A boycott targeting Loblaw is gaining momentum online, with what could be thousands of shoppers taking their money elsewhere in May.

also, how many times have you decided to visit a food store because it was busy?

Very, very often as a matter of fact. Have you never gotten curious and decided to check out a place because it was packed to the brim day after day?

a restaurant, maybe

a grocery store, what?

I've gone into a grocery store and left after filling up my cart because the line was comically long. Who would ever voluntarily go to a busier grocery store? I wish there were still 24hr grocery options so I could go in the middle of the night when it's quiet.

This might be cultural. But at least in Asia, if there's an unusual sized crowd somewhere, some people will join in just to see what's going on. Sales, festival, public show, etc.
