- Note
- The Chocolate Shop was placed on the "We Do Not Patronize" list by the Vancouver and New Westminster District Trade Labor Council January 1931. The list was used as punishment and to place pressure on restaurants to make changes to working conditions. Trade union members were not to support the restaurant until such notice was given by the VNWDTLC . [https://omeka.crossingfonds.com/s/crossing-fonds/item/896]
