Went into the store at 1:30 to get two items, the lines were long jammed full of huge buggies. I decided to leave but every means of leaving had been blocked: The checkout lanes were full of people and buggies, and the ones not in use were literally barricaded with chains and multiple big buggies. The only way to leave was through the entrance which has alarmed swinging gates. I pushed the gates open and the alarms went off, but whatever they designed it not me. They hate petty thieves so much they are forcing people to stay inside their building with no means of leaving. At least Wal-Mart has big areas between checkout counters for people to leave if they do not make a purchase. If you're claustrophobic or have anxiety of being trapped stay away from their stores. But also their prices are nearing on par with Save-on or Safeway now for many items. Bad store, bad company. Avoid.

If thus is si contact the fire department. Sounds like a fire hazard.
Real Canadian Superstore has turned shopping into an escape room challenge! You've certainly mastered the art of strategic exits, even if it involved setting off alarms. Who knew buying a couple of items could feel like navigating a labyrinth? At least you've proven you can outsmart their exit strategy, even if it was unintentionally. With your ability to think on your feet, you're well-prepared for whatever retail adventures come next. Maybe next time, they'll roll out the red carpet instead of barricades. Stay sharp, and don't let them trap you again!
