    Saying farewell to Zehrs will be easy but I could never give up my beloved Costco!

      Costco are known for treating their staff unusually well compared to other retailers, so I think that’s fine.

        My mom bought a 50% off rotisserie chicken from Zehrs yesterday that looked shrivelled and disgusting…7 dollars after the half off 😳. Managed to convince her to join the boycott at least!

        I’d wager it is, or was, a loss leader. Its position at the very end of the store has to be strategic to make you look at everything else on the way.
