IGA - Supermarché Lipari Inc.

This IGA has been consistently disappointing. Prices are noticeably higher than at other grocery stores, and the store often feels cluttered and not particularly clean. The selection is limited, and the staff are generally unfriendly, unhelpful or seem uninterested. On one visit, I asked where to find a specific product and was sent to three different parts of the store. When I finally asked an employee to help show me, they rolled their eyes, which I found extremely rude and unprofessional. In the end, after they couldn’t find it either, I was told they don’t even carry that item at all.nnA few weeks ago, I went in looking for live lobster. When I asked at the fish counter, the guy at the counter said, “You don’t want those, they’re big and going to cost you $50+,” which felt pretty off-putting. I then looked at the pre-cooked lobsters and asked when they had been prepared. He said they were cooked 3 or 4 days ago and added that they don’t cook them on-site, but my husband pointed out that the package label showed the current date. That’s seriously concerning. I’ve since heard from others that this IGA has a reputation for re-dating products just to sell them, which is worrying and potentially unsafe.nnI’d be cautious shopping here. Between the poor service, questionable food labeling, and inflated prices, there are definitely better options elsewhere.

The short black woman cashier is super rude. She order customer around and if you question her of the nonsense she will immediately criticize you like you were her kid. Then when you point out her bad attitude she will distort the fact and saying customer give her attitude first. She should be fired long time ago. I don’t know how this kind of disrespectful person can still work in a customer service position.

Over priced, anything on sale is usually going bad or they are unhealthy. Go anywhere else and it is minimum 23% cheaper. They know that many people around can't go elsewhere so they inflate prices. They close the deli way before the announced closing time. The manager is beyond terrible she's the worst I've ever seen and when you ask her something she acts like it's bothering her.

Good local grocery store with decent selection of most things. Big kosher section if you’re into that and wine and beer as well. I moved away a few years ago now, and happy to see some of the same faces are still around. Hard to find loyal dedicated employees these days. The manager must be doing something right.nnPrices aren’t great, but probably in line with everything else these days.nnCheck it out!

I have no complaints about the items, it’s the cashiers that are the problem. If there is no hello, no eye contact, not even “do you have a scene card”, nothing, it just makes you feel small. These are customer facing jobs and should be treated as such. To whoever is a manager at this store, please do better or hire better people, because it just makes me not want to go to this store anymore. And btw, it didnt used to be like this, it’s changed over the past year or so… so I’m not exactly sure what happened.
