Sobeys Extra Oxford and Wonderland — Local services in Ontario

My new FAVOURITE store to shop! This location is really kicking the competitions a** in a BIG WAY. I use to shop at Metro Wellington. While I still prefer buying Metro's meat & buns/bread, Metro is missing the mark in terms of cleanliness, layout, customer service & selection. Sobeys extra is BEAUTIFUL, bright, clean, & offers such a huge selection in every department! (I spend too much time and $$ there, lol). They stock much better choices of beer & wine; staff are very courteous and helpful, with just one incident whereby 2 staff mbrs at the plant & flower shop were far more interested in gossiping than noticing I was standing there for a few minutes waiting to be served. I have watched one particular manager there in action; he has his eye on EVERYTHING & EVERYONE. I see him so often (is it Tim?), I wonder if the poor guy gets a day off?! But he is on top of his game - I have even seen him hauling skids of products out from the back to stock shelves. The seafood manager was sooo nice and taught me how to properly shuck oysters without killing myself or losing a finger, lol. Very impressed indeed. Perhaps it was just bad luck - but I have purchased bread, bagels & buns that did not taste fresh even though I checked the date(s). That - and the meat department are the only 2 things I can think of that (for me) need some improvement. But the deli....The deli is awesome!! (Again it's clean & stocked with a ton of stuff). There is a sushi area and freshly cooked meals/specials prepared every day to choose from. In the produce department- whoever takes care of that area ensures it is beautifully displayed & stocked with fresh fruit(s), veggies & ready made salads to name only a few things.(not too sure what the "juice" area is all about? Never see anyone behind that counter to ask). Yes, some things might cost a little more but I always check for sales & overall the entire store is simply wonderful to shop at! (**AND no harrassing beggars at the entrance like Metro has). Bravo to the management & team, you should be proud and I'm happy that I discovered your store! 😊🖒 Oh - don't forget that you get...

Did have some great experiences there but last one really left a sour taste. Made a trip over to sobeys specifically as I passed four other grocery stores on the way. I went to the meat counter that was deserted of employees and customers, and after finding the meat employee asked if they had any of the product I came for. Three times now they haven’t had it immediately handy but I had no problem waiting 15 mins or longer while I shop if they are busy. One girl did it right there (the original employee who told me this is no big deal) and it took her less than five mins to make 15. So my request last night (3 hrs to closing) was that even though there’s no customers around and it’s sobeys “extra” he just “didn’t have the man power to help me out. I explained that I’ve had it done before, by numerous employees no problem and that I made a trip out to sobeys specially and this was the dinner plan. So the next excuse is that is that’s something that has to be ordered typically. It literally never has been. So being a little annoyed at this guy laziness I went to ask customer service why they have the employees there if they don’t help customers. They thought it sounded ridiculous as well. So, they asked the manager who said they would call the meat dept. this time the employee said oh all that product is frozen. It’s a fresh meat product, and I even ensured they had the required ingredients before asking ….. needless to say the lying lazy employee and wasted trip out left a pretty lasting negative impression. There are multiple closer/cheaper grocery stores near by. As a former sobeys employee, even though it was the other location, customer satisfaction was always paramount. It’s too bad it doesn’t seem to be now, especially at a...
