Overpriced and underwhelming.
The meat section is often bare. Fruit and vege are average quality at best. Shelves are understocked more often than not, especially the staples like bread, and we've noticed they get new products far later than any other stores. Overall a very dissapointing experience, would recommend shopping elsewhere.

I had a really rude checkout girl on the self checkout. I went in to buy tampons because I just got my period. One item she pushes a man with a full basket of groceries in front of me because he went to the wrong machine. She couldn't wait the 20 seconds for me to buy my tampons leaving me bleeding into my underwear. Didn't care after I tried to explain just ignored me. Just an utter rude person.

Always a pleasant experience to shop here like the wide aisles and spacious feel of the store. Slightly disappointed the deli was closed so early today? Does it normally close at 7:30? Seems early since people might still grab things for a quick dinner or weekday lunches

Every time I come in, the products I want there is nothing on the shelf. The self serve checkouts are the slowest thing which is why there is lines every time you go to checkout. Store seriously needs to invest in some better user friendly equipment and actually have staff to fill the shelves.

I go to self service checkouts so there is no double handling of my food. There is no max at self service and if this is what you want put a sign up! To the young lady today to tell me next time go to an operated checkout don’t be so rude! There were no lines! Should’ve just gone to Pak n Save even tho I’m a rewards and weekly shopper. Needless to say my money isn’t well received here.
