| - What can I say, Sobeys is Sobeys!
Conveniently this Sobeys is close to my house, so I pop in quite frequently. Probably about 4-5 times a week. The produce is always very fresh. I know there is a larger chain grocery store that you actually can't visit on Saturdays because the produce department turns into a hot mess, but that isn't the case with this Sobeys.
I appreciate the staff here, they are pretty efficient and friendly. The younger staff are super unprofessional, talking over the customer with the bag boy, but heck, that was me 10 years ago, I can't complain. I appreciate the self-serve checkouts during supper hour as that is when Sobeys peaks in business. Make sure you get your Sobeys Card ready when using the self-serve checkouts. They'll annoy the piss out of you. You have to scan your card in the beginning to continue. So you typically will have people in line watching you frantically shuffle through your wallet looking for that green card because you can't start scanning without it. (unless you just say you're not a member, which I BELIEVE won't affect the prices.)
They have recently re-modeled the store which I think works out much better.
The seafood and meat department isn't as big or as helpful as I would like, but they do have great prices on their meats, just not their chicken.
This Sobeys is also missing a PHARMACY. So if you need to refill a prescription, or have a question regarding cold remedies, I suggest you hit up REXALL or SHOPPERS just a KM or so away.
