The accident was horrific as seven high school students and the wife of the driver were killed in New Brunswick two years ago.
But the nightmare that killed eight people wasn't enough for Loblaws executives who decided to sue the driver of the bus because the nightmare accident happened to involve a Loblaws truck.
"Atlantic Wholesalers and Loblaws, divisions of the parent Ontario-based company Loblaw, were seeking $40,667.86 in damages. In addition, they wanted $847.50 for cleaning up, which included emptying fuel tanks and towing the transport truck from the crash site."
On Dec. 22 they filed the statement of claim against Wayne Lord and Bathurst Van Inc. but had second thoughts when they realized, hmm, not so cool.
But I don't think the company should get off the hook so easily and I've sent corporate an e-mail and will not go to our local Superstore any time soon. At least that's the plan.
I admit, boycotts are tedious and difficult, but Loblaws needs a kick in the shins at the least.
