I guess Longos is going to see a increase in business

I'm surprised sobeys/​farm boy hasn't, but I doubt they have unions.

They can afford it. I rarely shop at Metro and the times I did, I'm surprised of how many people shop at that store. People will pay a premium to shop at Metro than at Food Basics.

I remember the time that, after two weeks on strike at Loblaws, the members of our local agreed to (what many felt was) a worse offer than one we'd already turned down, because people with families were having a hard time living on $20/​day in strike pay.

I shop at etobicoke metros regularly but will wait until the strike is over now to resume.
