Loblaw is launching a pilot program that will see employees at two Calgary locations don body-worn cameras in an effort to increase safety.
“Violent encounters at retail locations across the country have increased dramatically in recent years,” explained Loblaw Companies Ltd. in a statement to CTV News.
“By piloting body cameras, we continue to do what we can to protect our customers and team.”
The participating Calgary stores are the Real Canadian Superstore in the East Village on Sixth Avenue S.E., and the Shoppers Drug Mart next door.
Yup. I worked for them many years ago. The shit I saw made me forego ever shopping there again.
Can you expand on that thx?
I worked there over 35 years ago so what I saw then is no longer valid now. I just don’t shop there now because they’re even worse assholes than back then.
At the time tho, what are the highlights of shitty that made you feel like that? Totally believe it but just wanna hear the origin haha
I worked there less long ago and they were still bad, and indeed worse now. Some of the lifers are still there and still nice people, but man can you ever tell by looking how miserable they have been.
