| - By Calgary's standards, their poutine is edible, and I would've had no problem giving them 5 stars, however... their pickles, which are quite popular, and worth the $1.00 each, as they are/were LARGE authentic deli-style sour pickles, however during my recent visit, I purchased 5 pickles at $1.00 each, and as the pickles were being pulled out of the large glass jar behind the counter, I noticed that the pickles looked quite small (compared to how they normally look), less than half of their normal size, however I still purchased them. When I got home, I tasted one, and discovered that not only were they smaller than normal, they tasted like regular dill pickles, like the ones you would get from a jar at the supermarket (ie; NOT deli-style, and certainly not large).
Shame on me for not questioning their size and authenticity at The Big Cheese in Calgary, and SHAME ON THE BIG CHEESE IN CALGARY, for not only trying to pass off these smaller generic pickles as their usual large authentic deli-style sour pickles, but for also charging the full $1.00. It just seems like a silly way to tarnish your "brand". It is also interesting to note that this was also posted on their Facebook page, and was deleted.
It's not the money, it's the PRINCIPLE :(
