Shoppers Drug Mart

I like this Shoppers. I have staff members who go above and beyond to assist me. That being said. Last Christmas, I went to show the friendly lass who helps me a lot. And I mean, when Shoppers sometimes put a few sale items on the top shelf. I’m afraid of either knocking down said items or injuring myself. I went and bought her a Timmies card to show my appreciation to her and wished her happy Christmas and merry new year - all the best in 2024. That is what Christmas means to me. Family, friends and associates. I guess that was wrong. To date, I haven’t seen her, but the others are there…

First I'd like to say the staff was very helpful and patient despite being the only cashier for a giant line of people. Kudos to her! Other than that there were a some self-checkouts and a few required assistance from a cashier.. but there was no one else to help. There were also no bags at the self-checkouts. Please invest in humans.

Love this location. Always clean and the staff are professional. Bonnie, the manager of the beauty department is lovely and always helpful. The pharmacist, Abdeen is wonderful and the pharmacy staff are great too. They also retain staff which is great. Lucio, Despina, Abdeen and Bonnie have all been there for years. They have their own parking lot but on Thursdays, it is difficult to find a spot so I avoid going I think it’s because it’s senior’s day?. Wheelchair accessible.

I regularly go to this Shoppers Drug Mart location. Located close to Coxwell subway station, this is an easy Shoppers to get to if you need to quickly hop on and off the subway to get what's needed fellow Presto users know what I mean!.nnI see mixed reviews for this location and I think, much like many places, it really depends on the situation and the people involved. I can tell you from my experience that I've only had positive experiences here. No issues with the pharmacy or staff and while I'm not happy about the general prices at Shoppers, I'm mindful this is set up by the company at large and not this specific location.nnOverall, I would say this store has a pretty decent sized grocery section - you can get your milk, cream, eggs, cheese, bacon, bread some meats, frozen goods, pantry and kitchen items along with your typical snacks and treats. Store also has a functioning Canada Post. If you're in need of coffee, there is also a built in Tim Horton's that you can access in the store or through its outside window.nnWhat I do appreciate about this Shoppers Drug Mart are the staff that work there. There are some key staff who have been working at this Shoppers for years! Everyone has been pleasant and professional - zero issues overall.nnThis particular review is for Bonnie in the Beauty and Makeup department. If you're in need of makeup and someone who will interact with you sincerely and authentically, look for Bonnie. She's been at this Shoppers location for years and is just such a gem. She is always polite, friendly, and professional. Yesterday, Bonnie helped me to make my purchase - the item I wanted was re-packaged and I had a hard time figuring out what was what. She was patient and walked me through the product and even helped to make sure I had what was needed for the Family and Friends event that was taking place. She was easy to talk to, the shopping experience was no stress and I walked out a very happy customer.nnTo the owner of this Shoppers, keep up the good work in your hiring process! You are obviously doing something right with staff who have stayed for years. The lower staff turnover highlights some positive administrative and managerial skills in place at this particular location. Well done!

Moved into the Danforth area Jan. 2022 and made this Shoppers location my go to Pharmacy for prescriptions, vaccines, Post Office*, Senior's Day grocery/sundry shopping**. It was not long before my custom started to wane, except for occasional loss leaders. Collecting Optimum points no longer offsets the price gouging.nThis location lost a vaccine record, failed to record my new address, didn't honour an online appointment nor my place in a queue. I stop asking about anything at the pharmacy desk out of concern they would bill OHIP unnecessarily for something that used to be a complimentary service. The most helpful staff have been in the cosmetics department but encounters with staff stocking products and the cashiers are generally okay.nn*The Post Office I was able to 5-rate on its own on Google reviews. **Replaced with online ordering and delivery from Walmart and Amazon.
