I dropped a star because I was over charged there, on a marked down product and the employee was adamant he didn't, but basic math showed he's implacable attitude was baseless. Watch your bill totals here, is all that I am saying. But they do have nice amenities, the toilets were clean and spotless. Much appreciated.

It's funny how I have never reviewed this Dollar Tree. It's time to fix this issue!…read more I tend to get my hair cut at the Great Clips next door. Afterwards, I typically pop by Dollar Tree to browse and shop. I was in the area the other day and decided to drop by. I prefer Dollar Tree to Dollarama. I like the selection and everything is $1.25. At the latter, there are items that even go for $4.25. What's the point of being a dollar store if you are paying dollars for a single item? I suppose that we can blame our Canadian dollar competing with the American one when it comes to Dollarama pricing. Anyway, this Dollar Tree is the only one in Markham. I love the selection of items, from sardines, to dumplings and chicken in cans. I also love the noodle section. The seasonal section is awesome. Easter is nearly here. You can get scented Easter bunny plush toys and a ton of chocolate items. Nice! Staff are friendly. I managed to witness two staff members training a new one. They were much younger than the new hire, but were incredibly supportive of her progress. I still miss the awesomeness of Dollar Tree in the States. Perhaps one day, the frozen food section will magically appear in Canadian stores. In the meantime, I am pleased to get decent items that are cheap and of good quality here. (132)

Tip: The phone accessories section is excellent…read more On my final day in Winnipeg, my car charger that had both USB A and C ports died on me. This car charger that plugs into any car's cigarette lighter had served me well. Devices charge faster using a car charger than simply plugging it into an available USB A or C port in the vehicle. I was at Heartland Centre the following day and noticed this Dollarama. I wondered if it had a replacement car charger for me. This store is in a plaza across from a trifecta building with Starbucks, Copper Branch, and Edo Japan. Best Buy and Jysk anchor this section of Heartland. I had no problem finding a parking spot. I pulled into an available one and walked into the store. Kitchen utensils greeted me. It was so deadly. I wanted everything from a garlic press to training chopsticks. I already know how to use chopsticks, but the training ones were so cute and functional! It took little time for me to find the phone accessories aisle. This store had two car chargers. One had two USB A ports. The other one had one USB A port and one USB C port. Perfect! I liked an avocado cover for your laptop's camera. I didn't need one. If I did, this one would have been mine. I also found Lysol toilet bowl cleaner with hydrogen peroxide. I had never tried it before, so I picked up a bottle. This store didn't have any human cashiers. I had to use one of the self-checkout kiosks. The one that I used worked well. I scanned my two items and then paid with a credit card. Done! My car charger works nicely. I'm so glad that I got a replacement one here. The Lysol toilet bowl cleaner with hydrogen peroxide worked nicely. I was impressed! I had a terrific experience here. I'd return again when I'm in the area. (303)

We had to go through the entire showroom to exit. A couple of friends and I have thought about shopping and eating at the restaurant of this IKEA store in Etobicoke. I don't visit IKEA often. If I do, the closest one to my home is west of Leslie Street, just south of Sheppard Avenue East. We all came here after work on Wednesday. I took Dixie Road down to The Queensway, and made a right turn to enter the parking lot. I found a parking spot fairly close to the entrance. I backed into it and then walked in. I was early. I used the washroom before my friends had arrived and again before I headed to my car to head home. The women's washroom has a hand sensor to open the door, which was highly convenient. I used the same stall both times. It was clean. I also liked that there was a small tray-like shelf that I used to put my two paid items in. The soap dispensers could be better. One didn't work. The other one foamed up too effectively! I waited for my friends to arrive. I sat on a chair in the lobby. Comfy! I was thrilled to see them when they had arrived. We took the elevator upstairs to start the showroom tour. I loved seeing products used in bedroom, kitchen, washroom, and home setups. We got lots of ideas! A few thoughts: - I love the plushies at this store. I need to go back and get the snowy owl. It also had the red heart with two arms that I already own. - I like the novelty lamps. Clouds. Owls. Pencils. Bears. I want them all! - The tea lights in packs of 100 are the best bang for your buck. - I have always liked the elderberry juice. There's also lingonberry and blueberry. I ended up getting the lingon juice and an owl lamp. One of my friends got a nice pitcher. The other comes to IKEA regularly, so she showed me the ropes and got a few items that she oddly doesn't own! You pay at the exit. They are self-serve kiosks with a handheld scanner at each one. I scanned my IKEA family pass. It was cool seeing my purchases in icon form online after the fact. I used the scanner on my two items. I then paid for my items with a credit card. I used a MasterCard. I was pleased to see that it accepts Discover, which is a card that I got when I lived in Minnesota and still have. There are two floors at the Swedish restaurant. The main floor has seating. It's the second floor where all good eats and drinks are. It was my first time dining in. I don't know why I haven't. My friend who pretty much lives at IKEA was great showing me the ropes. She got a cart with wheels that holds your trays of food. I got a tray with hej (Swedish for hey) on it. The dessert display showed up first. I got a raspberry tiered cake slice. Yummy! I got to the hot foods. I wanted the classic Swedish meatballs. As someone who has had authentic ones with lingonberry sauce in Karlskrona, Sweden (I work for a Swedish company and was on a business trip back then), I was excited to compare and contrast. The man behind the counter was super friendly. She got my plate full of peas, mashed potatoes, lingonberry sauce, Swedish meatballs, and gravy for me. I thanked him. I was so happy seeing these goodies. I didn't know that you pay for your drink first before you grab a glass and fill it up with whatever beverage you want. I am so glad that my friend was there to guide me. She also let me know that fountain drinks are unlimited. Yes to refills! I paid for my meal. I got my IKEA family pass barcode scanned again. I then paid with my credit card. We had rolled our shopping cart containing our purchases over to a table. Our other friend waited there as we got our food. I got back first, so he could get some food. I loved my Swedish meatballs meal. It took me back to Karlskrona. The meatballs were on the smaller side at IKEA, but everything tasted like what I had in Sweden. Yummy comfort food. I loved the generous sides that I got. I was happy with my mashed potatoes and peas. I could have used more lingonberry sauce. It's my favourite! I started off with a lingon drink. The glass was on the small side. I feel like a larger glass would have been better. Anyway, I filled my small glass up with ice and the lingon drink. So refreshing! I returned to try the cola without sugar. It's not as yummy as the Diet Coke or Pepsi version, but it was fine. I'd recommend adding a bit of the lemon drink to it. For my final beverage visit, I got the pear drink. OMG! It was delicious. I should drink pear-flavoured beverages more often. The downside dining after going through the showrooms is that there's no direct path to exit. We ended up going through the entire showroom again to get to the exit. Yay to dropping by! (239)

I was provided with a service appointment date of June 3, with an expected arrival window between…read more8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. for a Taskrabbit assembler named Abby to complete the assembly of my IKEA furniture. When Abby did not arrive within the scheduled timeframe, I contacted him directly and was given information that conflicted with the appointment details I had received. I then contacted IKEA, through whom the assembly service had been arranged. After navigating multiple automated prompts and speaking with customer service representatives, the assembly was rescheduled for the same day at 3:00 p.m. Unfortunately, 3:00 p.m. came and went without Abby arriving. At approximately 3:30 p.m., attempts to contact him were unsuccessful, as he did not answer his phone. Despite spending the better part of an entire day communicating with IKEA's chatbot, AI support systems, several customer service representatives, Taskrabbit, and the assigned assembler, the task that had been paid for was never completed. While the IKEA customer service representatives I spoke with were courteous and genuinely tried to assist, neither IKEA, Taskrabbit, nor the assigned Tasker were ultimately able to resolve the issue or fulfill the service commitment. To date, I have never received a follow-up explanation from Abby regarding the missed appointment. As a result of this experience, I cannot recommend either IKEA's assembly service or Taskrabbit unless customers are confident they can assemble the furniture themselves or have an alternative arrangement in place. When problems arise, there appears to be a lack of accountability and communication, leaving customers without answers and wasting valuable time.
