| - I despise this Loblaws more than is reasonable for a person to hate a grocery store.
The prices are absolutely astounding. Simple, canned/boxed items with the same expiration dates go for several dollars more here than at No Frills. And yes, I know No Frills is crap, but there is no damn need for a box of crackers or can of soup to cost such ridiculous prices.
I like getting the ready chicken tenders from the Metro across from my school, where I pay $3 for a bunch of them. Once they were out at Metro so I resorted to Loblaws. Ordered TWO chicken tenders from the counter. The girl handed me the chicken, I laughed out loud, placed it back on the counter and walked away. It was over $8. For two chicken tenders. Seriously, just piss off.
Also, they are frequently out of very basic things. I can't count how many times I would come here looking for cottage cheese or bagged spinach/lettuce, only to find the ENTIRE section pillaged and empty. Are you even serious right now? You're going to charge me $6 for a bag of lettuce but you can't even keep it stocked?
They used to do some decent half-price things if you came at the right time, like packaged fresh fruit or hot items, but after the stupid fancy-ass renovation, those disappeared. So....are they just throwing away the fresh fruit at the end of the day now, so loathe are they to offer any sort of deal to their customers?
Eff this store. It's the only grocery store anywhere near me, but I now ride my bike ANYWHERE ELSE to get food.
