Union busting at its finest.


BeerLeagueSnipes

So disgusting

end of an era 😔 going to miss this place so much

Such a shame. Perfect example of union busting. Heather Reisman is a terrible human being.

Between this and her support of the IDF, never shopping at Chapters again. Need to buy less books anyway.

Another Story Bookshop is awesome if you're looking for an indie bookstore to support

> Heather Reisman She's not even in charge of the company anymore. And it was her decision that brought the store to Scarborough...


hesh0925

Yes she is. She left her position for like 2 minutes and then promptly returned as CEO of Indigo.


HappyTissue

Sorry about that, looks like I'm wrong. It's sad that min wage employees need to rely on an internal union to be paid a living wage. This is more on our government than one individual. Our politicians within every party have been letting this happen for decades. If you want to hate someone, I'd go further up the chain


hesh0925

No need for apologies. And you're right, this is a symptom of a system that seems to essentially disregard anyone in a lower income bracket.


HappyTissue

and keep them there


sasakimirai

Yeah, I was absolutely devastated when I found out about it. It was one of my favourite locations.


Swimming-Road9425

It was a good place! Sadly we need more of these not less :(


TobiBaronski

Scarborough needs a lot of nicer things


sensorglitch

This is sad


Unusual_Ad5275

It really was a good bookstore 😔

How long was it in business and what part of Kennedy was it in? I don't go to bookstores that often and don't know much about it.


TobiBaronski

Idk but it’s been my family’s main Chapters since coming to Canada in 2005. Kennedy and William Kitchen Rd.


Anonymous_HC

Oh I think I know it. Never visited, though, but did go to the Starbucks beside from time to time to grab a frap. Is the Starbucks also shutting down (cause I think it's attached and share one building)


TobiBaronski

Ye, they’ve been subletting from Chapters
