| - I won't deny that this mall has everything - and when I say "everything" I mean both the "everything" one needs out of convenience (Wal*Mart, No Frills, Rogers Wireless, Tim Hortons etc...) and the other "everything" (Toys 'R' Us, The Beers Store and various shoe stores). But if I may give you a word of advice, from me to you, plan what you need from that place, go in and get out.
Admittedly, I haven't been there in a while simply based on so many bad experiences there, all involving the Wal*Mart and all involving mediocre at best service. And I use the term "service" loosely.
Visit #1 (1998)
Employees playing hide and seek in the hanging floor rugs and completely ignoring me and my mother (this is before I lived here).
Visit #2 (2004)
Having just moved to Toronto, was treated very rudely by cashier.
Visit #3 (2004)
Two visits in one year? Clearly I'm a glutton for punishment. Actually, I had just moved into a new and bigger apartment and my mom was visiting and insisted on buying me stuff for my new place. Same rude service and filthy, cluttered aisles.
Visit #4 (2007 - last visit)
My sister stayed with me after our trip to Paris and had to deal with Wal*Mart's photo lab. This was the last straw: rude customer service who insisted the kiosk was working even though the screen was clearly black, and also told us the photos would be ready in a day, then it was two days, then three and denied telling us otherwise.
No place that is associated with that Wal*Mart (yes, that unfortunately means the other stores in the mall) will ever get my money. When at all possible, I like to spit in its general direction from time to time.
