For shame Dominion

So I popped into Dominion this afternoon to pick up some cereal as I ran out this morning. It's in a mall near a few seniors residences, so there are frequently tons of seniors there. (why I mention this will become clear shortly) I snag my Jumbo box of Special K Red Berries and get in line. I wait patiently in line for 10 minutes, then it's my turn. The cashier scans the cereal, and the price comes up...$7.49. Whoa, hold on a minute! $7.49? That's a whole $1.00 and change more than anywhere else, INCLUDING Loblaw's, which I thought was normally more expensive than Dominion. I left that box of cereal right there at the cash register and walked out, because that was just outrageous. I could not believe that Dominion is ripping off customers (and all those seniors on fixed incomes) like that. Sure, I can afford to go to another grocery store and buy it for $6.59, hell, I can even go to Wal-Mart and pick it up for $6.49, but what about the seniors who can't?

For shame Dominion, ripping off the little old ladies and granddads who come to your store out of convenience. For shame.
