To Whom It May Concern,
I have been going to your Food Basic store in Brampton since it has opened. Store number: 895 Hwy. 10 and Sandlewood. The service has always been polite, neat, professional. Until today.
At 12:00 to 12:16 pm i was putting my groceries on the belt which was not cleaned after the next customer. I said hello to the young lady. Cashier number: 159 Number 5 check out. She said hello. I always put my groceries on the belt nice and neat. Especially, the ones that could break. She was throwing my groceries on top of each other. So fast that a Tenderlake pie crust fell to the floor. When i said to her please do not throw the groceries on top of each other, plus the pie crust could break. She did not apologize or say anything to me. One or two items went on the belt after that neatly. Then she continued to throw them on. I did not say anything else. I need to the conveyor belts since i had a lot of groceries. When it was time to paid she rudely said you can pay now. When i asked her how much my bill was she did not answer me. I looked on the screen myself. She waited for a bit while i continued to pack my groceries. Then she moved to the belt to cause a pop bottle to tip over. I did say to her if she could wait another few minutes. Her response was i have to get to the other customers. Then she leaned forward and whispered something to the next customer about me!!! Evidently this young person has no respect, manners and does not like her job. But clearly she ;must be spoken to and dealt with. This would not stop me from going to this store but i definitely would not go through her line again.

I am regrettably celiac and must consume gluten-free products, which for the most part, I purchase at your store. However, of late, the all-but-gluten white sliced bread is too pricy at $5.79 a small loaf. Today, I drove to No Frills store to purchase it at $4.79 a loaf. Not much better price but at least $1.00 off. Two weeks ago, you offered the same bread at $3.99 which, in my opinion, is a more affordable price and should be the regular price for such a small loaf. Would you be good enough to consider this request and, hopefully, act on it?
Many thanks, in anticipation of your early and positive response.

On January 29 2018 at 5:45 I was shopping at Food Basic on Lawerence Ave East, The veggies and fruits were well stocked but, the meat department was lacking of meat that was supposed to be on sale. I was in unable to find someone to help me for the meat that was on special this week. I proceeded to the cashier but she was closing however, I asked her if I needed to leave she said “no” she cash me out and tell me to have a good evening and be careful driving. I thought that was such a wonderful thing to say knowing the weather was no the greatest. I would definitely shop at this location again. Thanks for acknowledging your customers.

Was into Food Basics in Cornwall at the Brookdale and waited 20 min before the manager decided to call for all cashiers. They only had 3 cashiers on and it was lined up 1/2 way down the isle. Was not impressed. They need to also put the cart person on earlier as there was a few carts in the store, and a few people on the floor stalking shelves. Again not impressed with the food basics in the west end.

It was just a matter of minutes, while I was still shopping , I noticed the manager come in and spring into action, getting this team of able bodied youth to dismantle and assemble new skids / base setting at the store front near cashiers. A smooth, quick and undisruptive operation.
A great team of young and able young men lead by an even GREATER LEADER name Frank !! Kudos to the team and great store to shop in

It would be nice for my local Food Basics store (100863) to acknowledge and reward two of their very fine employees who show exemplary customer service. This location should be very proud to have these ladies on their pay roll.
I live in an older neighbor and many this store’s customers are elderly. Both Lisa and Danielle show that their really care about their customers. They are always friendly and engage in a brief chat like “how are you mom, did you find everything you need”?. Food Basics should have these ladies train the rest of the staff who can be seen as turning their backs on the customer while waiting for the debit transaction to go through.
Customers rush to the cashiers when these ladies are working. Personally, I would rather wait in a longer line just to be served by Lisa.. I always leave the store feeling up beat.
Please do something special for these ladies to also show that Food Basics on Neilson Rd and Ellesmere (store # 100863) tel #416-284-5320) care too.

You need to teach your cashiers the difference between hothouse sweet orange pepper and a papaya. They weighed a papaya 1.205 kg. and should have charged 2.18/kg. and ended up charging $8.77/kg calling a papaya a hothouse sweet orange pepper.
Charging $10.57 for a 1.205 kg. papaya. Now we are left with the aggravation of having to go back to the store and try to rectify this problem. Over charged by $7.96.

I was in your Simcoe Food Basics and was very dissatisfied with one of the workers.
This is the first day of your flyer specials, so I decided to take advantage and pick up the specials that I needed. I did get some of the items but some simply were not there. Among the items I was looking for were Latancia Cream Cheese and Black Diamond cheese slices. .
Fine it was the first day of the specials, but it seems that not having the flyer specials stocked, is an on going occurrence at this particular store. Upon looking for the Black Diamond cheese slices I asked the young man to check to see if they were in the back. He said if they weren”t in the spot where they usually are then no he didn’t have any. I mentioned that this is the one problem I have with Food Basics and that is they always seem to be missing a few items that are advertised in the flyer. He got annoyed with me and said it wasn’t his fault that they hadn’t come on the truck and if I wasn’t happy then I should just stop shopping there.
I have worked in retail for 30 plus years and I have always tried to accommodate the customer and I have never suggested that if the customer had a problem to simply not return.
There are other food stores in the area that price match and after today I will not be returning to this store.
Thank you.

I was in your store on pape ave., yesterday there was in the meat section pork roast/tenderloin in vac packaging. Friday. Today is Saturday. I went to purchase some today… None available.. I cook from scratch. I don’t want seasoned pork pancetta roast I don’t want pork chops I wanted a hunk of meat to cook myself, cut up myself season myself.. What did they do with what was there yesterday??? I am thoroughly insulted, why should I SETTLE for something I don’t want??? I won’t shop there again.. Other than milk bread and a couple of basics.. I will sooner take my business elsewhere, where I can get what I need I know own I’ll pay more but at least I will get what want.. Good day.
