You guys have had a ridiculous couple of days of responding to my posts. You're not even connected to the issue at hand, you're making up reasons for things that are false.
The issue around pesticide signage has nothing to do with profits, it has nothing to do with rights of people in the community. it's a ridiculous over protectionist by-law enabled by one city... ONE. cardboard signage is not expensive. the by law is requesting signage at EVERY point... so that means on every single shelf, and at every register. That's over kill.
There is nothing anywhere, until you brought it..... oops sorry.... MADE it up about signage related to selling banned chemicals. There is no issue, everything sold is 100% legal to sell and use to the home consumer.
The latest post from Moaner 1 is completely ridiculous, even by their own low standards.
Not about profit? Gimme a break! That’s the only reason the store even exists.
For someone who claims to run a store, they sure don’t know much about posting signs. No, it’s not just about the price of cardboard, LOL! There’s the cost of having the signs made, paying someone to post them, checking on the signs periodically, replacing them when needed, etc. And there’s the lost space that could be used for selling other items.
And let’s not forget a bigger potential costs: fines against the store if they fail to post all the required signs. I guess they think it's best to dodge that bullet before it’s even fired.
But the biggest impact might come when the bylaw passes, and customers are informed that these products have been banned from use in their city - they might actually decide not to purchase them, which is why Council wants the signs posted.
And what does the Crappy Owner propose in lieu of the signs? They want Council to trust the Crappy Owner to have their cashiers say (in essence) “That product you are about to buy can’t be used in the city”. Ouch! That’s gonna hurt sales!
Fat chance the store will keep that up for long. We hear time and again about basic laws and laws not being followed by the Crappy Staff. Reasonable exchanges and refunds being refused. Privacy laws being violated. The Scanning Code of Practice being ignored. Incorrect collection of Eco Fees. Anti-competition legislation being ignored. The list grows steadily.
But I do want to thank Mr. Moaner 1 for giving a clear example of the dishonesty and misrepresentations we’ve come to expect from the Crappy Owners.
Besides the absurd 'not for profit' claim, here's another example from that one post:
"There is nothing anywhere.... about signage related to selling banned chemicals". Actually, that's all it is. Proposed signage about chemicals banned for use in the city. Not even a plausible lie!
Yes, if Mr. Moaner 1 is any example, we can expect nothing but dishonesty from the Crappy Owners.
Coquitlam council needs to know the type of people they are dealing with! Thanks, Moaner 1!
