  • 9:50pm. Saturday night. Thirsty in Scarborough. I wanted grape juice. All the other supermarkets are closed (or closing) and Metro seemed like a far drive for my lazy friend and I. So she says, "let's stop at the Superstore". I said "sure", thinking Superstore was code for where all Scarboroughnians go when things close early. I went in for juice. It was supposed to take 10 minutes. I came out an hour later with juice...and pillows. I just went in for juice! Canadian Superstore is like a PC supermarket masquerading as a Costco. It's huge, it's got almost everything under the sun and they make you buy stuff if you have a PC account. Okay, they don't really make you, but I have a PC account and it's not just coincidence that I was in a Superstore AND needed pillows at a time when my shopping resolve was low. I bought microfibre gel pillows. I've never seen them anywhere else so I was amazed to find pillows that felt down-filled but were not actually down filled. If you've ever suffered constant asthma attacks in your sleep, you'd know how important that difference is. After picking up the pillows, I then had a conscience war about whether to pick up luxury hotel-style sheets. I'm telling you, it was PC mind control in the Superstore!! However, after realizing I had strayed from my purpose, it took forever to find juice. Apparently pop, energy drinks/water and fruit juice will NOT be in the same aisle. They are all in 3 separate aisles. And when we asked the sales associate, he answered "aisle 3" like we should've known that. I almost felt like telling him, "hey, I'm not a Scarboroughnian, I don't come here everyday after 9pm!" Even our cashier didn't seem happy to help. She didn't say a word to us. Even when I told her I was paying by debit, I had to ask her if I could swipe because she didn't say anything. Nothing is priced any better than most PC stores. My juice would've cost the same at No Frills. But since buying those pillows, I haven't woken up with my neck sore for the first time in months. They get 5 stars for that. I would've given more if it wasn't so big and deceiving, with unenthusiastic employees. In the end, the whole experience left me slightly dumbfounded. Plus, the dog we had left in the freezing car for the supposed 10 minutes seemed very angry at us.
