Some items are really expensive and incorrectly labelled. You have to double check to make sure they punch in the things on sale. They are bad at updating their labels and some things will be permanently on sale.
I have seen some of their staff intentionally keeping products on shelf that is out of date. These includes produce and dairy. Its not uncommon to see things like milk and yoghurt past its expiration date, with the workers intentionally putting them in the front.
Pointing out the incorrect pricing to some of the staff has been met with dismissal. If you have a item on sale and haven't fixed the price listing on the shelf, you should honour the discount price even if it has expired.
In this area of Fresh Pond you also got Valentinos and Ridgewood Farm - Two stories with fantastic quality produce. Both of them have better quality greens, fruits and veggies. But neither of them sell meat, and their coolers are so bad they make me not want to buy dairy products or other cooled things. 5 min walkaway on fresh pond road you got Food Universe which has some decent meats (chicken, beef and pork) but less variety, and generally speaking I think Price Choice is better.
Overall I like Price Choice but I think the quality control could be better. I also see staff that does nothing but take the empty carts. And these guys are usually angry looking and sideeye you in an uncomfortable way. The ladies who work the cash registers are mostly nice and polite, but some of them come off as unprofessional when they shout to the others employees about random stuff while processing your items.
I find that annoying when I have to be so careful about items on sale not being registered correctly because of incorrect labeling on...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI happened to pop into this supermarket four days ago and actually picked up a few items. Everything looked well organized, and I thought perhaps I should do my bulk shopping there going forward until yesterday when I changed my mind. The (gluten-free cookies) I bought earlier (March 5) did not taste right; in fact, I felt sick after eating one so I didn't go any further with it. I decided to return it as I was running a few errands. I got to the cashier and explained to her what happened, and I told her to check the expiry date because I know something ain't right with the cookies. She was shocked! It expired since January. She called the Manager and told him about it and mentioned that it made me sick; these are his words and action "I hope they didn't eat it," and walked away. He made no contact with me, no apologies and he obviously was not listening well to the cashier. Anyway, after the cashier returned my money, I went to him and told him that his attitude stinks and it is no way to treat customers. I told him he has a title that does not suit him, and just kept shoving some cake in his mouth and shake his head and told me that I was the one with the attitude. So I plan on making a complaint at the Consumers Affairs, and also let people know to always check expiry dates on your foods, especially at Price Choice Food Market.
Rude and disrespectful Management. Some folks are better off living and working in communist environment rather than an environment that is "for...
   Read moreAlthough the cashiers and the floor workers are extremely nice this place need their meat department packers to be fired or retrained as to food safety. I have seen fruits to cheeses spoiled and still on the shelves. 𤢠Now the worst was the chicken guizards that I bought. How can they pack something like that and sell it to the customers. Covering the spoiled, disgusting meat under fresh ones. This is the last time I'm shopping there. Who ever packed it didn't care but to sell whatever they had. Absolutely disgusting. I refused to take it back because the place would have had to be shut down. Unbelievable.. This is a supermarket in our community and this is what you sell the people that shop there. It is not the first time at least another person warned me but it's a first and last for me. The pics show what was in the package but honestly it was disgusting to see. Either get those people some trainings or just pack up get out of our community and sell that some place else. It will be reported to the food safety department cause this is unacceptable. I rather walk to the Price Choice in East Treamont. At least they are clean, prices are better and their...
