    Do I have a fundamental misunderstanding of Canadian Tire? I thought they just sold tires. If I’m correct about that, why the backpack policy? Do they really think people are going to be able to surreptitiously shoplift tires?

      yes, you do lol

      it’s a home/tool/auto/garden/sports/outdoors store. a Walmart without food, regular daily wear clothes, or a tech dpmt.

      they’ve started locking down all sorts of shit in the past few years, it’s absurd. like, I’m not going to wait for an employee to unlock the case so I can get a box wrench. I’m just gonna go to a different store.

      I remember during covid started when they’d just made changes to prevent people from leaving the store without meandering through the 100ft long checkout queue. also absurd. I didn’t buy anything because you don’t have what I need, let me the fuck out, I’m supposed to not be up close to people but I have to squeeze past in a four foot wide aisle??
