But then again, there are lots of stuff that go bad before the "best before" date.
I've seen moldy cheese at Save-on. I bought fresh meat from Safeway that was packaged that day and when I got home, 10 min drive, the meat was stinking.
No need to talk about the crap from T&T and Superstore.

Well, something is definitely wrong there then... because under no circumstances should items from the grocery store have gone bad BEFORE the best before date... they should definitely err on the side of caution and have it such that the best before date is the EARLIEST it could start going bad...

Yeah, HR language requirements....I've constantly looked over their job site, and all position require fluent Chinese. It's either discrimination or maintaining strong employee communication depending on how you look at it.

boibuddha 07-25-2009 04:56 PM

They're cleaning crew is brown; at least at the Surrey Central Location.

Berzerker 07-25-2009 05:36 PM

Every time I read the title I think it says "Lowball buys T&T" and i interpret it as some asshole on RS got some real cheap dynamite.

most of the product in T&T are in Chinese, followed by English titles that's badly translated. I think that is why there is the Chinese language requirement.

really no point to hire people who can not communicate the majority of T&T's consumer base

Many people including myself would stop shopping at T&T if they hired people who COULDN'T speak Chinese. T&T is a Chinese supermarket, most of their products don't have a English name or one that no Chinese person understands (i.e. piss poor English translations). Workers who don't know Chinese wouldn't understand the products and communicate/help customers find what they're looking for.

In any case, people that don't speak Chinese or don't know Chinese cuisine wouldn't shop at T&T anyways. I do think that they should hire more workers who can speak English, but Chinese is a must.

mr_piggy 07-25-2009 06:18 PM

Also they ARE trying to look more multicultural. I've only seen South Asian janitors at T&T stores and they probably should hire more Caucasians to do jobs that don't require contact with customers.

asian_XL 07-25-2009 06:55 PM

chinese bosses are cheap shit...

chinese who can speak fluent chinese -> $8 an hour
Brown guy -> $5 an hr under the table deal probably lol

while we are at that... let's have white girls working in chinese restaurants, japanese restaurants and bubble tea restaurants.

Like that? Hope T&T doesn't get flooded with white products.

the reasoning behind it isnt the issue

i could come up with legitimate reasons for not hiring blacks or hiring only whites but that's not the point

and all i was saying anyways was im surprised no ones sued em ;)
