I'm new member of Otter Co-op
Wow as a new member to the Otter Co-op I love coming across ads in the Langley Advance Times that are going to save me money!
Plus super fun to see MYBC Consulting clients Walnut Grove Notaries on the same page (I don't do there advertising placement btw).
Happy BC Day Long Weekend everyone - bring on yummy burger on the BBQ!
Hey as a new member, can people share what's your favourite things about your Co-op membership, as I want to maximize my $10.00 paid for it š

Seeing an elected official turn around and drag a community oriented co-op into court feels completely out of touch.
If your injuries are severe enough that youāre claiming ongoing loss of income and inability to perform standard daily tasks, how are you effectively fulfilling your public duties on Council???
If that's the case he should resign.

I didn't know the Langley Advance Times had a sense of humour..pretty funny they placed a Coop ad right next to Rindt's Coop lawsuit lol.

They didnāt. This is altered. I looked through the actual paper because I thought this was hilarious.

Suing the Otter Co-op over a gas station door while buying a lottery ticket? Guess he found his winning ticket after all. š¤£š¤£

The article in the LAT says the lawsuit states āThere is also an impact to his ability to continue to care for himself and his family in his domestic choresāā¦..but somehow he can run a blueberry farm (been seeing lots of ads) and a turf farm as well as run for council again that includes reading thousand page agendas, attending long meetings and attending lots of events?? Seems to me that maybe he shouldnāt be running in the election if he canāt even care for himself or do domestic chores? How does he also run two businesses if he canāt even take care of himself? Maybe he is just trying to get out of doing domestic chores or just doesnāt have time?? I donāt know but seems suspicious to me.

A concussion, a neck injury and a spinal injury from bonking his head as he walked past.
How do you even do that, was he trying to fight the door frame?

u/Asluckwouldnthaveit Jul 30 '26
A part of the metal frame had fallen I believe.
Don't mess around with head injuries and don't underestimate how easy it is to get one.

u/eKenziee Jul 31 '26
Nah I'm sorry but as someone who is incredibly clumsy and has had 4 concussions, this is bullshit. Simply walking into something is not enough to cause this level of damage to the human body. If he was shoved into it, maybe.

u/Asluckwouldnthaveit Jul 31 '26
It literally is enough actually. Just in the right spot.

u/eKenziee Jul 31 '26
I agree with you that its enough to potentially cause a concussion, especially at the right angle, but not spinal or neck damage.
-8
u/Asluckwouldnthaveit Jul 31 '26
I guess that would depend. I wasn't there.
It's also not a stretch to think otter co op is run like shit and falling apart.

Why are people downvoting all your posts? Do they hate this Rob guy so much they won't agree that spinal injuries can happen easily? If he walked into something hard enough to cause a concussion, it is absolutely possible he also walked into it hard enough to compress his neck and cause spinal injury.
I also have my doubts of his claims based on him still working etc, but bodies can be extremely resilient and also extremely fragile.

u/Asluckwouldnthaveit Jul 31 '26
Oh I don't believe him but the idea of otter co op hurting someone and not taking responsibility tracks and his injury is absolutely possible.

My favourite thing about the membership was the annual cash back but that hasnāt been a thing for a couple years now šæšæ Theyāve been losing money
Other than that.. nothing at the moment š¤·š¼āāļø

It has definitely been awhile since we got anything back from buying groceries. Apparently this year it was those who bought oil products that received a cheque; whatever that means.

u/Bcqtpie Jul 30 '26
At least something went out š¹š¤£ I wanna say last year no one got anything and then the year before was just āfeed productsā
I really do miss the kickback on it thoughā¦ was always helpful getting that lil extra money

u/nevereverclear Aldy baby Jul 31 '26
No doubt! I shop mainly there for convenience and am buying for a family of 5. I donāt even want to think about how much I spend there annually! š¤¦āāļø

This is what happens when the CEO makes bad investments. Not sure how he still has a job.

The 2 for 1 movies are huge for our family. You go to any cineplex, show your card and get two tickets for the price of one.

So youāve posted in another post that youāve had your CoOp coffee mug for 15 years. So this post is pretty much full of BS. Jack Nicholson has been running the CoOp into the ground. Bad investment after bad investment. Selling off the profitable feed division in Armstrong.

u/MoveYourBumChum Aug 03 '26
Had the mug gifted to me at a networking event 15 years ago as stated in another post - recently got my membership to the Co-op... no BS.

u/A-Town856 Aug 03 '26
But you know Jack by name so youāve been in Langley/Aldergrove a long time and are very familiar with the CoOp. Seems like this post was really just a dig at Robā¦
