    I’m glad I noticed this was The Beaverton before I went and burned down the local Superstore.

    Isn’t a for profit food bank just a grocery store?

      Yes, but I’m sure there’s some tax benefit to calling it a food bank. #RecordProfits

    I legitimately thought it was a foodbank that required proof of poorness somehow and charged a little above cost(don’t worry I hear Loblaws is also the supplier so they’ll just inflate the cost).

    My hopes are dashed upon the rocks such that seeing it was a Bearverton article sparked no joy in me.
