It's not about being fair to me, or even our company or that matter.

Get this! Now the Crappy Person is claiming they are NOT defending themeselves and their beloved store!

(Naturally, this claim is preceeded, and followed, by statements defending their mis-deededs while attacking consumers.)

I don't and have never visited a hate canadian tire site expecting handshakes and pats on the back.

Wow! There are OTHER sites dedicated to revealing the wrong-doings of Crappy Tire! Maybe our 'customer-centric' friend will post some links to them all!

It is my purpose to understand legitimate customer complaints and see how they can be prevented....

Please, spare us.

The Crappy People have said over and over how they care about only one thing: Profit.

And they are proud of it.

It's a little late now to start trying to spread some sunshine and love to cover over their greed.

LEGITIMATE being a key word,

It's always entertaining when the Crappy People want to decide for us what's legitimate and what isn't.

That guy who got ripped off when they said a repairable tire couldn't be fixed? No way will they agree that was legitimate.

That guy they wouldn't accommodate for an urgent snow-tire change? Nope, that wasn't a legitimate complaint either (even though the Crappy Person admitted that they do that all the time).

and also to educate consumers and haters alike that there is more then one side to each story being represented here, again despite the fact this is a hate site!

Ha-ha! Maybe they could start by educating the public on their terrible return policies, instead of hiding them and lying about them.

Maybe they could stop cheating customers in their auto service centers. Lot of stories on this site and others.

Here's the point about being fair. Represent YOURSELF, and this site in a truthful fashion. That's fair.

Another vague accusation, without anything to back it up.

I guess we're all just supposed to believe everything the Crappy People say, about flat tires, about snow tires, and now about this site, too.

But in case anyone is tempted to believe them, take a look at this popular thread:

Will Crappy Tire survive?

This article doesn't paint a very rosy picture.

If the article is right, and "The Shopper is Now in Charge", Crappy Tire is going to either step up to the new reality, or see their customers go elsewhere.

Shoppers win Round One of retail war - thestar.com

Based on the Crappy Attitudes I've seen on this site, I think they'll cling to their crappy policies and poor service decisons, until they can't afford to keep the lights on anymore.

Dude what article did you read? There is nothing that refers to the ability of any retailer to survive (canadian tire or otherwise) it simply says that consumers have access to more information through digital media options, and that more companies are either coming to Canada or expanding within.

Your analysis is ummmm not even close. it's just your take on a company you love to hate, canadian tire.

I wonder what life is like in your world?! A world where everything seems to spin back to your detest for canadian tire. Kind of pathetic actually
 
Oh-oh!

The moronic Owner1 has decided to re-visit us, and give us an encore of their ignorance and lack of reading comprehension!

Those who can read at a grade 3 level will have realized by now that it's this thread (and not the artilce) that's about Crappy Tire's survival odds.

Those who want to know what the article said are free to follow the links, and form their own opinion. Best not to rely on the deluded distortions of Crappy People like Owner1.

But with people like Owner1 running their stores, it sure doesn't look promising for them!

(Hint: that part isn't in the article, so no need to search for it, LOL!)

Yup, always amusing to hear just how badly the Crappy People try to twist reality to match their comfy little fantasy world - "LOL Hilarious"!

Those mam are your words, not mine. Grade 3 reading you say? sure it is. Will we survive, read this article it doesn't paint a rosy picture. sure looks to me like you're saying that the article is stating we may not survive.

Comfy world.... you bet ya! Life is good as a Canadian Tire owner
 
Amazing how much content the Crappy People will invent, if it help hide how much they suck.

And amazing how much they will ignore, it it helps them hide from reality.



Well, it's sure not working out so well for this guy, LOL!

YOU'RE versed to talk abour reality when it comes to retail? bahhhhahahhaa that's awesome
Okay here's a test. Let's discuss Canadian Tire's results for the last quarter, or quarter before that, year before.... reality is we are doing some pretty great things in the market, and the results are showing in Canadian Tire, Marks, Forzani and Petroleum. REALITY check it out


As far as the couple of gas station owners caught price fixing, hope they get what they deserve. As you always like to say, against the law is illegal...and nobody under our banners would support what they were caught doing. For the dealer above who's not doing so well, that's his fault, and yes I know who he is. If you'd read back to many posts i've made, you'll note (though not likely acknowledge) that we are well aware that not EVERY dealer has a massive net worth, there are a few that are negative equity. That's no big secret, it is what it is. No system is perfect, ours included but it's DAMN good!!!
 
<yawn>

Yup, just the same old unsubstantiated crap and self-serving 'opinion'.

Oh, and the usual mis-quotes (pretending people said things, when they really didn't).

Hey, speaking of 'markets', we're still waiting for all that proof you kept saying you had, about every single battery warranty in Canada - any estimate on when you'll get around to posting that?

Oh, and that Star article? It wasn't about the way retailing used to be, or even about the way it is now. It's about the way retailing is going to be.

Better starting thinking about that, instead of posting half-truths on the internet, LOL!
 
I've been hearing reports lately of extremely generous return policies.

I was at a seminar on e-commerce last month, and heard about retailers who are accepting returns of items that weren't even purchased at their store (provided it's an item they carry).

The thinking is, it's more important to go the extra mile to keep your customers happy, than it is to try attracting new ones.

That's the kind of competition we might start seeing more of, and not the draconian screw-the-customer philosophy of Crappy Tire - which is all we seem to hear out of them on this site.

Yes, the future looks bright for the consumer.

Oh oh!

The Crappy People aren't gonna like THIS very much!

Bloomberg reports a prediction that 'Target will “steal” a total of C$855 million ($828 million) in sales from Canadian Tire, a Toronto- based motor oil-to-toasters chain.'

Plus, any half-competent staff Crappy might have left ...

Target

UPDATE 2-Canadian Tire profit rises, paced by sporting goods | Reuters

Another strong quarter! So experts, how are you feeling about your claims of "buying an insolvent company" - "Paying too much for FGL" oh and the fact in general that Canadian Tire across the board continues to perform well?

So while Sears struggles, Rona's profit drops, Lowes expansion plans fail and slow, Zellers takes a final bow.... oh it's a tough retail landscape.

Go ahead haters, spin this into another negative hahahaha
 
Hey, look who's returned, to give us a fresh round of entertaining B.S.!

The late, great Moaner One!

(Hey! Where's all the evidence you said you had, about every single Canadian retailer of automotive batteries? Still waiting, LOL!)

Yes, it's been a while, but the barrage of deceit has already begun!

Try to guess how much same-store sales at the Red Triangle of Crap have increased?

Any guesses? 16%? 10%? 5%? Even 1%?

Nope! Guess again!

A mere 0.4% increase in same-crappy-store sales!

Woo-hoo! You must be SO proud!

LMAO!

And this counts as "performing well", does it?

LMFAO!

Wecome back, Moaner! This is gonna be FUN!
 
Canadian Tire across the board continues to perform well

Seriously?

Did you even bother to read the friggin' report??

"auto service and related parts sales declined in the quarter compared to the same period in 2011."

Since when does a decline count as "performing well"?

Talk about 'spin' - you must take your lessons from Wetmore, LOL!
 
It's important to always do a little research, before believing anything the Crappy People post here.

Take for instance the recent post that said, "Rona's profit drops". Makes it sound like they are doing even worse than CT Retail, who's same-store sales increased a paltry 0.4% over Q2 2011, right?

But if you dig into the story, you find out that the profits were affected by "unusual items" this quarter, related to their re-alignment with their markets: Rona profit dragged down by unusual items

Hardly what CT would lead you to believe. In fact, without these 'unusual items', their profits were UP abougt 18%! This is born out by their revenues, which are also up by 3.4% from a year ago.

This trickery regarding Rona comes on the heels of The Moaner's misrepresentation from last quarter about stores closing - back then, The Moaner 'forgot to mention' that far more (smaller) Rona stores would be opening to replace them.

Yup, you just can't trust these owners!

And their slogan is "Bring it On", but it should be "Don't Bring It Back", to accurately reflect their so-called 'return' policy, LOL!

It's looking like Moaner1 will be popping in every quarter, to tell us how great Forzani is doing. And Marks and CT Financial. And Petrolium. Basically, anybody ELSE that they haven't yet run into the ground.

And they'll be sure to make up stories about other Canadian retailers, and drag in stories about under-performing companies in other markets (regardless of whether the stories are true or not).

But what we apparently WON'T hear from The Moaner, is any bad news about sales or profits at your local Red Triangle of Crap store!

LMAO!

Aside from a neutral or slightly down quarter in automotive, it was a great quarter. Yes i'm going to come tell you how good we are doing, it's printed in black and white, read em and weep.
A small growth in the last 3 months for CTR shows on the books, and a profit. Not a loss, not shrinking sales. NOw does that sound like an underperforming company to you? I know what you THINK. Too bad it's not based on anything except your opinion.


NOw as far as Forzani goes, let's address that shall we? In another post one of you has mentioned that they are now floating the company LOL which first is a joke. Secondly this is the same company that you called insolvent. We paid a billion too much for them. We made a mistake because we had to take a $25 million hit to close the underperformers. Those were a few of your analysis comments on our Forzani purchase. Not looking so smart now are you?
 
0.4% is "great"?????

LMFAO!!!

I really DO like CT's new strategy of running the Red Triangle stores into the ground, though. The sooner those triangles disappear from the Canadian landscape, the better. Can't wait until CT is just a couple of letters on the stock ticker - preferably headed downward!
 
?.. a neutral or slightly down quarter in automotive ...

So, which was it, genius? Was it a neutral quarter? Or was it a down quarter? Because it actually can't be both, you know. It's one or the other (but it sure wasn't 'up', LOL!)

Care to actually make a stand for once? Huh?

Oh, never mind - the answer is easy to find - no reason to lie or misrepresent on this one:

" ... auto service and related parts sales declined in the quarter compared to the same period in 2011."

See? It's actually pretty easy to just be honest and accurate. You should give it a try once in a while, man!
