Also just what "disposable income" you will have left AFTER paying all your normal everyday bills in Regina.
I wish all you guys going to Loblaws the very best of luck but your all talking among yourselves and you need to ask the ex-UK guys who have been there for a right few years maybe since 2004 IF they would work in Regina for [email protected] that type of work for that kind of money!!!!!!
