    Used curbside pick up here due to covid. (Which they charge you for.) I was given dented cans and…read morehamburger meat that was expiring the next day. When they came to the car, they asked if it was ok to give me this old meat. No discount. So if I refuse I get no food. Lovely place that takes advantage of people who are trying to stay safe during covid. I've spoken to other community members and they've had the same sub par products experience. Seems like store policy is to unload the expiring and damaged goods to curbside customers who have no choice. I drive to YIG at Riverside South or Smiths Falls. I will never shop here again if i can help it.

    As a former employee there, I can say nothing but bad things about this place. I quit on spot…read moreafter a month of working there. I won't go into details but the store owner Sylvie Jonsson was very disrespectful to myself and my coworker/friend while we were working. Sylvie also basically harassed me while I was in my department working. In my opinion, if she wanted to clear the air she should have brought us into her office and not spoken to us the way she did in front of customers. What she did is considered workplace harassment. She used her position in the store as a threat to my coworker and i. Basically saying that she can fire us at any given moment if she wanted to. After the whole ordeal, I quit on spot and the same day, my coworker gave in her 2 weeks notice. When this happened, Sylvie then began trying to 'be the bigger person' in the situation. Basically panicking because now she knows that she's going to lose staff because of the way she treated us. I dont recommend working for Sylvie Jonsson at all... Unless you want to work for someone who is insanely disrespectful and rude, and who thinks that the world revolves around her. Another thing that happened was people were trying to defend her saying that she 'has a temper'. Im sorry but temper or no temper, I'm not being treated like that. Do yourself a favour and dont work for her. I left that place crying the day I quit. Not worth it.
