Metro

I must have gone in at a bad time. I was looking for a 2L carton of milk and they only had 5 remaining that expire next week. They didn't have any 1L milk at a reasonable price so I went shopping for other items. In this store you need to bring your own bags to which I keep forgetting the bring. I normally only order what I can carry anyways but I definitely got some strange looks after paying at the machines when I'm walking out of the store with loose items in hand.

Good produce, nice prepared foods, friendly staff. Parking decent. The pizza is oven fired ans delish. Order one, do a little shopping for drinks, sides, dessert, and come back to pick it up hot and fresh. A perfectly timed meal pickup!

Edit: Now that the pandemic is over they seem to have updated their return policy as we were able to return a spoiled item with no hassle (I really want to stop shopping here but it's right across the street which comes in handy sometimes).Edit: We've purchased grassfed beef several times from here and it turned out to be spoiled. In the past it could be returned so it was worth the risk, but now they have a zero returns policy and you're basically stuck with your spoiled meat. In-store Management says they haven't been informed of any process to reimburse customers in this situation, and won't reimburse once you've left the store with the purchase. Customer Care replied to my email inquiry that it's up to the store to decide about reimbursing you. I'm just no longer buying meat here (meat I get from Farm Boy and Loblaws never spoils, just Metro for some reason).Nice to have close for incidental shops but the produce always spoils way faster than the produce we get from Farm Boy or the farmers market. And the organic red potatoes are always green inside.

I've been forced to use self checkout with no alternative many times. Poor service. Even when pregnant and was having difficulty on my own they would not open a cash. They have at least 5 cashes and never seem to open more than 1 if lucky... even when a line forms. Very frustrating.

1 star for their prepared meals sections. I ordered some potato wedges and it felt like I was biting into rocks! They were stone cold and so hard. Their roasted chicken was also overly sweet for some reason? This has happened on multiple occasions with their hot food section. Loblaws’ prepared meals are much more pleasant.

Well stocked. Not too busy. No paper bags when I went in. Forgot my reusable bags. Cost me to buy more reusable bags.

Great balance of size and selection. Don't expect to shop there within 45 minutes of closing though - they start to pack away food very early.

I like this store, I always do my Mom's groceries there for her. It is clean and well stocked with everything you need. I like the meat dept there, plus they have a lottery kiosk.

$14.99 for a watermelon, Metro is way over priced. People should boycott Metro for a couple of months.
