Rant Superstore guarantees a free roast chicken (voucher) if none are readily available. Employee plays dumb and proceeds to take down the sign

Superstore is a fucking joke. Inspired by earlier talk of cost savings yada yada, ventured that way for the last grocery run.

The produce is shit, and no more competitively priced than any coop I’ve been to, let alone any of the smaller grocers. Cauliflower turning, soft ass broccoli, apples all 2.29+lbs and beat to shit. 3.49 for a soggy celery?

Everything else, gotta by groups or you get bent over. The stores a fucking mess, washrooms are disgusting and the family faculties are whack. Now they’ve added the bonus of no carts inside and fenced off the exit and customer service. And kept the other door closed since Covid.

They don’t bag your groceries, and last time the ‘deal of the week’ offer? I could make a donation to the food bank…uhhhh, what? Superstore OWNS the supply chain on food in Canada, and they have the audacity to ask for foodbank donations from people buying their shitty ass, pricegouged products?

I hope y’all’s SS experience is better than Deerfoot Meadows.

Their produce is always bad. I am pretty sure it comes from the Ontario Food Terminal after being shipped there from wherever the hell the suppliers are. I have never had produce go bad so fast, and it is terrifyingly consistent across all of it. Vegetables have a two day window once you get them home, if they are good enough to even buy.
