TORONTO — Some Canadian shoppers may soon receive cash from a class-action lawsuit that accused Loblaw Cos. Ltd. and its parent company George Weston Ltd. of engaging in an industry-wide scheme to fix the price of bread.
in hopes of making amends with customers who paid about $1.50 more per loaf of bread.
Infuriating.
If I were to do some quick math:
20 years of this fraud = 1040 weeks.
My family used to buy 2–3 loaves of bread per week from their stores, so low-balling it would be around 2000 loaves.
At $1.50, they owe me well over $3000. And that doesn’t include interest over 20 years, which you better believe they’d charge consumers if money was owed to them.
