Mini-Rant: Loblaws is hiding beans.

Galen Weston Jr

Problem: Loblaws @ Yonge & Empress.

I walked up and down almost every aisle in search of canned kidney beans today. Sorry Galen - I love Loblaws, but this was a huge pain in the ass.

I'd like to know why all the canned goods are divided into so many categories among various aisles! Also, the hanging signage doesn't tell you what's in the aisle. Shouldn't the canned beans be with the canned lentils and / or canned vegetables?? Loblaws must be making up their own categories, because no one else merchandises this way.

My attempts: 

Canned Vegetables? No - diced tomatoes, carrots, peas, beets, string beans...

Mexican Products? No - refried beans, taco fixings...

Pasta and Rice? No - sidekicks, dry lentils, rice, pasta, pasta sauces, pizza sauces...

Soups? No - vertical soup dispensers, Chunky, Campbells...

Canned Meat? No - Zoodles, Beefaroni, canned lentils (??)...

I has a ton of groceries on my shoulder, and I was so angry by the time I walked up and down the aisles for the 3rd time that I just gave up.

Where the hell do they put the beans? Did I completely miss them? I decided to head to the check out minus any kidney beans and picked them up at Rabba on the way home. Anger. Back to Grocery Gateway.
