| - I've been in this neighbourhood since this store was the Dirty Dominion, and when Metro took over, it morphed into the Smelly Metro.
It is awful. The milk section always smells like manure. Why? The smell is overwhelming and enough to turn anyone off dairy for good.
The produce is expensive and substandard. I've heard that they have trucks picking up produce down at the Food Terminal all the time, so what is the excuse?
When there is a good sale, those items are almost always out of stock. Cereal, cookies, yogurt - forget about it. Yes you can get a rain check, but that just means you have to come back again.
To be honest, I have managed to buy paper goods on sale, and that's why they get that one star.
And management. Well, I think Metro's policy is "We'll train the brains right out of you". The stock clerks have to use carts that block the aisles. The cashiers mostly do the best they can with the long lineups, but why not have more staff on cash?
There is a 24-hour SuperFresh across the street and an Urban Sobeys a couple of blocks away. Apparently that's not enough competition to spur this Smelly Metro to clean up its act.
