I LOVE SHOPPING IN ORLEANS ( BRANDON'S AND MEGAN'S STORE), THE STAFF IS ALWAYS POLITE AND VERY HELPFUL. But ordering CURBSIDE PICKUP is a nightmare. I know that has nothing to do with the store, that the info on the website is from THE HEADQUARTERS. Sooo back to PC EXPRESS. Originally I ignored it because there is: "Note: Online orders must be picked up inside the store"! After trying UNSUCCESSFULLY to find the CURBSIDE PICKUP I called and I was told that it's not true, that they will bring it to my car - I just have to pick a date and they will let me know the pickup time. DON'T YOU THINK THAT SOMEBODY SHOULD CORRECT THE MISLEADING INFO ON THE WEBSITE?
Another puzzle - I wanted to take advantage of the sales ( advertised in the recent flyer). I started to fill my shopping cart and proceeded to CHECKOUT. But before I was able to proceed I was asked to pick up a date - the first available date is May 19th. OK, I select that date and surprise, surprise! Since the pickup is now next week the prices in my order magically change to regular prices, because in the meantime the sale expires. I FIND THAT UNFAIR! THE PRICES SHOULD BE HONORED FROM THE TIME THE ORDER IS PLACED. Soooo I'm thinking OK I'll check the next week's sales - OF COURSE, THE NEW FLYER IS NOT OUT YET! And if I will wait for the next flyer it will be the same story. AS I SAID - THE PRICES SHOULD BE HONOURED FROM THE DAY THE CUSTOMER IS ORDERING!

I've been shopping here at least 10 yrs & with this covid19 they put a limit of toilet paper to 1 roll per person. I was at the store March 23 2020 & witnessed 3 patrons complaining bout this lady in line buying 2 large pkgs of toilet paper. The staff was laughing at these patrons being upset I felt that was disgusting. Turns out she worked thier & she was a manager. To do that in front of people who couldn't find toilet paper anywhere is disgusting & for customer service & cashiers to laugh bout it DISCUSTING

Joe's No Frills has been around awhile now, it is part of the Loblaw's grocery chain, which has many different brands. When No Frill's opened it certainly did have some low prices, much better than most of its competitors, and so low prices=No Frills. As time went by prices on many items seemed to be creeping up, much closer to what other stores were selling the same items for also higher end products appeared at the same price or more than their competitors. Unfortunately many shoppers had programed their brains to equate No Frills with the lowest prices in the area. Another one of No Frill's guarantee was to have the lowest price on items that there competitors had and they would match it. But you had better read the fine print on that offer which could be found in their flyers and ads, but not found on the brightly colored T-shirts advertising the same. I saw one person who found an item at a lower price in the Shoppers Drug Store which is in the same building, this person wanted No Frill's to match the price. No way said the management, Shopper's was not a grocery store. In fact, the only store that No Frill's will match are the two Safeway's in the immediate area, one 3 blocks away and the other 5 blocks away They will not match any of the other local food marts, vegetable stores in the area or the other major grocery store 8 blocks away which happens to be part of the Loblaw's grocery chain but a different name. When I asked them why they would not match the answer was "we are only matching Safeway". So, bottom line, when you shop at No Frill's be very careful of what you purchase as you may find it at another store for a lessor price.
