| Metro has good sales from time to time like any other store however if you keep track of what is a good and bad price then you'll know when to spend and when shop around the bend. |

Alicia Bennet - NOT FRESHcommented on Apr 18 2012 4:58PM |
| Walter, those baked goods that you think are fresh are NEVER fresh. All Metro bakeries now get all of their products in FROZEN. Either they just thaw it out, or they re-heat it in their ovens to give it that 'just-baked' impression. Seriously, take a look around the bakery (as well as the whole store in general) and you will notice that there are very few employees there now. The company doesn't care about paying an actual baker to BAKE if there are corners that can be cut, thus money saved. Metro is a big joke now, and its no wonder everyone bad mouths that company. I mostly shop at independant supermarkets now, because at least I know they still do things properly there. And wouldn't you know it, there are actually workers to be found inside their stores! |
Walter Velichko - Bakerycommented on Apr 7 2012 5:39AM |

| Just read some of the rants against Metro here, and you'll see how inarticulate, spiteful and uneloquent they are. People of that ilk could not dissuade me! |
Alicia Gordon - PATHETICcommented on Dec 12 2011 5:31PM |
| Metro just plain sucks! Everyone knows it by now, just how dirty and filthy this company (more like a criminal empire) really is. Ask anyone, even their own employees won't hesitate to tell you what they really think of the very company they "work" for. |
Dave - Wierd or what?commented on Dec 9 2011 12:06PM |

| Metro Sucks! I've never been to a supermarket before that is way beyond understaffed. Even the employees won't hesitate to tell you how much they hate it there. |
SCOTT - SALES ON ITEMScommented on Oct 11 2011 7:14AM |
| Paper towels are 1.99 at Shoppers, Tissue Paper is also 3.99 at shoppers, bread and milk always much cheaper at shoppers, butter, why pay 5.29 at metro when its always 2.99 at shoppers. ice cream is cheaper at shoppers. sunny food market you can get vegetables and fruits cheaper. 5 bags of veggies for 20 dollars cheaper themn metro. keep visiting SCOTT THE CAPED PRICING CRUSADER WHO IS HATED BY CAPITALIST PIGS for further special pricing. |
Scott - Susan Why Dont YOU get a life?commented on Oct 11 2011 7:09AM |
| Susan, why dont YOU get a life. If I want to inform the public of best pricing and goods I will and I do not need to wear a cape to do so. Maybe you need to wear a cape over your head to hide your stupidity even further. As for anger issues, I do not need your fortune cookie philosophy or pop psychology. I will continue to inform and educate and share with others on where to get the best prices for goods that they pay for out of their money. You are one person and if you do not care about how much money you spend or save, thats your problem so do not bother to read my posts or respond to them because only intelligent people have any intelligent responses and you are not one of them. |
Susan - Scott the Price Crusader- Get a LIFE!!!commented on Oct 5 2011 1:42PM |
| Hey Scott...why so upset? Give your head a shake!!! Make that TWO! You have some anger issues my friend. Life just ain't THAT BAD! There's a lot of stuff going on in the world these days. Don't make it your main focus in life to be a "Price Crusader". We understand we can go to "no frills, wal-mart, dollar store...". Okay...we get it! Thanks for pointing out the obvious!!! Keep up the good work Scooter!!! Next time, please wear a "cape" so that we (those who are not forced against our will to shop at Metro) can identify you and give you a "high five"!!! Thanks scoots! |
Scott - Susan: Are You Sure You Are University Educated?commented on Oct 3 2011 12:01PM |
| Are you sure you completed your degree? If you did in fact graduate. Do you read the news? Alot of people in Toronto are unemployed and living below the poverty line. This is why food banks are around. Even Metro takes food donations for those who cannot afford their prices or the cost of food. I think your comment directed towards Mia is both inappropriate and lacks any social awareness or intelligence about childrens health or about health and safety in general. It does not matter if its a store or a food bank. You and the other posters here are missing the point. Not everyone has an income to shop at Metro, Loblaws, Longos etc. Not everyone has that luxury or choice. Even people who take home an honest weeks pay have very little money for food even basic staples. My intention was to help people save some money. Perhaps thats not important to you because your income is disposable or you like others just do not care. I am not a former employee of Metro and so what if I was that does not mean that I have no right to an opinion or to inform customers as to where to get an item cheaper. And if you and other posters do not like my opinion, just go ** yourself and the problem will be solved. |
Susan - Scott --- Gimme a breakcommented on Sep 25 2011 9:47PM |
| You say that the Food Bank has more regulations and food control??? I used to "volunteer" at the Food Bank when i was in university...gimme a break! We picked up spoiled fruits and leftovers from bakeries, St. Lawrence Market...not sure where you're standard of living is at...but it wasn't exactly "fresh" as per your claim. I love your enthusiasm to "volunteer" at the food bank, but leave Metro alone. If you don't shop there, why you bashing them? Former employee? We all understand that its' "competative pricing"; they won't be the cheapest. No problem...we CHOOSE to shop there. You don't like it? Go somewhere else. My friends and I love its quality, 24 hours and cleanliness...If you like eating "spoiled" food, then joing Mama Mia! |
Susan - M.MIA is irresponsible and childishcommented on Sep 25 2011 9:40PM |
| You will never go back to Metro? LOL! Love how people think they have sooo much individual power. I'm sure you're cheap business tactics at Metro will SAVE them money. I love how you say it wasn't about the money, yet waited for 2 days to hear a response from them...get a grip honey...and then get a life! Looking for a million bucks from soiled milk? Try working for a living. I love Metro for its cleanliness, hours and terrific locations. Here's a tip for you MIKA...don't cry over spilt milk babes! |
Not Scott - lol Scootercommented on Sep 24 2011 2:07AM |
| Scott I trust that you get paid what you're worth at the food bank. You hand out food that is stale dated all the time. Metro offer's fresh dairy, meat, produce.I'd continue but you get my drift. Oh, that's right, people who work food bank's don't get paid, do they? Carry on Scooter |
Barry - Scott? Do you wear a dunce hat 24/7?commented on Sep 24 2011 1:56AM |
| Scott, your comment's border anywhere from asinine to luantic to don't have a clue. You profess to work @ a food bank! If in fact this were the case, you would know full well most item's offered at such "bank" are staledated. Don't ever mock Metro, as they offer fresk produce, fresh meat and fresh dairy. I am begining to see that the "S" on your self professed cape stands for.........well, isn't smart lol |
Scott - Mia Call the Public Health Deptcommented on Sep 23 2011 3:50AM |
| Mia: Call the public health dept and report this to them. I will call them too and if they get several complaints, they will think more about selling spolied milk or give the spoiled milk to sam, will or susan, they seem to like spoiled products cause they are spolied brats. |

Scott - Will Please Will You Get Your Facts Straight.commented on Sep 23 2011 3:41AM |
| Will: Actually I have volunteered at the Food Bank for 2 years. What have you done? Also, my purpose for posting what I did was to SAVE people who have to rely on food banks money. Have you ever worked at a food bank because you have your facts wrong like the same way your head is screwed on wrong. The food at food banks is monitored strictly and more regulations and standards are in place at food banks than your beloved Metro. |

M.Mia - Metro Sales spoiled foodcommented on Sep 21 2011 12:41PM |
| I bought 3 Soya milk for my baby from Danforth Metro and did not test before giving him the milk. He remains without taking the milk for the whole day just took one time and ran away putting the milk bottle on the ground. At the end of the day I tested it and found spoiled very badly. We are so anxious now about his health. I returned them and I was so upset I did not even ask for the money. 2 days past and we had not had a response yet from any one. Think how much they care about customer. I will never go back to metro in my life. There are so many good store like Sobeys, Loblaw’s why spoiled food seller metro ??? |
will - Scott is a freak!commented on Sep 17 2011 11:13AM |
| Scott thanks for telling us about the cheap chicken at Wal Mart but you forgot to tell everyone that the cheaper chicken at wal mart is from the states where most of wal marts meat comes from, you also forgot to warn everyone of the salmonella that comes in all the american poultry. So for those of us who can afford to eat disease free canadian poultry shop at Metro where for a bit more money you A.) buy Canadian B.) Buy canadian graded food which is disease free. Scott too bad you have such a hard on for Metro, you could apply all your resources tosomething worth while like working in a food bank or something. But then again you would probably direct eople to the canned foods that are old and have Botulism. |

| Hi Rick, Thank you, thank you, thank you for 'ridding this world of scum! We absolutely need more people like you! I love Metro and its clean environment. I've read some of the ignorant comments on this page and i find it weird that if people have so much complaints about Metro...then just shop somewhere else. All my family and friends are loyal Metro customers and love the freshness of their meats and produce. Thanks Rick...and i'm now going to look out and confront the shoplifters!!! |

You're letting people know they can buy gatorade cheaper at Shoppers??? WTF??? LOL!!! What are you? Who are you? Are you a "Superhero"? Get a grip dude!!! Why such a Crusader against prices? WOW...such a superhero! They should make a comic book / movie out of you! Oops, i forgot, they already have the movie out.."Dumb and Dumber". BTW, i always buy gum balls at the grocery store...please let me know when they are on sale. Okay Stevie? (if thats your real name). Thanks peewee...i mean steve. Good boy steve...good boy. |
Rick - Unrealistic Scottcommented on Sep 1 2011 10:53AM |
| Hey Scott...appreciate the comments; but i find you live in a fantasy world. Please stop making excuses for others or maybe yourself. Sure...life is tough...does that mean you or they should steal? Your logic is backward and primitive my friend. I will keep "snitching" out the criminals as i absolutely love Metro and their hours. Good luck on your future endeavours and job search! Don't give up on life my friend...and please stop making excuses for yourself...it will prevent you from becoming a better person! :'-) |
Scott - Rick is a Snitchcommented on Aug 28 2011 8:56AM |
| Rick, you are a snitch. No one likes people who snitch. Sure stealing is wrong but maybe they were trying to feed their kids and could not find a job. Maybe they applied for a job at Metro and were turned down because by the way Metro would rather hire young inexperienced workers or people who speak very little english. If Metro managers were not sitting on their asses and watching what goes on in their stores then people would not be stealing. |

Scott - 20.00 for a chicken?commented on Aug 10 2011 7:06AM |
| Went to Metro yesterday to get a slice of pizza. Noticed whole chicken was 20.00. A customer was about to purchase 2. I informed him that he could buy 2 chickens for 12 bucks at Walmart. He hightailed it out of there and thanked me. Sorry, but I am going to continue coming into your store and informing customers about the lower prices elsewhere. Who the ** charges 20.00 for a chicken? Only greedy Metro. |
Scott - Dawn Millscommented on Aug 10 2011 6:59AM |
| Hey Dawn Mills: How would you know what my face looks like? Can you see through the internet? As for people laughing in my face. Most of the disgruntled workers at Metro have more respect for me than any of the rude ass managers there who do not know how to deal with people. Is that the same pie hole, you shove up your ass, than sell to customers? pawning off as food? |
Dawn Mills - Rude Managerscommented on Aug 9 2011 11:44AM |
| Scott has a very funny face and people like to laugh in it all the time. Nobody cares if minimum wage slaves are disgruntled so quiet your smelly pie hole. If you cant take the heat get out of the kitchen loser. Nobody wants to hear your lies and nonsense. |
Scott - Ignorant and Rude Managercommented on Aug 6 2011 3:31AM |
| The manager )female) at the Don MIlls and Lawrence location is the rudest and most ignorant manager I have ever dealt with. She does not listen to customers, looks down on you when you bring up a concern and basically laughs in your face. I really do not understand why Metro keeps her around. The staff and other customers there cannot stand her. |

Daniellecommented on Jun 14 2011 3:43PM |
| I work at a food basics and I love being rude to customers. Most of them anyways. Why? Well, everytime I do my job as required by head office, people decide to be rude. No, you can't use your mothers credit card, your signature is not the same. I am required to put stickers on things myself you do not need to attempt to run me down with your buggy. Furthermore, there is a 14 day return policy. I do not care if you did not realize milk needs to be kept in a fridge you cannot return it because you are an idiot. Also, there is a bar to separate orders for a reason. If you chose not to use it and push your things together with someone another customers, it is not my fault that I think it is one order. Do not yell at me. Also, if you call the store and yell down the phone at me, it hurts my ear and I will hang up on you. Why should I allow my hearing to be damaged for minimum wage? Furthermore, if you don't know how to use a chip card, yous should consider using cash, you are holding the lines up BIG TIME |

Ellie Z - Metro: The Sinking Ship!commented on Apr 25 2011 5:08PM |
| I'm shocked that this company is still in business after they aquired A&P/Dominion. Prices are super high. Product is of very poor quality. Employees are rude and miserable (though you can't really blame them). Management there are obese slobs that smoke weed and drink during their breaks & lunches. And there's maybe 1 employee per department these days, and good luck trying to find that poor sod if you need anything. Someone needs to give this company a major overhaul, or else just put it out of its misery! |

| The Metro in Bracebridge is very dark and dirty and never has anything. I would rather shop at the Your Independent Store which is bright and cheery and freindly staff. The staff at Metro are old and all they do is complain about working there or their backs hurt or whatever. Not a fun place to shop- the deals have to be amazing for me to go there |
Jennifer - Metro Staff Attitudecommented on Apr 2 2011 1:33PM |
| I dislike shopping at the METRO on 3221 Derry Rd W, Mississauga, ON L5N 7L7. The attitude of the staff there sucks! They look at you and act as if you are disturbing them and just ignore you. I perfer to drive further away to find another store. |
Angelacommented on Mar 11 2011 7:37AM |
| Don't usually shop at Metro unless they havea sreaming sale, which isn't often. More often than not their sale prices are still more expensive than soem of the other stores in my area, like No Frills, Food Basics or Price Chopper...and some of those even sell the exact same products! |

Sandicommented on Feb 3 2011 8:01AM |
| I've read all your comments here, and well particularly I think it's vain to point out only one grocery store in general. Every store has its rude, obnoxious employees, bad selection of food items, language barriers and piss pour management that does not practice customer satisfaction or respect the way these so called Management courses teach them, so do what I do, find your flyer specials, go shopping where you need to, and if you run into any ignorant store clerks, laugh it off, saying they must be having a bad day, because we all have our bad days, but don't always realize our short comings to others. Or just call it ignorance, and feel sorry for them and go on your way with a smile. Life is to short, why be miserable just because others chose to be that way. Cheers ! |

The managers in the Toronto stores are all obese, alcoholic lowlifes that submerge themsleves in the political game. I used to work there but quit on principle alone. I couldn't and wouldn't work for a company that partakes in dirty business and embraces corruption. And to verify what other posters have said: yes, the employees DO hate it there, and yes, Dominion was 1000X better than this joke of a company it turned into. |

| Jeff Wilson, the person who posted last... I love how you say that the employees at Metro have a poor attitude...as a former grocery store worker in my younger years, think about it...you're on your way home, picking up your dinner....or even shopping on the weekend...but these employees are stuck bagging your miserable butt's groceries for next to minimum wage...I know what you're thinking, maybe they should get an education and find a new job. Not all of us are dealt the best cards in life...But so sorry sir for your bruised tomato..what a travesty! |
Jeff Wilson - Poor ATTITUDEcommented on Dec 31 2010 10:13AM |
| Why is the ATTITUDE in Metro stores so POOR. The employees push right in front of customers not so much as EXCUSE me , carry on multiple conversations with 1 another and ignore you. Ask for a bag politely , get a dumb look , cashier tossed my 2 tomatoes around so much that they werre bruised |
Irene R - I like Metrocommented on Dec 29 2010 10:38AM |
| I like Metro. It doesn't have the lowest prices, that's true. That's because it isn't trying to be a low price store. It is one of the better quality grocery stores and they have better quality and a better range of produce and products than the lower price stores. Their sale prices for the most part are great. I pick and choose which store I go to depending on what I need to buy, since I live in an area where there are 4 grocery stores. No, I don't have any friends or relatives that work at any Metro. And Yes, I am grateful that I can afford to buy groceries and live in this great country, Province, city, where we have such a wonderful variety of food (and stores). |

Tracy Lynn - horrible company!commented on Dec 16 2010 7:29PM |
| Can't argue with all the negative comments on here. I shopped there for 8 years and it became SO MUCH worse once Metro bought Dominion. Jacked up prices, lower quality product, more out of stock items, less employees in the store, and the service there is now a joke. It's true the employees really hate it there. Shoppers are better off just going to a No Frills or one of those discount type stores. You'll get the same sub-par quality but at least you'll save some money and you don't have to wait around in those departments where you need "service". |

| I was at the Vaughan metro location today (Major Mack + Dufferin) and I just wanted to say what a pleasent experience I had. The produce was fresh and the specials were well in stock. When it was time to check out, there was only 2 tills open with large lines however a stock clerk noticed and offered to open a third till to check me th\the good work! |

| I really cant stand shopping at metro for produce any more. It's bad enough the berries and grapes are all soft and moldy the day of or after they make it to the store, and the bananas all turn black within two days, but those disgusting, bitter, rotting from the inside out and turning black, south african oranges are just adding insult to injury. Why should we here in North America keep supporting a grocer that won't support North American Produce. I'm tired of wasting my money at their stores. |

Alison Byrne - AWFULcommented on Oct 29 2010 4:55PM |
| Mary, the reason why Metro stores have gone "down the tubes" since acquiring Dominion is because they cut back on their staff big time! Therefore, its a given that food will be less fresh, there will be more expired items, there will be more empty shelves, and the place will be much dirtier. Where are the people to do these jobs? The media likes to praise Metro on how much record profits they've been making since buying Dominion. Sure... they've cut down on expenses across the board. But I think its all coming back to haunt them, because the shoppers/customers are starting to see that they don't get the quality and service that they used to, and the stores are looking more and more like dumps! The Dominion and even the small A&P store that I used to shop in were great. Metro, on the other hand, is now basically a No Frills or Price Chopper with higher prices! |

Mary Fitzpatrick - Food Pass the Expired Datescommented on Oct 24 2010 11:54AM |
| I use to love shopping at our store when it was owned by Dominion (Port Union and Lawrence). However since Metro took over, it has completely gone down the tubes. I like to buy groceries on a daily basis so the food will be fresh, but Metro does not know what fresh means because they buy sub-grade fruits and vegetables have little selection. I can't count the number of times the milk and cheese have expired. I have no issue paying higher prices if you are getting the value, like you get at Loblaws. But, Metro has by far the lowest food standards around, yet their prices are similar to Bruno's and other high end stores. The staff is fine, but the food is crap. |
steve - tough chickencommented on Oct 17 2010 11:16AM |
| I bought a cooked chicken at Metro the other day and it was probably the worst chicken I have ever had in my life. It costs more in gas than the chicken was worth so it went in the garbage. tougher than leather, more packaging than a landfill, probably older than me from the store shelves past it's best before date, toss it in the oven and then see if someone buys it... |
Jackie - Metro sucks!commented on Oct 14 2010 10:46PM |
| Chris, you are very right in what you say. **ty managers & disgruntled workers indeed. At the store near me, all the employees look and move around like they're half dead, but they probably do that on purpose because of the way they're treated. |

| I have never seen managers so useless as most at my local Metro store. Where do you get these losers? I guess you get what you pay for. These mangers need food handling management courses as well as people skills courses. No wonder so many employees hate this place.I wouldn't be suprised if there are cameras in the toilet stalls at these ** holes. Too bad this store is going to change nice young peoples outlook on employment.Young people are our future so please treat them well or you will pay down the road. |

Once in bakery a bun hit the floor and the manager picked it up and was going to put it back in the batch but was stopped by an employee! Also bakery mangement changing best before dates on bake goods. What the f!!! I treat Metro like a convenience store now and never will I do a major shopping here again. Metro, clean up your act and you WILL fail. |

Rob - Pricescommented on Sep 4 2010 12:33AM |
| We had an A&P here in Owen Sound, that got changed into a Metro. The prices for years had been outrageous, and sadly, still are. Being centered in the downtown core, the poorest that have to live there(elderly, students, low income people) live in apartments, with no cars. Sure you can take the bus, or a cab, but Metro is right there. I one day, after having shopped around, stopped in to pick up supplies so I would have lunch for the week at work. I liked to take a couple neilson fruit on the bottom yogurts a day, so I needed 10 for the weeek. At the time Owen Sound had a flat rate of $5.00 for a one way cab. After loading up my cart with a few things I needed including the yogurt, I did some math. I could have gotten one yogurt cup for about 50 cents at no frills, but I didnt want to pay for a cab, too expensive right? Not really. Instead of buying $9.99 for 10 from A&P, I could pay $5.00 at no frills, costing me 1 penny in difference for a cab there. The additional savings more than payed for the cab back I'm sure, and it's REALLY sad to say that No Frill selection beat A&P, because No Frills has low thrills selection. As far as switching to Metro, I can say this. Just like A&P, you can cherry pick them for great deals if you have the time, just dont shop when in need. The selections vs the old brand whatever it was is way better. Even not on sale, selections has specialty cheese such as swiss, havarti etc for about 4.99 for a good sized chunk, and they go on sale for super cheap. I love swiss cheese, and can now afford to have it in my fridge all the time. Their prices are still outrageous, and the old slogan about being fresh obsessed is luckily gone for them. They did away with that after switching to Metro, because you definantly more than most places need to make sure that you are checking the freshess out for yourself! |

Nancy Anne Johnsoncommented on Aug 26 2010 8:59AM |
| The Metro store in my area is absolutely wonderful, from customer service to management personnel if you have a concern or question they are only more than pleased to assist you. The store is spotlessly clean, shelves are always stocked ready to handle the big sales items as advertised, if sold out they are more than pleased to provide you a rain check. The check out service is always proficient and expedient, and many of the older employees will package your grocery items with care. I've never experienced any problems and is the only store in my area where I will shop. I find some of their meat prices a little on the high side, since I'm not much of a meat eater it doesn't really bother me. Everything is fresh, clean and well stocked. |
Tom - Worst Grocery Store Evercommented on Aug 25 2010 8:14AM |
| Highest prices of any grocery store. Worst and most rude employees. They sell 3 day old bakery items for maybe 50 cents less. I threw out a whole bag of cheesesticks after one day they were awful. They have an awful selection too the shelves never seem to be filled on time. Just an awful business. Quebec run so not surprised. |

PeterJacob - Metro in Scarborough Deep Problems commented on Aug 8 2010 7:42AM |
| All the Metros suck. The Metro at Markham and Eglinton in Scarborough has horrible Management for a Unionized shop this Metro and probably others, cut your hours even if you legally are entitled for a set number of hours. The Manager wears a mustache and mumbles when he talks and he also believes he is a "God" and all the workers are losers in his perspective (especially Part-Time workers) to which he can talk down to and won't listen to your problems in-case your wondering his name is Kirk Spears aka Store Manager, and he likes to let the employees know he is the store manager as though he is again a "God". The Front End Department Manager (Chris Nagel) who runs the Cashiers and Cart guys treats old and new workers like crap. New workers have also questioned why older workers are not getting what they are suppose to get in terms of hours, that shows you how backwards it runs. It runs off FAVORITISM yet it's UNIONIZED, GO FIGURE. Talking to her (Chris Nagel, 5'6 who bleaches her hair) is like walking on egg s**s. Cashiers and Cart Guys are constantly complaining about her and her hunch men and women who will rat on you to her, about the slightest mistake. Grown adults YEAH RIGHT, children is more like it. I know there may be other Metros but this Metro has gone under the radar for an awful long time and it's about time that the people of Toronto and abroad know what is going on in this store and this company. |

You can't do it not possible, but sometimes cheap old ladies get away with 5 bucks worth in stuff but that's not because the cashier doesn't know, it's because they aren't required to chase anyone so they don't, I noticed some of the cashier being too polite to ask if something was bought or not and that's another thing, but no way in ** will someone get away with that. |

Carol Cook - Our Metro is Greatcommented on Mar 13 2010 9:17AM |
| I shop in the Brooklin store and have found the employees wonderful. They are so pleasant that if you are having a bad day they sure brighten it. Metro is a little more expensive than Price Choppers,but they bag for you. Some days that is great for me as I have a medical condition and tire easily. When I asked about their jobs when it changed from A&P I was told they lost $3.00 per hour but were thankful to keep their jobs. This store has employees with fantastic aditudes, must have great management. |

Anneke - crap servicecommented on Mar 3 2010 8:19PM |
| They used to have good specials and decent service at Metro... well moreso when it was still Dominion. Now the employees are all miserable, and **, you can barely find any employees left in the stores these days. Seems like there is 1 person per department lately, which is why I don't bother going there anymore. Better off going to a No Frills or Price Chopper where you can just grab your groceries and check out, instead of waiting around for that one person to serve you your items over a counter. |
neighbour - general commentcommented on Feb 24 2010 11:11AM |
| In general, metro grocer is costlier than others, but sometimes it pays through its better quality. They talk of specialty I found nothing of that sort. They have lot of space for meat, chicken and sea food, and less of vegetable. They do not how to preserve - use only less water or water spray. |
Lisa Fox - Missing food in the junk food isle?commented on Feb 21 2010 8:10PM |
| I saw three student cashiers today that were high as **!! This is unacceptable, unprofessional and it is a shame that Metro continues to employ such undesirable staff when there are so many other qualified candidates to assume the position. As a consumer at Metro i do not appreciate being cheked out by an incoherent teenager whose eyes are redder than the devils **. |

Simmon - Metros has the worst servicecommented on Feb 19 2010 4:59AM |
| Metro have the worst service, they don't ever ask for airmiles or bag our stuff anymore untill we ask. When we ask, they tends to throw the fragile stuff together with cans and meat. I use to like going their... but not anymore... service needs to change they SUCK! |

Amy - STFUcommented on Feb 16 2010 7:18PM |
| OMG you are all a bunch of **es. You whine and say that there is no stock for the sale item you want but yet you don't want a raincheack. they are good for thirty days and if the metro doesn't have the item at the time you inform the cashier and she'll put a new date on it. Your lucky you can get a raincheak at metro at some stores you can't. Also the chicken sale was a special metro did't have to give you a raincheak for it. Plus your asuming all metros are like the one you have been too, this is untrue every store is different and have different managers, any store can suck depending on the manager. |

Kathleen Fischukcommented on Feb 14 2010 3:59PM |
| Regarding your 3 day chicken meal special, I was extremely disappointed, when arriving Sun 10:45 am to find out, SOLD OUT NO Raincehecks, WHAT GIVES!!!! while quanities last, not true your flyer DID NOT stipulate this, your fine print SAYS your have the right to limit qty to households. I was advised by the staff, that the local store manager put up the sign...then was told by staff that it was HEAD OFFICE..so tell the truth. I spend approx $150 plus each week, I think you can not value me as a customer to pull this. I can understand running out, but at 10:30 am don't think so. |
Tim - YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING? LOW prices???commented on Feb 12 2010 1:24PM |

Frank T. - Metro owns Food Basics!commented on Jan 24 2010 12:27AM |

Frank T. - METRO IS OVER PRICED!commented on Jan 17 2010 7:01AM |
| METRO corporate headquarters probably spent a fortune to re-brand all the A&P stores. Not only have they wiped out a recognized known brand, but they've also damaged the introduction of the unknown METRO label (which started here in Ontario with 'ZERO' brand recognition) by insulting the customer's intelligence with unrealistic inflated prices. What where they thinking? That may work back in Quebec, but it doesn't here! WAKE UP, you're in ONTARIO now! You better get on with the program, because you now have REAL competition! |
Dannycommented on Jan 15 2010 10:45AM |
| Metro is way overpriced. Food Basics and Superstore beats it hands down. Shop smart! |
Pat Hendricks - Prices......commented on Jan 2 2010 8:53AM |

**o - This is NOT the store's website!commented on Dec 11 2009 8:15AM |
| How dense do you people have to be to not realize that this is NOT the vendor's website? It's a site where you can collectively access flyers for multiple stores. Quit griping and complaining here and go to the actual website. FYI, the flyer IS online on Thursday there. |
Wake Upcommented on Dec 6 2009 4:00PM |
| You people need to realize that this is NOT metro's website and they have no affiliation. This website put it up as soon as Metro has released it. They don't check these message boards to look for customer problems, if you went directly to the stores website or to the store itself. Grocery Savings is providing a great service where you can find all the store flyers so stop complaining here. |

sue - flyerscommented on Nov 27 2009 12:48PM |
| I agree with the comments about putting out the flyers on thursday. Also since metro took over from the barn,the prices are more expensive and the produce is not up to par. |
Joan - Dittocommented on Nov 27 2009 11:17AM |
| I concur whole heartedly with all of Marisa's comments on October 20. Several times I have looked around for a Manager and have yet to find one. The fact that customer service refuses to take small orders also antagonizes me (Your competition does). |
Des Ccommented on Nov 27 2009 9:52AM |
| I love the Metro I recently started going to:) Unfortunately the deals this week in the flyers are not very good compared to other grocery stores in my area (If you're a bargain shopper like myself:). Though I do love their veggies, meats and friendly staff, when I see a lot of the exact same things on sale somewhere else for more than a dollar cheaper, they don't win my shopping this week:( |
Dale - Slow down Jana!!!!!commented on Nov 27 2009 9:17AM |
| Life's too short. I frequent Metro on regular basis because the beef is very good. To actually aquire the good sale items are a bonus because they are very seldom found. |
Jana Thompsoncommented on Nov 26 2009 1:11PM |
| This is the second time I am writing this note!!!!! Please Please Please put your flyer up on Thursaday instead of Friday!!!!!!!!! I have to watch every penny and sometimes I get so mad because I will look at your flyer when I get home home from shopping and I see sale items that I could save on if I had know about them!!!!!!!!!!! The way I do it is that I look at all the flyers and then go to the store that has the most deals and I get all my grocery's for that week at one store!!!!!!!!!!! So you are missing out on my business. I usally spend around $120.00 a week in one grocery store!!!!! Think about!!!!! Please put the flyers up earlier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jana |

bev - expired productscommented on Nov 20 2009 5:21AM |
| Since metro took over there seems to be a lot of expired products on the shelves. I have had to take things back after I got home and looked. Some in the dairy have been a month old. I try now and look. Not too impressed. Also the vegetables are not fesh. Bought 3 acorn squash and all three had bad spots in them . You really have to watch. Do most of my shopping at other stores now. Before I always shopped at Domnion. It is too bad. |
GORD - Thursday Nite Flyercommented on Nov 19 2009 3:37PM |

Rickcommented on Nov 13 2009 7:34PM |
| I wrote to Metro head office 6 months ago asking that they put their flyers on line on Thursday rather than on Friday. They said - good idea that they would do it. They do it for their stores in Quebec. Well six months later and they still have not put their flyer online on Thursday like Sobeys, no frills and Loblaws do. GET WITH IT METRO. |
steve smith - limit per customercommented on Nov 7 2009 7:22AM |
| when sales are on if customers would realize taking more than they really need limits the amount for the next customer if 1 person takes 10 of the same item 9 others might go without till the next order sometimes its the consumers fault not the store who sells the product(being greedy)is a sin! |
jason vorheescommented on Nov 6 2009 10:06AM |

Andrea - producecommented on Oct 30 2009 6:44AM |
| I also shop at Metro for convenience. I walk there and have a very bush schedule. However I do not purchase any fruit or veggies there. I go out of my way to a farmer's market every weekend. The vegetables and fruits are horrid at Metro. They are constantly bruised, covered in mold, wilted and over-packaged. Also, other chains carry more vegetables from Ontario, I live in Ontario. Yet my local Metro has produce, that is widely available in Ontario, from Peru????? I wish they would close down and a No Frills or better yet a co-op would open instead. |
David L. - Packaged Mushroomscommented on Oct 20 2009 10:31AM |
| Metro(formerly Loeb in Ottawa) is unique in its stubborn insistance on wrapping white and Cremini mushrooms in plastic wrap on styrofoam flats. Every other store in the area allows customers to select loose mushrooms and provide small paper bags for this purpose. What is Metro (Loeb) thinking? Terrible over-packaging aside, who wants to buy mushrooms that have been hermetically sealed in plastic wrap for who-knows-how-long? (slimy mushrooms, anyone?) What idiotcy. I once mentioned it to the produce manager. He said it was the "suits at HQ". And that was under the Loeb banner. I had hoped that with the change to Metro, things would change. Nope! Same idiotcy... |
marisa - desperate?...go metrocommented on Oct 20 2009 8:50AM |
| I have been shopping Metro (Dominion) for 10 years and sorry to say that has to change. Prices are higher, produce stinks, not enough cashiers and now stupid looking managers in suits that do nothing exept converse with each other. |
Secret2commented on Oct 17 2009 7:22AM |
| Shop at No Frills! Everything is 50 cents to a $1.00 more anyway even if it is on sale!!! |
Nicolecommented on Oct 17 2009 7:21AM |
| I live down the street from Metro and stop in at least 3 or 4 times a week. With 2 small children and a home daycare I am constantly needing to replenish fruits and vegetables. I am very disappointed with the quality of produce our city's Metro carries. I often have a difficult time finding FRESH fruits that arn't bruised or molding. On a positive, this Metro is fairly decent at keeping it's stock up..too bad it's the non perishable stuff and not the fresh items growing humans need |
kitty - unbelievablecommented on Oct 16 2009 11:35AM |
| i can't believe some of these comments .. guess what people, just because something's out of stock doesn't mean it want orders. i worked in retail for a year and we constantly ordered things that just never came in because of the manufacturer. maybe you should check your facts before complaining. i think metro's a great store, and if something's not in stock then whatever, they always have something comparable you can find. |

Paul B - Items Not In Stockcommented on Oct 7 2009 2:54PM |
| I really like this store but it always seems that just about every time I go to get a sale item that the one I really wanted is out of stock! Just like other people have mentioned the sale item may be out of stock the same day it goes on sale. I have started to shop at other stores just because of this. |

Geo - Too often out of stockcommented on Oct 3 2009 6:11AM |
| I often go to the store 3 or 4 times in the course of a week after tyhe flyer comes out. Quite often an item is out of stock for days, even a non - sale item like cereal. I can't understand how they can't realize which variety sells more and stock up on that. |

Lindsaycommented on Sep 17 2009 9:51AM |
| I completely agree with posting the flyer early. I like to make my grocery list the day before the sales start, so i can just get out the door and go. It would make my planning a lot easier. Superstore and Loblaws do this and it is very convenient. |
LOLA - OUT OF STOCKcommented on Sep 17 2009 6:11AM |
| I LOVE METRO BUT...EVERYTIME I GO TO THE STORE THAT I SHOP AT ..EXAMPLE..SPECIAL STARTED ON THE 11TH OF SEPT WHEN I WENT IN ON THE 12TH TO SHOP FOR A SALE IDEM GUESS WHAT NOT IN STOCK..I SPEND ALOT OF MONEY AT YOUR STORES AND I SHOULD BEABLE TO GET A SALE IDEM A DAY AFTER THE SALE STARTED. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH OF THE SALE IDEM YOU WILL NEED WHEN YOU PUT IT IN YOUR FLYER. BUT NEVER SEEM TO HAVE IT. SO IN OTHER WORDS IF I DON'T GET IN THE STORE THE SAME DAY THE SALE STARTS THAN I CAN'T GET IT??THAT'S JUST B.S. |
