"After having to drive quite a ways to the nearest T&T (now poisoned by Loblaws) or having to bear the reek of rotten seafood at T.Phat and EZ-Fresh (both closed for good, mercifully), it's refreshing to finally have a decent \"Asian\" grocery in Pickering. This place is like Al Supermarket's twin with a blue paint job instead of orange. \n\nThe other reviewers are correct so no need to repeat them all -- in summary, low prices and the weekly specials are excellent deals, great selection from everywhere, decent prepared food/food court area especially the bakery, and yes the typical surly/rude/non-existent service*\n \nThey are notorious for never having enough checkouts open and also closing checkout lines even when the lineups are 5 deep. If this already drives you nuts at Costco you'll go postal at Blue Sky! Also watch the signs before getting in a lineup as they like to screw around with you with \"cash only\", \"no cards\", \"credit/debit only\", \"express lane 6 items\" etc restrictions depending on how lazy the cashiers are.\n\nI probably would rate them a 3/5 but I'll give them an extra point for the entertainment I get from the \"Engrish\" / \"Chinglish\" signage. See my photos (especially the ones I took back in 2014) for a sampling. Today I had to laugh out loud when I saw Bay Rum (an aftershave) in with all the West Indian flavorings. I hope nobody actually tries to use that in a recipe! Thank you Blue Sky - you never disappoint me when I visit! Don't ever bother with spell check, grammar check, or having English speaking staff proof-read your signage, it'll ruin the atmosphere! Everybody needs a laugh and you supply that for free!\n\n* for friendlier service seek out non-Chinese staff. I find the Indians, Filipinos, and Middle-Easterners are much friendlier and speak perfect English. Obviously the management won't let them do the signage..."^^ . "4"^^ . . "6"^^ .
