Sobeys is investigating one of its franchisees for selling disinfectant products directly to friends and family instead of putting the sought-after items on grocery store shelves for the public. Trisha Devoe is an occasional shopper at the Foodland in Sydney Mines, N.S., and had been waiting for the store to announce its weekly shipment of Lysol disinfectant spray and wipes on Facebook. "At a time when we should have been especially sensitive to the needs of everyone in our community, we took personal orders for disinfectant products that we kept aside for pick up at our home. All the Lysol products we had should have been put on the shelf at the store and made available to everyone there." Sobeys investigates 'clearly inappropriate' actions"We're investigating this issue urgently to understand the details of what has happened," a spokesperson for the national grocery store company said in an email.
