Yeah, we've seen this theory being pushed, ever since Angry CT Guy started posting as SAngriaGuy.

The idea is, consumers should ignore all the complaints about CT, including all the ones posted daily on their own Facebook page, simply because 1 or 2 complaints were made years ago about some other business or other.

A ridiculous theory, already demolished several times over, on various other threads.

None of which has really much to do with Crappy Tire's current state ... which is itself discussed on thread all its own, LOL!

??? You have lost it 8her. First it was your paranoia, not it is just utter nonsense.

The Moaner Owner thinks they've thrown down the gauntlet, asking for proof of a 'lousy' quarter. But this proof is readily available, from their own web site - just takes a little digging.

And this was already done several times, including a post on this same thread, as recently as November!

What, are the consumers on this site supposed to just keep re-posting the same truths, each time a Crappy Person posts the same, worn-out nose-stretcher?

For Pete's sake, even their own executive has just admitted, that all it takes, is a wet summer or warm winter, to wreck their financials!

Speaking of predictions, these belong in the "Coming Competition" thread, but I'll bet nostalgia and mis-placed patriotism will only keep them profitable for a while longer.

The short-term gouging of low-quality products, worst-in-sector policies, poor customer service, and terrible vehicle servicing will soon catch up with them.

Then, the coming competition will be here to give them a good spanking.

When things are bad, they say, "It's not us - it's the weather".

But when things are good, they usually aren't as honest as Michael Medline - instead, they chest-pound, claiming "We had good execution" or "We're a power house".

Hilarious!


Besides, we all know what's really going on: the CTers like Moaner and SAngryA think they'll make more money, if they can shore up their beleaguered brand in the eyes of Canadians.

But I bet the CTer's will be by shortly, to show us what a hollow "swagger" looks like, LOL!

Do you read things while you're standing on your head or something? When sales and profit charts show increases, that means things continue to move in an upward direction. Apparently in your world, setting records means things are on the decline LOL

Short term profits? I suppose decades are considered short term?


Besides, i'm certain I could go back to threads in here from 3 or 4 years ago and you personally made the exact same predictions. Fail

Beleaguered brand? You didn't really just say that did you? LOL
That's among the most ridiculous claims you've made on here.


As I thought might be the case, you can't find a single shred of actual proof that supports your theory of bad quarters and poor performance. Instead your usual, we've already discussed this find it yourself defence is presented.

Guess what, proof does not mean you go, hey remember what I saiid three months ago, that's proof. Good thing you don't own a business. You'd probably submit to your accountants a note that says he we made this much last month, please put that on the books and call it good LOL

You're business STUPID!

?.. the answer is NOT, hey tell me about your battery!

Hey, good reminder!

So, where ARE all those warranties, from every retailer? The Moaner said they prove that Crappy has "the best" (whatever that means) warranty "in the business". Still waiting for some Facts on that one!

Plus, this supposed "new way" consumers can get refunds - still waiting for those 'facts', too!

Oh, and a more recent claim: the Crappy Tire has some kind of "DOA" return policy - where are the Facts on that?

With people like this running their stores, it could cause one to doubt the 'facts' CT puts into their press releases and financial statements!

Well, if laziness was an Olympic sport, it seems The Moaner would top the podium.

But, just this once, I decided to scroll back a couple screens, to find the evidence that The Moaner will swear doesn't exist. ("I can't comment on evidence I haven't seen or doesn't exist" - where have we heard THAT before, LOL!)

Here 'tis:

It was 2012 Q3 that saw a 0.2% drop in same-store CTR sales.

Hey, wait a minute! CTMe/LawGuy/Moaner said there have been INCREASED sales, "quarter after quarter!".

If you check out the Q3 2012 results - just a year ago! - we see a 3.7% drop in Income! And Revenue fell a full 6.7%!!!

And we don't have to go back very far to find drops like this:

2013 Q1:
- Down 1.6% in Retail Sales.
- Down 2.4% in same-store sales.
- Down 0.9% in revenue.

2012 Q4:
- Down 0.5% in Sales

2012 Q2:
- Up a paltry 0.4% on same-store

2011 Q1:
- Down .6% on sales.
- Down 1.5% on same-store sales.


Indeed, it seems that CTR's "quarter after quarter" history is not nearly as sunny as has been claimed!

Let's review again: Who is it, exactly, who "tried to mislead Candian Consumers with misinformation"??

Time & again, it's the same person: CTMe/LawGuy/Moaner.

Now, if lying were an Olympic sport? It'd be a tough call, who'd win: Crappy Tire or Russia!


LMFAO!

Ha-ha!

I see the CTer's are really frothing at the mouth, when consumers on Canadian Tire Sucks dare to descirbe the varous ways that Canadian Tires Sucks!

I wonder if the neighbours are complaining, about how loud their furious typing must be!

Hilarious!!

Oh now now, it might be important to tell the ENTIRE story, not just the one fact that suits your little theory
How about profit in those quarters? You know, profit, that thing businesses are ultimately measured by.
Oh that's right...... you're still digging trying to find a loss somewhere in our history.

and on the side i also noticed that stemming back to 2010 CTR annual sales were approximately $5.67 billion and in 2013 were $5.91 billion
Only a quarter of a billion higher over 3 years LOL you know $250 Million. which means Canadians now spend $700,000 per day more at Canadian Tire, then they did just 3 years ago. damnit, math, facts, figures....got you again.

Sounds like a troubled brand to me hahahahhahahahahahahaha

Swing and a miss CT haters!

Well, consumers: you can see how it work.

- We post facts the CTers don't like.
- The CTers claim that no such facts exist, and demand a re-post.
- After much goading, we reluctantly re-post the facts the CTers said don't exist.
- Instead of acknowledging the obvious, the CTers simply try 'moving the goalpost', and claim other details must be reported, too.

As we all should have known, debate with these ... ceatures is pointless, if admitting defeat might cost them a bit of the 'coin' they prize far above ethics.

No thank, CTers!

It's always interesting to hear the various theories, on whether the Red Triangle of Crap segment of this company is doing well or doing poorly, based on financial statements that conver multiple business units. The CTers say all is well, even when the results are obviously poor. Very strange!

And the theories about future performance are also interesting. The CTers look back, and try to re-write history, as if the stores in the past faced the same opposition as those in the present market.

And the stores have clawed way back on customer service, automotive and especially return policies, as even some CTers have had the coutprage to admit. At least some at the helm seem to have clued in, at least in Auto, and are trying avert disaster - not doing too well, by the look of CT's Facebook page! OUCH!

I guess the investors see at least some value in the other units, to offset the looming disaster in CTR - their almanac must call for a dry summer, LOL!

But we can just leave it to consumers to decide for themselves what they think of these financial statements:

I wonder if the fire was intentional or not. I hope they never catch the people if it was


Now, that's the kind of thing the CTers would just love to jump on. Have they been banned from this site, or something?

We shouldn't let our justifiable hatred of all things Crappy get out of hand. Arson is dangerous and illegal.

But, I must say, I have very little sympathy for anything bad that happens, to a company that routinely exploits Canadians, on both sides of the counter.

Canadian Tire Corporation just named one of Canada's Best Managed Companies


So...how are you going to spin this into A negative?

I heard some Crappy Results are due out soon.

It will be interesting to see how the Red Triangle of Crap stores are doing. Up slightly? Down slightly?

Are they still dragging down the overall CT Corporate earnings?

All I could find was this: http://corp.canadiantire.ca/EN/Investors/Documents/Q4 2014 Fact Sheet.pdf

It says same-store sales are up slightly. Could be the other banners continue to shore to the Red Triangle. Waiting to see!

I'm pretty sure I suggested you invest in CTC a few years ago now. If you had, you'd be a rich man now. Now personally, I only have 6500 shares....I'll let you do the math. Must be getting awfully hard sitting down these days for you. Oh....and news flash, my store is up 10% in February too!
