Government to blame for self check outs
I am totally frustrated at the majority of B.C. voters that voted in a NDP majority government here in B.C. Why? I was shopping at our local Real Canadian Superstore at 4 p.m. in the afternoon.
There are 11 check out locations. Only three were open.
There are two reasons for this. One is the Employer Health Care Tax that the NDP created.
This is a 1.95 per cent tax on a employers’ total wages paid out in a given year.
Two is the yearly increase of the minimum wage.
All employers now have less check out locations open to avoid paying more in the Employer Heath Care Tax. Everywhere you go now, you have to line up to pay for your purchases. Do not blame the merchants. The blame lies totally with our NDP government.
More self check out counters are being created to avoid paying additional taxes.
I myself will not use a self check counter, because that is taking away jobs from the people.
Unbelievable!
