| 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. |

| Young & Eglington store sucks for having enough but employees run to run the place, if you are an early person for shopping they are always out of stock and would say the truck have not come in yet, Bayview & Eglington is the best, great customer service. |

| i know the person who states he "steals" from metro. this guy is...what i call "mentally challenged". please don't worry about his bravado...he lives at home, has only been employed a few times and received "disability allowance" for his "inability" to keep a job. he goes on blogs like this and hypes himself up because...he's bored! i know u guys think he's a loser...and well...he is...but at least he's harmless to society! please don't let him get to u, he's just a harmless nobody! |

Anonym - bunus bonus Air milescommented on Apr 20 2010 12:48PM |
| It's a big fuss about nothing, well I want to correct myself - A big fuss about penny - especially you will notice this when you look at the promotional products earning 2 airmiles or 3; which may amount to 25 cents. I am not against advertising, but look at how they do. Actual product information is nothing. I think they are shy to say there was an excess production which then available as bonus rewards for us. |

Jason - Overpriced and Miserable!commented on Apr 2 2010 2:56PM |
| I agree with some of the comments below. This is just a money-hungry company now, with overpriced groceries, miserable staff, and yeah, where did all the employees go? No wonder the ones that are there ARE miserable. I'll admit, some great specials in the flyer sometimes, but all their regular priced items are WAY overpriced! Gotta keep those shareholders happy I guess... |
Lisa Lu - flyer fight club rulescommented on Mar 29 2010 6:33AM |
| Just remember - the only rule on the Metro flyer fight club website is that there ARE NO RULES!!! On a serious note, this is the best website I've ever stumbled across simply trying to find the weekly Metro flyer!! Too Funny!! |
Mandy - Go Awaycommented on Mar 26 2010 11:36AM |
| If you don't like shopping at Metro, then I suggest shopping somewhere else. Stop acting like a bunch of babies who just thrive on drama and gossip. Yuck, makes me sick. |
Lisa Lu - LOVE METROcommented on Mar 26 2010 8:29AM |

| "Please note that GrocerySavings.ca does not represent nor have any affiliations with Metro. So please do not post any comments directed at Metro on this page.

(ps. they can't post the flyer until it's been delivered...try the metro site.) |

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 hell, 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. |

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 bitches. 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. |
rochelle - inviting for an interviewcommented on Feb 15 2010 10:58AM |
| i was invited in for an interview for employnment METRO...I was early FOR MY APPOITMENT and let staff Know I was ther to meet the manager, 3-4 employees asked me if I was still waiting to see the manager they we're very apologetic but he never came out to meet me not even a phone call to explain what happen even though I left a written note for him, I waited 1 hour & nothing thats very unprofessional...I didnt even have a chance. |

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. |
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! |

Hello - 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 |

| 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! |

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. |

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. |
Secret - Air Milescommented on Oct 16 2009 8:09AM |
| Everyone needs to stop complaining. Good lord it's pathetic to see people be so bitchy about sale items. They take air miles and thats all I give an ass about. |
Fed Upcommented on Oct 15 2009 3:57PM |
| It is quite plain to see that you pay no attention to your customers comments. My shopping list is made out Thursday nite, and all the other grocery stores have their flyers online. GOODBYE, I no longer will shop at your stores, because the specials are all gone by noon hour. |
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. |
