Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	13. Income Taxes In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), each interim period is considered integral to the annual period and tax expense is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate. An entity is required to record income tax expense each quarter based on its annual effective tax rate estimated for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim period. Effective tax rate The Company’s effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended November 28, 2020 was 25.0% as compared to 22.1% for the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase in the effective tax rate in the thirteen weeks ended November 28, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was due to the release of certain tax reserves. Uncertain tax positions The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. During the thirteen weeks ended November 28, 2020, there were no material changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits or the amount accrued for interest and penalties. All U.S. and Canadian federal income tax statutes have lapsed for filings up to and including fiscal years 2015 and 2012, respectively. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations for periods prior to fiscal 2016. The Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months.
