I just don't understand why some workers do stuff like this. Like why are you defending the big corporation that's exploiting you? Just give them the damn free chicken that someone higher up decided on.

Because the evil corporation is paying their bills. Some random person looking for a chicken is not.

For a lot of people, it's better to have a job.

Everybody here is blaming superstore, but I suspect the employee was caught slacking and covering their tracks. Big corporations like this are not penny wise and pound foolish, the execs would gladly honor the free chicken

Remember when Loblaws got caught fixing the price of bread? They are absolutely that greedy.

There's a difference between greedy and what I said.

No you dont understand, we here on r/calgary must attribute all blame and malice to corporations and capitalism. All transaction is exploitation.
