Peter's No Frills

Large NoFrills with great selection; tons of free parking outside. Also, selling wine, beer and cider. Stock up now!

Have been shopping in the store for 4 years and the customer service there is nonexistent. Store employees are poorly mannered, they never greet customers, aren’t helpful when you’re trying to find certain items, cashiers look hostile and speak in a rude manner, ignore customers. Today a cashier has refused to do his job and help me after I, and other people in the line have been waiting for 10 minutes because the store was closing at 9pm and it was 8:53pm. When I go and wait for the cashier to help me I expect to be helped by them, so I asked him nicely, if he could still help me since I’ve been waiting and only had 2 items. He replied in a disrespectful manner that he’s going home and closing the cash register, and sent me to the self check out, which also had a lineup. I pointed out that it’s not 9pm yet, to which he aggressively yelled “are you my boss?! You’re not my boss!!! Do you want to be my boss?? Go to the self checkout!!”nnThat is not acceptable. Dear No Frills manager, please train your employees on how to properly interact with customers. Furthermore, if the store is open until 9pm and there are customers inside even past the time, you are still obligated to help them, and not just send them to the self checkout.

The church I volunteer at burned to the ground last week. We decided that despite everything going on we needed to provide our monthly dinner for the homeless on June 16. We needed bread to make sandwiches. I went to my local No Frills and saw Victor who offered sympathy, hugs and a 200.00 gift certificate. He and Linda were amazing. They were compassionate, caring and showed what community was all about. In these days of anger and frustration this store came forward and donated, without question, their time and their services. Their kindness will not be forgotten. Thank you.

I have been shopping here ever since they opened. Overall a great store and great deals at times. But over the last few weeks I have purchased some pre packaged meats. Once without noticing the chicken breast best before date was the same day I purchased it. The second time butterfly pork chops still with one the best before date. But both were slightly slimy and had a slight odour. Not sure what has been happening but this trend it disconcerting. Hope the store is not taking a turn for the worse. Also the new price labels on the shelves are more difficult to read and some are in difficult positions to even see especially for my parents who also frequent the store.

Prices go up and stock variety goes down. I have visited every week for 2 years and for the last MONTH they have had no PC salted top crackers which incidentally at $3.00! Is are the CHEAPEST crackers they carry even more than the no name brand. The same goes for the $1.97 english muffins, always seem to be out but they always have plenty of their super expensive alternative brand which they ALSO own. Every trip I return with less and less as they seem to stop carrying anything that is a good price while continuing to hike up their prices.nnThe self checkouts are a nightmare with their adding of scales which repeatedly don’t read the products which makes everything take forever. Good luck trying to get the attention of the barley conscious staff to help when you need it, I have never left this store without feeling frustrated in months.
