For those that eat meat sticks products. Is Food Basics is misleading/cheating

For those that eat meat sticks products. Is Food Basics is misleading/cheating their customers, you decide. It took a few of us in the store yesterday to catch what was up but when we did we were not impressed. The are advertising 500 gr original meet sticks for the sale price but no original flavor available just a variety of others in smaller grams. I wonder how many people got charged for 500 grams when they only received 300 grams. To some of you it may not be a big deal but if they doing this kind of stuff what else are they doing? Oh wait they also adversities our beautiful Canadian blueberries on sale but only U.S. barries available. So where are the Canadian berries or where are the products you advertising is my question 🤔 and the answer from staff. Not my job/problem I just work here!!!! Are customers not important anymore, is common courtesy no longer a thing!!!! Source

We just had an 11 year old rob us. He is our neighbour’s kid

We just had an 11 year old rob us. He is our neighbour's kid. He has been to our kids birthday parties. But because he's under 12 we can't charge him and his mom is on ODSP so if we took them to small claims we wouldn't get anything anyways. We installed a camera after we had our garage broken into May 12. We are around the St.Vincent Grove street area. Cops came and at 10:30pm she retrieved the backpack. This kid has been hanging out with a kid that lives at Peel and Wellington in the townhouse where apparently the older brother steals and keeps stuff in a garage. We are still missing family ring -4 generations handed down and $171 but did get back our Bose speaker and old cell phone. Now, these kids always roam the streets no adult supervision. They are bored I get it. It says if you are ODSP if someone in your care is in custody you have to notify your caseworker. But since he's not in custody because of his age, she doesn't have to let them know. This is the 2nd time that …

I want to give a HUGE shoutout and thank you to Zehrs for this absolutely phenom

I want to give a HUGE shoutout and thank you to Zehrs for this absolutely phenomenal donation of school snacks for the Fresh Food Weekly School Snacks Food Drive! Today literally felt like Christmas! Thank you so much!! 🙏❤️👏 These school snacks are going to be given to low-income families living here in #Barrie on Sept. 1st! Not too long ago, I was speaking to an elementary school teacher in Orangeville and she told me that as kids were coming back to school after the pandemic lockdowns, more and more children were coming to school with absolutely no lunches at all. Since then, the prices of all things have gone way up and I can only imagine how many children will be coming to school with no lunches this year. Things are way worse now then they were only a few months ago and the cost of food literally keeps rising! If you would like to make a school snacks donation, we are accepting non-refrigerated school snacks including juice boxes, cookies, crackers, fruit roll ups, r…

Has anyone had issues with Costco gas causing car issues?

Has anyone had issues with Costco gas causing car issues? Twice now we’ve had issues after filling up at Costco, once in Orillia and once in Barrie. Shortly afterwards our car started acting funny, threatening to stall, check engine light coming on, and eventually stalling and not starting. Had the car towed to the dealership at one point and they said we had bad gas. Source
