The futility of Canadian Tire

I've never, ever liked Canadian Tire. I have no idea why. 
Maybe it is the moronic people they used to have in their commercials that stopped me from going (I stopped drinking Keith's beer for the same reason), but I had to set foot in it once again to get an emergency bike for Ottawacker Jr last week. Needless to say, it was of such poor quality, it needed repairing already.
They were nice enough about it - and you can see in their eyes they know the score.
This cart return really sums up the place for me though. Meaningless. Desperate. Soul-sappingly naff.
