After a few "takes" and review of the jpeg files, my sweetie made her final selection for print which took 10 minutes. She also asked for the jpeg file to be emailed to her.

A large space with lots of PO boxes, this store is a post office only location, not connected to any other Shoppers or corner stores. The man sitting there was absolutely bored out of his mind though. No expression, minimal words, and didn't want to be there at all! I don't blame him though. They probably don't get much traffic at this location! (But some better customer service probably wouldn't have killed him either...) However, he did know his stuff about OSAP, so that is definitely a plus there... If you're looking for a quick postal location, this is a safe bet if you're in the area!

My parcel has a paid shipment barcode with a 2.5kg limit, when I dropped off my parcel the lady dumped it onto the scale and pointed at the weight shown and said LOOK!

So I left and went to the post office down the street and they scanned it in and accepted it fine without any issues. Don't use this post office they are a waste of a trip and a waste of time!!!

Absolutely unacceptable service from Canada Post…read more My package was marked out for delivery, and I waited during the delivery window they provided. Canada Post then put it on the wrong truck because of their own processing error. Their representative apologized, confirmed it was a missort, and specifically guaranteed that it would be delivered the following day. Instead, they returned the package to the sender without making a single delivery attempt. My address was correct, I was available to receive it, and I did absolutely nothing to cause the return. Getting help was just as frustrating. I had to fight simply to reach a supervisor, only to hear the word "sorry" repeatedly while nobody offered an actual solution. They couldn't intercept the package, deliver it, compensate me, or even take meaningful responsibility for what happened. Now I have to wait for the package to travel all the way back to the seller before I can get my money refunded--then reorder everything and wait all over again. These were products I deliberately ordered in advance because I was running out. Canada Post's mistake has cost me time, disrupted my plans, and left me without the products I paid for. An apology means nothing when your company admits the mistake but leaves the customer to deal with every consequence. This is not the first delivery problem I've experienced with Canada Post, but it is easily one of the most ridiculous.

However, like that saying about one bad apple... there is an older man (I would never use the word gentleman), who I believe may be named Dave, but I'm not sure and he is, for lack of a better word, offensive to say the least. I have lived next to and shopped weekly for over 15 years at this Shoppers Drug Mart location, including picking up all my prescriptions. Today I was in picking up a few things and noticed vitamins on sale and decided to try them. At the checkout they came up at a different price so the lovely lady at the cash went and checked and agreed they were on sale. They were on the very top shelf so it was difficult to see or read the tag and honestly due to my eyesight I would need a ladder and my reading glasses to get close enough to read all the print on the shelf tag. The lady on the cash mentioned to the older man about the price discrepancy and he went off to check. When he came back, he yelled at me in front of the line of people, one of them who lives in my building, that they were not on sale and accused me of changing the price tag. I was shocked and absolutely horrified. I have never done anything like that, and I never would. I was so upset I almost started to cry, which I did when I got home. I am now too embarrassed and traumatized to set foot in that store again, and I am so embarrassed to see neighbours in my building, who now think I am capable of doing something like that thanks to this horrible human being. I am not even sure what to do about picking up my medication. I feel like I need to write to the Shoppers Drug Mart head office, not that it would probably do any good, but no one should be treated like this, I'm devastated.

In general, I really like Shoppers Drug Mart. Because this location is smaller than most, they…read moredon't carry all the items I want. For example, their selection of food is extremely limited. On more than one occasion, the cashier is missing in action. I've rung the bell but the cashier doesn't materialize quickly or apologize when she finally shows up. I like that they offer a 20% discount on regular priced items every Thursday to anyone 55 and older with a PC optimum card. However, many items are sale priced on Thursdays (usually less than 20% off) so the seniors discount is not applicable. They have a post office at the back which is handy for free Amazon pickups. There's lots of parking in this busy parking lot.

Markham Civic Centre is one of them. I think of Markham Civic Centre as Markham's City Hall. I've come here for a bunch of different services and events since I became a Markhamite twice (first time moving here with my parents and my current stint since returning to the GTA from Winnipeg many moons ago). During my undergraduate years, I came here with a friend who wanted to get a marriage licence. He didn't want to try getting one in Toronto, so we came here instead. It was fairly easy to get one. You can also get married here if you wanted to! Back in the late 2000's, another friend felt bad missing my birthday, which was sweet. It wasn't a huge deal to me. She took me to my first Markham Ribfest. It was held at Markham Civic Centre. I will say that it was a weird setup. Markham Ribfest needed a bigger venue. The ribfest vendors fit here just fine. However, parking was an issue. The lot is decent for regular visitors during business hours. It can't handle massive crowds for events that go into the evening. We actually parked across the street in front of the No Frills and walked over. I will say that this event was my first ribfest and it was awesome! I love going to any ribfest that I can during the summertime. During this period, maybe before ServiceOntario supported health card renewals, I had to get my photo taken for my Ontario health card at Markham Civic Centre. The building was specific, but I got there just fine. My photo was taken and all was great. Since then, I have always hit a ServiceOntario location to have my photo taken when I need a new one for my driver's licence or Ontario health card. I'm not sure why the photoshoot happened here. I'm glad that I got my photo taken somewhere! During the wintertime, you can skate here for free. It's not as elaborate as a setup that you get at Toronto's Nathan Phillips Square with a place to rent your skates, music, a snack stand, and so on. You simply bring yourself and your skates, and have at it. In the summertime, this artificial skating rink becomes a lovely water fountain. It's nice to sit down and admire it. I'm happy that Markham Civic Centre exists. I don't frequent it as much as I should, but it's there when I need services or just want to be a tourist in my backyard. (494)

Cons - Time: be mindful that you have a maximum of 60 minutes.

This isn't the easiest to do if you have a 9-5.
