Food Basics

I wish to thank Mahjira operator Cash 5 on Jan 30 or Jan 31st. I am in an electric power chair disabled, she helped me in between other customers to get my groceries packed and got them on my chair so I could make my Para Transpo Ride. Even though policy is pack it yourself. She Cared about helping the disabled. I am very grateful for this. Please pass this on to her. as you have no email to contact the manager. She so deserves a good comment on her record. Food Basics 1465 Merivale Rd. Unit 1. (near Baseline Road) (please excuse the phonetic spelling of her name).

Every time I visit here, shopping carts are stored inside at the entrance and dry. Prices are good, parking lot is big. Staff are nice.Comparing this place to the FreshCo near here, I have to give it a 5 star.

This place always seems to be in major transition. There are boxes and carts everywhere no matter what day or time I go. They are often out of key items. The produce section is usually in the process of being organized because customers seem to regularly destroy the nice displays. The floor staff are always nice and helpful but I have never had a friendly cashier.

This is a good place to buy the food with cheaper prices. I like some Italian Long bread.

A beautiful market and contains everything you need, but the management is not good. Sometimes a customer comes and says that he did not find good treatment from the employees. Should the employee laugh and simplify you just because you are a customer? You must take what you need and go. This customer had a difficult day, so he lied and wrote that he did not find a good treatment..I think that they should work on the management well as well and trust their employees because everything is under the cameras. The employee stands smiling asked if you find everything is okay. They try to do as much as they can so don't come and tell them that you didn't find a good treatment Sometimes the people they need to be nice☝️I wanna add after this comment they fired me because I wrote this comment and I wrote about the management and what happening exactly to the employees in there but guess what? I don't need a horrible place like this one so I can work on it. I find a good place for me and I'm going to start working again and it's not an honor to serve in food basic terrible and horrible experience and black spot on my career I will try to clean it I don't want to repeat it again

Clean low priced focused store, that still has the premium offering of rotisserie chicken.

I had a very bad experience at this store. I fear it happening to someone else. someone could potentially get hurt. I went into the to look for a specific ziplock container. that no stores seem to have, this store was my last hope. I walked in the front door and didn't touch anything in the store with my hands, I had a Wal-Mart shopping bag in my hand with purchases from other stores in it. I had receipts. to make a long story short 2 creepy dudes from the meat department followed me out of the store and demanded I show them what was in my bag. I laughed because it seemed funny I asked you're joking right? they said no. I dumped the contents of my bag on the ground and told them to take a look. immediately they said no. I'm like why? they said they didn't expect that. please be careful shopping here. dumb and dumber might follow you around the store ultra creepily and ask to check out your belongings even though they didn't see you touch anything. this store requires proper security that knows what they're doing.. who knows what would have happened if I wasn't such a C. I informed the head office that the store is potentially dangerous for customers. they were nice.. the store manager called me to tell me she was so saaaawwwy it felt patronizing. so if you shop here make sure you make it very obvious you aren't shoplifting (hands in the air sleeves rolled up and do not carry a shopping bag!

Large crowds taking advantage of the great deals. Self-checkout went fast.

Just did a instacart order from the Merivale road store. Many items on sale, not available at all, pork patties, none at all in the store. The delivery person asked a worker to check in back and there was none. Produce was poor, soft, squishy cherries. How can they attrack customers with a store like this, sadly not instacarts fault for this. You need to improve if you want repeat business.

It was a good experience until I went to the fruits section on that day..but the rest was good. The price is good.
