I have been going to the Circle K on Elgin Street for 7 years. The previous owner was kind funny…read morerespectful the coffee was always made in the morning the food was fresh muffins pastries the store was clean and it was never locked in the morning . Ever since it's been turned over to New Management the store has gone to crap . Especially the young guy who works in the morning sometimes at night is rude disrespectful has a poor attitude threatens to call the police anytime he doesn't like what you have to say and he's extremely homophobic when it comes to the trans community I've watched him laugh and mock trans people in the store . It has been addressed to the new owner several times but to be quite honest with you it seems like he doesn't even understand what you're saying to him because he will just laugh and say okay okay and walk away the individual seems to still be working there after several complaints against him about being homophobic and disrespectful to the trans community. The health department needs to be called because the food is disgusting do not eat the hot dogs pastries or the muffins for 3 days there was hundreds of fruit flies crawling all over them and they were still selling them to the public instead of removing them and cleaning out the cabinet they allowed it to sit in there for three more days. Overall some of the staff and the management have a poor attitude and with all that time setting up the pastry section and the pizza section in the hot dog section there hasn't once been Pizza the hot dogs are disgusting and the pastries have fruit flies crawling all over them what a waste of time and it's unfortunate that the old owner took such Pride in his customers and the store to be turned over to someone who could care less

They have tons of energy drinks, candies and chips. They also have cool food-themed hoodies and t-shirts. They had a ramen hoodie and a Cheetos hoodie.

Got gas here as it was simply convenient. Could have been…read moremy first time inside the store come to think of it. They really have everything! Lots of prepped food. Lots of fridges and coolers. I grabbed a warm pretzel, healthy chips and some nuts. Wine....of course. The wines however, were not labeled under correct pricing so sticker shock happened later at the til. It was minus 200 out though so I just wanted to get home. Service was friendly after a bit of a line up. The gentleman worker/cashier told me to come back in summer when the store was cleaner and floors, drier. It looked clean and pleasant to me considering winter and heavy volume. They just have to put all their wines in the right price slots! Getting gas was a breeze. Easy and many pumps. Off a very busy main road and requires patience at rush hour coming in and leaving the lot.

To : Customer Relations…read more I had gone grocery shopping at Magasin General in the village at Mount Tremblan. On checkout, the cashier rudely told me to bag while emptying my grocery cart, which was quite full. She was rude and came across as being racist since I am of East Indian origin. She also suggested that I Van shop elsewhere. She seemed polite to other non Caucasian customers and so this is a clear case of discrimination. I was upset and left the store with a full cart of groceries without purchasing anything . I sincerely hope you look into this matter and give it serious consideration as I will definitely be sharing my experience to others.

A friend and I discovered Ottawa South Groceteria while we were students at Carleton. We first saw…read morethis grocery/convenience store on the way to buying books and coursepacks at Haven Books, which is directly across the street. We mainly took notice because of their big "Free Delivery" sign. We asked the man at the counter for more information. He asked us if we went to Carleton and lived in residence, and we said yes, so he told us that after we were finished shopping around, that he'd drive us back to campus with all of our groceries. I've had some friends go to the store and have been told that they don't deliver, so I'm assuming that they probably only deliver within a very small radius, Carleton campus included. If my friend and I were just lucky that day and the man was feeling extra nice, then we were definitely very appreciative. The store is very small, though they did have many of your basic needs, like milk, bread, and some produce. My friend and I did a bit of our grocery shopping together, including milk, juice, bread, cream cheese, hot dogs, bananas, a couple of chocolate bars, and a few other miscellaneous items. The prices were higher than you would expect to pay at your average grocery store, but cheaper than you would normally pay at a convenience store. The man and what we assumed to be his wife that ran the store were very nice and accommodating. We didn't come here too often, though, as we did more bulk shopping at the Loblaws via O-Train, but it was nice to know a store like this was (still is) very close to campus.

Groceteria is a small grocery-type store on Sunnyside, just east of Carleton U. What first…read moreintrigued me about the place was the sign that said 'Free Delivery'. A grocery that delivers? How awesome is that? Winter is coming and it would be sweet to find a place that would save me from having to venture out on those evenings when the temperature falls below negative 20 below! So, I went in and asked the owner about the delivery service. Sadly, they do NOT deliver. But, they haven't been able to afford to buy a new sign. Dang! Nevertheless, I took a look around while I was there and found the Groceteria to be a handy little place. It has everything a good convenience store offers (chips, pop, cigarettes, magazines, etc.). Plus, it has a small produce section where you can get some fruits and vegetables (bananas, apples, tomatoes). The owners are of Indian (or at least, Indian Sub-Continent) descent, and they offer a selection of big, homemade samosas. It is a friendly store, where everyone seems to know everyone else. Pity about the delivery....!
