What's their normal excuse? That's just about the worst store website I know.
You get the results, click on one of them to have a better look, back click and you don't get back to the same results page to carry on. Among other things.

So true, so true. I hate their website so much and its been a complaint online from people for years.

Found a solution to the grocery time slot problem, Independent Grocery owned by Loblaws but franchises, but they have 2 stores in Vancouver, prices are higher but they have lots of pick up slots available.

Loblaws here charge 5% + min 5% tip for shopper and 3 other lots of fees one is $3.99 the other is around the same.

Poor old Boris.
Politics aside, I hope he pulls through.

It does amuse me to say that coming back after 6pm might be better. Umm, don't you think people will see the note and come back, in droves, after 6pm and overload things. You'd have thought they would have very solid infrastructure for their website.

just heard he got worse, yeh hope he gets thru it

Yes me too.

It just goes to show this virus seems to affect every individual differently......I don't think he has any underlying health conditions and is not old, and now this....... pretty scary.

They don't charge anything for in store pick up, delivery with Loblaws owned stores (Super Store, Independent, No Frills etc) is done via instacart and it was $3.99 charge + minimum 5% tip.

Save On charges a flat delivery fee as low as $3.98 I think it is, depends on time of day, but its really hard to get a delivery or pick up slot with them unless you can wait 2-3 weeks for groceries. Save On use their own hourly employees to delivery, and they are not allowed to accept tips, but make a decent wage at $17/hr.

Super Store has been impossible to get pick up slots, but did manage to get 1 delivery slot Saturday, but independent store I found is in downtown west end, so its likely its location, lack of parking, not as well known to the masses keeping it a hidden secret still.

$1,000 fine for sitting on park benches/chairs in Toronto.

Jerseygirl

$700 to $5,000 fines for not social distancing when outside.

We are lucky so far in BC, but BC Gov't seemed to start things earlier to try and prevent what is happening elsewhere.

I do think the early messages before spring break in BC telling people to avoid non-essential travel, to avoid travel outside of Canada including the US might have made a difference in BC.

The death reported today in BC, was a man in his 40's, and he died at home.

Did you see this? They should get danger money if it gets any worse. https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...-coronavirus-/

I dare not show my Wife, things aren't as bad up here thankfully.

He's a fat drunk in his mid-fifties. He smokes and is rumoured to have cocaine habit. Hardly a picture of health.
