Please support Chapman's between Covid and Tariffs. These guys have been doing the right thing.

TBH I don't like their ice cream. However, this company always comes to the plate for their employees and the country. So I will still buy a pint here and there.

Their lactose free is good

But they aren’t good to their employees, paying below market rate and surveillance that puts Amazon to shame lets them have a lot more flexibility

Yeah, they lean on “Markdale is cheaper than Toronto”

[–] Gnumile@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You consider that being bad to their employees?

It doesn’t dispute anything I said

We started buying only Chapman's after talking to a trucker who delivered to them for years and had lots of great things to say about how they operated and the quality of ingredients. Myself, I think it's the best industrial scale brand available to us.

I feel the same, but after reading about how they have been being a stand-up Canadian company, I will continue to buy this through our troubling times.

BTW these premium flavors are actually quite good.

I'll give those a try!
