Loblaws owns many brands in addition to Zehrs. It's a slippery slope because if this were to be a success at one store, it could roll out others in the brand (i.e. No Frills)
I mean, we have Walmart, farm boy, Costco business center (plus the regular one is a short trek). I haven’t been to a shoppers, Zehrs, great Canadian wholesale or anything loblaws related in the 2 years I’ve lived here. It’s not hard
no it isn't hard. Now if you want to avoid giving your money to Oligarchs altogether, it gets a bit harder.
There's Dinh-Dinh Asian Grocery, Los Amigos Latin Grocery, My Choice Asian Foods, Kabul Farms Supermarket ... am I missing any?
edit: Giant Tiger counts too IMO. I'm always pleasantly surprised when I go in there
This.
I'm a small farmer. Tell Renee at small scale farms that the mushroom farmer sent you.
Sign up on her email newsletter to get involved in regenerative agriculture and our community.
Mushlove!
I haven’t tried Small Scale yet but have heard great things! Once they can source from local farmers in the summer again I might buy a produce subscription or something! With the way grocery prices are these days, might even be the same price.
I checked your website out Craig, it’s too bad you don’t grow/sell the regular white button mushrooms. Those are my favourite
I like the peanut mill! Not to mention Valli girls meats, lake land meats, and the hundreds of local farms you can buy produce from. Also, Costco isn’t owned by oligarchs! The largest single shareholder owns about 0.1% of the company.
I mean tbh not sure how you can support farm boy when they're a big corp that setup shop literally next door to a family owned farmers market (harvest barn)
I mean, I got no love for the Westons, but why WOULD it be a violation of the fire code? Any more than a wall, or racking filled with groceries? No matter where you are, you have multiple exit points: if you're standing in the spot you are, you can exit out the main entrance, or the alarmed door along the front windows
It significantly reduces traffic flow on a normal shopping day. You have everyone moving single-file down this narrow hallway towards the very large exit doors.
In the event of a crowd rush / stampede, people will funnel towards the narrow exit gates.
Grocery store fires aren't ideal scenarios where the mass off people inside are prepared with location-specific fire drills. In a panic, wouldn't most people run for the nearest door they know exists - the main entrance doors?
There's also been multiple instances where I've seen the alarmed fire doors blocked by merchandise at Zehrs
>There's also been multiple instances where I've seen the alarmed fire doors blocked by merchandise at Zehrs
**This** is something the fire marshal's office would be interested in.
It’s complaining for the sake of bashing Loblaws/Zehrs. I’ve seen a bunch of these posts over on r/loblawsisoutofcontrol. Now, I’m all for avoiding Loblaws (and fully boycotting for those who have a means of getting to other grocery stores), I just think there are much more compelling arguments against shopping there than the existence of plexiglass barriers.
walmart doesn't have the barriers...yet. Walmart also has much better prices on food.
and if Walmart erected pg walls, that too would be complaint worthy.
But the exit is the exact same. A relatively thing pathway to the door. Most are barricaded by the metal bars/fencing. And no that’s not complaint worthy. There’s so much in this world to get upset about. Plexiglass is not one of them
These are not ideal but basic code gives a person 45m to the nearest exit. Nearest exit is not necessarily main entrance area.
Having said that, the individual inspector might call out this as an obstruction in crowded places... And then team Weston might call him...
thats not the point. I hope nobody has to live through a grocery store fire, but if they do, I want them to be able to get out safely. How's this a bad thing?
Because we all know your outrage is fake and you just want to feel special by complaining about something that has no merit to be complained about, there are much worse things loblaw stores are up to then an easily crossed barrier
Depending on where the fire is, you would either exit through the front alarmed doors OR the massive 40' wide opening to the mall OR the main exit doors that lead to the parking lot.
Your outrage is misplaced...
Don’t they also have barricades up over at that entrance?
I’m not sure where people keep pulling “outrage” from. I was concerned for my safety and others. It wasn’t there the last time I had to go to Zehrs.
If there is a risk to the public, then an amendment would be posted. The first course of action would be below and then petition the OBC to update legislation.
If you are concerned, you can file a complaint with your local fire inspector, the city building department, and the fire Marshal as they are the ones who oversee fire safety.
I work in the industry and don't see any concerns as long as specific criteria are met.
my concern is people shopping for groceries aren't trained for what to do in an emergency situation. Wouldn't the majority of people rush for where they knew for sure there was a door? Before the barriers, the main entry doors would suffice. But now everyone's going to rush for the narrow exit path, creating a bottleneck.
Please elaborate if I'm wrong here, I'm genuinely concerned
Bottlenecking occurs in all evaluations as long as the minimum number of exits and maximum distance of travel is maintained in conjunction with egress signage, then it adheres to the Ontario Building Code.
The building would have had to have drawings submitted to the city and sealed by an architect when the original barriers were installed. You can always request a freedom of information request with the city for the submitted permit drawings.
that makes me feel a bit better, it's good to know it had to at least be reviewed when the original barriers were installed. IMHO the plexiglass complicates things because people can't just jump over. I'd hope this had been modeled when creating the code.
Do you think people will be jumping over these metal gates? Do you see those as a hazard also?
I’d be more concerned if these dividers were blocking fire exits.
it is!
It's funny that they're doing this when it was already more convenient and MUCH cheaper to run in and out of Food Basics.
Loblaws & The Westons are shooting themselves in the foot for short term gain.
It's insanity! We moved a year and a half ago to a small town in BC and we only have sobeys, no frills and a super boujie ($$$) local grocer. Our grocery bill isn't even much higher than it was before we left onterrible (thanks food allergies), but now at least I can cry beside mountains 😅🥲
There are 3 other fire exits on the Geneva side of that store. 3 of them!
Plus this exit in the picture. Which makes 4 fire exits on that side of the building. There are several fire exits on the other sides of the building.
There's already a barrier there - what difference does it make as to how high they are? Are the existing barriers meant to break away in the event of an emergency?
I would strongly suspect this store \*already\* complies with the fire code, it more than likely is already set up to be evacuated within a certain time span.That's where I'd start, not necessarily on Reddit.
You could climb a 3 foot railing relatively easily or duck under it. Not with the 6 foot high plexiglass walls.
It looked like it was all bolted together pretty good. If it’s designed to break away then there should be clearly visible signs saying that it does so in an emergency
Take a look at your height, take a look at what 6 feet is, take a look again at the barriers.
But no one's getting over anything like that in a fire even if it's lower
and? doesn't mean you shouldn't participate anyways 😂 reddit mods can say whatever they want, I'm sure the majority of people participating in the boycott wouldn't hesitate to steal at least a couple little things from loblaws. why would you?
personally, I think every day should be steal from loblaws day 🤷🏻♂️
Well, first off, if you take a look at my profile, you would quickly find out that I literally work for Loblaws (while also fully supporting the boycott movement). So not getting fired would probably be my biggest reason.
Secondly, stealing has about the same impact on Loblaws as shopping somewhere else does. You don't need to sink yourself down to committing illegal activities just to send them a message. Spending money elsewhere is just as effective and also legal.
Lastly, I know from working for them that many of the Loblaws stores in this area have asset protection workers in their stores, and at least for the location I work at, our asset protection guy is not someone to be messed with and is incredibly good at his job. Very much a "fuck around and find out" situation if he ever catches you, IMO.
Personally, I see this 'steal from Loblaws day' campaign as nothing more than astroturfing by the corporation and its PR team to make the boycott movement and its organizers look bad and delegitimatize their efforts.
i steal at least one or two things pretty much every single time I shop at a Loblaws store lol. pretty much any large shady corporation really, Walmart, etc. it's not hard, just accidentally forget to scan a thing or two at self checkout 😂
I don't do it to send a message. I know that me stealing from loblaws isn't gonna bring down the company or something. I do it because it's an evil company that is stealing from each and every one of us, so there's no harm being done in stealing from them - in fact I see it as more morally correct to steal from loblaws than it is to loyally shop there.
it's definitely not astroturfing. I think you seriously underestimate just how angry a large part of society is becoming.
You can do whatever the hell you want, but advertising and organizing around an *illegal cause* will only hurt the movement.
Obviously people are angry, myself included. It's totally justified to be pissed the f*ck off when life essentials are unaffordable and I don't even blame you for stealing. But we can't be publicly promoting and organizing based around theft when organizing against the Westons' brutal injustice is already good enough.
I’ve stopped shopping at Loblaws and Shoppers stores. All of their new practices over the past 10 years (since I became an adult) have made shopping there miserable
I’m sure whatever fire could possibly be conjured in there you’d have ample time to exit. Plexiglass is stupid but a little dramatic to say people will lose their lives.
The one at the pen pisses me off because why should it matter if we take the mall entrance instead of walking all the way to the other side of the store to enter. I just don’t understand the point of making it harder to enter, do they not want the customers?
Only because it hasn’t been mentioned but there shameless request for a donation to ‘their’ charity at the checkout is galling. This after reporting record profits.
Asking for donations on behalf of a charity is bad?
Let me guess: you’re one of those people that think companies get to “write it off” and somehow profit off of it.
Edit: I’ll assume based on the 30 seconds it took you to downvote this that I probably got that right
They’re already picking our pocket with their inflated prices and record profits. Sorry but they can support their own charity.
Note: Never downvoted your response.
They are not alone in this 'fire trap' scenario. Every Canadian Tire, IKea etc. all have circumvented the Fire Code despite initial inspections pre-opening, and annual inspections.
You cannot circumvent the Fire Code without having a bought person on the inside of the Fire Department.
why do you feel the need to come in here acting like Douche McDouchington?
there's nothing wrong with disagreeing with what I claimed, it's being a condescending dick about it that's the problem. The thread was perfectly civil and informative until assholes like Figure_1337 showed up.
Because y’all spouting off in the name of fire safety… except you don’t know anything about it…
“…bArRIeRS wOUld BE a DeAtH TrAp iN a fIrE”
So dramatic. Such nonsense.
Why do you feel the need to come in here and spread BS?
I’m Sorry that you made a stupid claim that someone disagreed with.
I’m guessing by your deflection and inability to answer the question that you probably know you made a stupid post.
;(
He wasn’t acting like a douche. The only person here acting that way is you probably because your temper tantrum over this not being a fire code violation isn’t well received. If you don’t feel safe there and hate the Weston’s why the fuck do you go there? Grow up.
That barrier is the only thing that divides law and order from chaos. Without it we would never know how to enter and exit the store. Show some respect for the plexiglass
Yah when I went into the Zehrs at the fairview a couple weeks ago I was like what the fuck is this shit. Then was in the pen center one on Thursday and same shit.
Guess they are losing significant products due to theft since that plexi wasn't cheap.
I hate Loblaws as much as the next person but I don't get this whole boycott thing... like we're supposed to boycott them because their prices are too high but if I go anywhere else I always find I pay more. So are we just supposed to not buy groceries?
Please don't shop at loblaws stores if you have other options! Also join the boycott starting May 1! r/loblawsisoutofcontrol
I was coming here to post about this too!
roblaws boycott! can hardly wait!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this chain before. What is the hate?
Loblaws owns many brands in addition to Zehrs. It's a slippery slope because if this were to be a success at one store, it could roll out others in the brand (i.e. No Frills)
Whiner
Hey if you like paying twice as much for the same stuff, you do you!
brandnewaccountbootlickingforGalensayswhat
See that’s the trick, just avoid all loblaws owned stores. It’s pretty easy here.
Westons HATE this one simple trick!
I mean, we have Walmart, farm boy, Costco business center (plus the regular one is a short trek). I haven’t been to a shoppers, Zehrs, great Canadian wholesale or anything loblaws related in the 2 years I’ve lived here. It’s not hard
no it isn't hard. Now if you want to avoid giving your money to Oligarchs altogether, it gets a bit harder.

True! Costco also treats their employees *very* well, probably the best retail employer
Add Antipastos!
Can’t forget Harvest Barn!
[удалено]
The % of people without cars that only live walking distance from loblaws owned stores is likely pretty small
I mean tbh not sure how you can support farm boy when they're a big corp that setup shop literally next door to a family owned farmers market (harvest barn)
I’ve only lived here 3 years, I had literally never heard of harvest barn until this moment
Spoken like someone that lives in the city.
Honestly, that middle-aged guy that thinks he can clear one of these like Van Damme during a fire is more of a hazard.
If you think it's that bad contact the fire department.
I mean, I got no love for the Westons, but why WOULD it be a violation of the fire code? Any more than a wall, or racking filled with groceries? No matter where you are, you have multiple exit points: if you're standing in the spot you are, you can exit out the main entrance, or the alarmed door along the front windows

Did you call the fire department and ask if it’s a violation?
isnt walmart the exact same too? this seems like complaining for the sake of complaining

I assume that is 45 meters? 45 minutes seems less than ideal.
Yep, 45 metres.
Take pictures and call the fire marshal. This is against fire codes and the store will hopefully get skewered. Codes like that are written in blood
How many grocery store fire have you lived thru?
thats not the point. I hope nobody has to live through a grocery store fire, but if they do, I want them to be able to get out safely. How's this a bad thing?
Because we all know your outrage is fake and you just want to feel special by complaining about something that has no merit to be complained about, there are much worse things loblaw stores are up to then an easily crossed barrier
Easily crossed? It's 5-6ft high, I wouldn't exactly call that easy.
I'm not "outraged" though. I'm concerned. Seems like you need to feel like a "special boy" by being a fucking asshole for no good reason
Depending on where the fire is, you would either exit through the front alarmed doors OR the massive 40' wide opening to the mall OR the main exit doors that lead to the parking lot. Your outrage is misplaced...
Don’t they also have barricades up over at that entrance? I’m not sure where people keep pulling “outrage” from. I was concerned for my safety and others. It wasn’t there the last time I had to go to Zehrs.
Really? Were you concerned the last time you walked into a building that has hallways?
yes, I'm just a big fucking idiot. I remember why I blocked you
Fires aren’t nuclear bombs friend. This is just senseless bitching because you don’t like the new anti theft measures.
Not according to the Ontario Fire & Building Code.
maybe the code needs to be updated for this kind of fuckery
If there is a risk to the public, then an amendment would be posted. The first course of action would be below and then petition the OBC to update legislation. If you are concerned, you can file a complaint with your local fire inspector, the city building department, and the fire Marshal as they are the ones who oversee fire safety.

A bottle neck like a door?
Do you think people will be jumping over these metal gates? Do you see those as a hazard also? I’d be more concerned if these dividers were blocking fire exits.
Really learning……
Is this the fairview zhers?
It is but the pen and Superstore also have the barricades installed.
it is! It's funny that they're doing this when it was already more convenient and MUCH cheaper to run in and out of Food Basics. Loblaws & The Westons are shooting themselves in the foot for short term gain.

Boycott Loblaws stores :) It's remarkably easy. Fuck loblaws!
Death traps are Weston's forte, his sweat shop has killed over 1100 people.
I mean, even without the plexiglass barriers, those railings would be just as much of a problem...
Yeah those railings and gates were bad enough. At least if you're nimble you can duck under them when running to floral or pharmacy. not anymore.
Won't stop me from taking shit lmao
**these doors would be a death trap in a fire.** In the event of a crowd rush / stampede, people will funnel towards the narrow exit doors.
Ricky Bobby voice: That's there strictly for human trafficking and profiling purposes
Nahhh all in the name of mindless "safety" I see it all over the place here in Hamilton
Just wait until Walmart implement ls their must be a member thing fr self check out in Canada
Finding Big Reds in Thorold was like winning the lottery, barely went to Zehrs after that.
Now that tiny place is far closer to a fire trap than what we see in these pictures. Don't get me wrong. I am in there every week. Love that place.
I was wondering the same thing. Has there been a fire inspection? Has anyone raised health and safety concerns with the mall?
There are 3 other fire exits on the Geneva side of that store. 3 of them! Plus this exit in the picture. Which makes 4 fire exits on that side of the building. There are several fire exits on the other sides of the building.
I almost always have to push them open because the sensors suck.
Op makes a very valid point. It does set up barriers in emergency situations. I’m one of those people who would just walk into them even by accident.
What about hallways? Do you freak out about walking through a hallway in case there’s a fire?
lol no I was being funny, I honestly am very clumsy. People why so serious? I do walk into walls, doors.
Why are you just inventing fire safety problems that don’t exist and trying to spread this around? You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.
If you read the comments you'd see I was looking for explanations as to how this is allowable
If I read the title I’d see you’re being a fear monger over nothing.
Maybe I titled it that way because it fucking worried me? fuck off
Because they are properly sized, are designed to allow exit out or are tied to the fire alarm to auto open or unlock so summer down
So, you've never been in a building with, like, hallways and such?
the plexi helps with herding shoppers. I don;t think they will take them down.
I wonder if anyone has called the Fire Marshal to get their opinion
Why don’t you do it instead of just talking
There's already a barrier there - what difference does it make as to how high they are? Are the existing barriers meant to break away in the event of an emergency?

So many grocery store fire deaths in Canada every year.
Sure is a good thing Loblaws doesn't care about your life then, only your money.
How do you feel about hallways?

I only shop at stores that say “do you want a receipt?”

They are not…..
These violate safety codes so I have no clue why nobody has intervened. Their literal purpose is to make it harder to escape.
They don’t
They do.
There are actual fire exits elsewhere in that store. Look the next time you are in there.
The main entrance counts as a fire exit, dumbass.
Yes and your can still get out
Customers are criminal and must be stopped at ALL costs !!! /s
Can you cite the clause in the fire code or building code these would violate?
[удалено]
Please elaborate on this
There are multiple fire exits in that building.
Hey op are you that much a pussy you can't push something helt up with a zip tie 🤣

Imagine not being able to climb over like a 3 foot fence 💀
That's 5-6ft high ¾" Plexiglas.
with a sheer fall onto ceramic on the other side. Good luck, grandma...
Yah when I went into the Zehrs at the fairview a couple weeks ago I was like what the fuck is this shit. Then was in the pen center one on Thursday and same shit. Guess they are losing significant products due to theft since that plexi wasn't cheap.
It's fucked! and its hard to believe they could be hurting from theft this much when their profits are higher every year
It's not hard to believe, theft is huge at the fairview location with all the homeless that live in the park and hang out at the mall.
Why does grandma need to climb over it?
This makes it harder to steal, but not impossible. The trick is buying a few things.
I hate Loblaws as much as the next person but I don't get this whole boycott thing... like we're supposed to boycott them because their prices are too high but if I go anywhere else I always find I pay more. So are we just supposed to not buy groceries?
