reward/credit card program.
Cashier or self check out?

The trouble is the complexity and to be blunt, few people understand that getting out of the mess we're all in requires teamwork, not looking out for one's self. It's just like losing a game because some one hogged the puck.
What is the living wage for Ontario where a starter home in the GTA is a million. But in SE Ontario the house price is a half or third. Same minimum wages?
Somewhere a line is drawn and people will use it to their advantage and the system gets screwed up.
I like Yang but he has a tough row to hoe.

Its as if the current house buyers are allergic to french or something
Yang will win, he build his rep on UBI in the national campaign, the overwhelming majority of people are all in favor of getting a UBI, which is why he's crushing it in the polls
Twice for me
1) Late teens living in a rooming house and eating at the same restaurant every meal. One day I say I'm not feeling 100% and the owner makes me a custom salad with all the right stuff.
2) Working on a contract in London ON and eating at one of the office building cafeterias but this one was out of this world good. Coffee breaks and lunches for about two weeks. Then one day I go to pay and the owner says. "It's on the house. You've been eating here very day for two weeks." I didn't know what to say.
Farm store??? If they sell Ontario bananas or peaches in December they're not fresh from the farm.
Otherwise, yeah their business vs my budget. Some are less mercenary.
Eating out is usually entertainment so the restaurant business is basically a business that is more vulnerable when things get tough. Their choice of business.
It's not that simple. What if you break a little clip as you install the new parts and the clip is a 2 week delivery? The local brick and mortar support isn't there.
What about the little piece of advice from the parts guy that keeps you from breaking the little clip?
It will take a while for the system to adjust.
I ordered a gear and gasket recently and the dealer wanted about 3 time what it cost me with Amazon. Part of the dealer price was $15 to have it there the next day. I got the gear from Amazon the next day delivered to the door. The gasket took a week and a half to arrive so we used the old one. One adjusts.
Do you want fries with your post?
The tellers, cashiers are told to ask everyone to sign up for something. Even the self check outs can do it, round up for XYZ?
Sir, would you spare a few minutes....
Me: Time is money. My minimum invoice is $250.00. I'll take cash, certified cheque or possibly a store credit.
Sir, would you mind participating in a short survey?
Me: If you are getting paid to ask the questions shouldn't I get paid more to answer them?
As far as CEO's of large charities getting large paycheques I have a concern about small minded people in charge of large projects.
I had an instrument in for service and it was taking loner than expected by days. When I finally got to talk to the techie he said he was trying to rejuvenate the battery by alternately discharging and recharging it for a few days. I asked how much a new battery was and the price was IIRC $250. I was losing about $1000 a day with it out of commission. With the new battery I would be good to go for several years. The rejuvenation bought me a bit of time. Small minded thinking.
Big charities are like any humanitarian service. Pay too much and get the greedy. Pat too little and responsible people go elsewhere. Responsible people must also be responsible to their families as well with housing and education. It's a tough call.
Like service or empathy?
Like being told "We're out of stock / don't carry them but I think my competitor up the street may have some."
The Salvation Army is considered large. How do they manage?
That was in the drug store near us.Yeah, I'm old. Not as old as Gary, but still.
Religion. However they may not be political correct enough for some but I haven't checked them out for a while.
Some religious organizations have humanitarian ideals and not all MBA's are psychopathic money grubbers. There are capable retired CEOs. Reasonable remunerations can happen.
There are acceptable overhead percentages but a lot is subjective.
