Yes there are other big oligopoly chains like metro, Sobeys/Safeway, Pattison, but I think it’s best to start with one major chain to see how much coordinated action can affect them.

Saying farewell to Zehrs will be easy but I could never give up my beloved Costco!
100%. They’re the only ones making a decent rotisserie chicken these days, and it’s only $8!?
My mom bought a 50% off rotisserie chicken from Zehrs yesterday that looked shrivelled and disgusting…7 dollars after the half off 😳. Managed to convince her to join the boycott at least!
I’d wager it is, or was, a loss leader. Its position at the very end of the store has to be strategic to make you look at everything else on the way.
Costco are known for treating their staff unusually well compared to other retailers, so I think that’s fine.
worked at costco for a year. It was great. full of old timers, and lots of respect for the staff.
