People are usually really friendly though!…read more I like how they have grocery pick up (even before Covid) you order on the app and just call them when you're in the parking spot and they load it all in your car. Very convenient but the 2 times I used it they double charged me and it was a pain trying to get my money back because whoever I talked to said it wasn't their fault/problem.

The young man chatted up every person in front of me, so when I got to the register and said hello, I found it odd to be ignored. Maybe he didn't hear me. Then he tried to take my card assuming it was a gift card, but it's not. Then once I had signed the receipt, I noticed he hadn't moved my purchased items off of the belt. He then reminded me not to forget them, then was like "oh, do you want me to lift them over to that side for you?" So strange! I have never had to collect my purchases from the conveyer belt before, let alone asked if I wanted them lifted for me. Maybe I reminded him of someone he doesn't like.

So I've been to Canada a few times and my buddy tells me we're going over to Canada Tire…read more I truly thought we were going to buy new tires for his car but when we got to Canada tire I found out the store has a little bit of everything. I am from California and I haven't seen a store like this in many many years. I felt like I was sick back in time because this huge department store had a little bit of everything. Not only did you get your tires rotated but you can also pick up hunting gear, cookware and a new Weedwhacker. I really enjoyed visiting Canada tire, if I lived in the area I would shop here all the time!

A quick, and convenient stop, with easy access from the 401. Lots of options for other food and…read moreshopping around here, too. I recommend taking a break here to stretch your legs, and I will be back. As for the service at the gas station itself, it was as you would expect - serve yourself, pay at the pump. Easy in, easy out. The only downer was the chilly -10 outside today.

Approx. 6 weeks ago I bought Northern Grill fully cooked Pork back ribs from Giant Tiger on…read moreMillenium Park Way here in Belleville. I thawed the ribs out set my oven for 375 I set the cooking timer for 15 minutes and began cooking. At 15 minutes I opened the oven and turned the back ribs over and basted the ribs and set the oven for 10 minutes. No good still raw, I reset the oven for 10 more minutes. I could have cooked these ribs for 4 hours but it would not have mattered. These ribs were pure Grisel, grease and pure fat. I threw 3/4 of these ribs away. Down the tube went $11.00. I really did not want to give these ribs one star but they require it. I buy a fair amount of food and clothes from Giant Tiger but I will definitely use more discretion in the future. These ribs were absolutely terrible. The old expression "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR". I will buy my ribs from M&M meats from now on.

The customer service is polite and friendly and it is conveniently located in a plaza with a Dollarama and a nearby Salvation Army store. A Tim Horton's is right there in the vicinity as well so you can fit in several of your shopping needs.

Quinte Mall is Belleville's largest mall. I spent a good chunk of my day shopping there on Civic…read moreHoliday last weekend. This mall was open on a holiday, on a Sunday, at 10 am. It's a bit insane, until you put all the puzzle pieces together. I realized that Belleville is home to Shorelines Casino. When you have a casino in town, chances are that you want to entice visitors to shop in the area. I will say that I had a good experience dishing out my dough at this mall. There is ample parking. I parked fairly close to the main entrance and walked in. I was pleased that it has an Old Navy, a Shoppers Drug Mart, EB Games, two music stores (Sam and Sunrise), Eddie Bauer, and more. It doesn't have the feel of an upscale mall, which I appreciate. The mix of stores is nice and I sometimes felt that I was at an outlet. As an example, I scored a pair of jeans at Old Navy for $9.99. They were of great quality and fit nicely. It has a huge food court with eateries that you would expect, such as A&W, Bourbon St. Grill, Mr. Sub, and more. What threw me off was Toro. It had Japanese characters in its sign. I thought it was teriyaki or sushi. Nope, it was an Italian place. Huh? If you are looking for a restaurant to have lunch or dinner at, East Side Mario's is here. It looked busy when I left this mall. I wanted to get a late lunch somewhere else that wasn't a chain. Although the directory has Chapters, GAP Factory Store, LCBO, and more, they are actually not connected to the rest of the mall when you are inside it, walking around. You have to duck outside to shop at these various places. It's a weird setup. My lunch was really an intermission. I then drove back and had round two of shopping until I dropped. The GAP Factory Store is fabulous. For a while, I have been looking for button-fly jeans. I never had them when the trend was there in my high school years. I scored a pair of them that was heavily discounted. Next to the GAP is LCBO. I ended up getting a vodka soda and an orange creamsi-ale that were nicely chilled for my consumption. You can easily walk the entire mall in a day. I loved being there on a holiday Sunday. I rarely stroll an entire mall these days, as I typically end up broke and sad. However, I still had money after this excursion and was a happy tourist. It's a decent mall. (339)

I was surprised at the size of this mall - it was much bigger than anticipated! The only odd thing…read morein my opinion is that you have to access the Chapters (and thereby the Starbucks) from outside the mall. We had wandered in and wandered around looking for it. I think there were some other shops also only accessible from outside. Like so many modern malls, this one has its fair share of cell phone providers in kiosks down the centre aisles. You've got your work cut out for you, doing your research on these! The big draw to this mall is the big Sears store, but there were all kinds of others to choose from: Ladies' fashions (Danier, Ardene, le Chateau, etc) and shoe stores like Payless Shoes, and SoftMoc. What a great mall!! A refreshing change from the malls at home.

Sunrise Records were one of the stores that I would visit. I was thrilled to find this Sunrise at Quinte Mall. I felt like I was transported back to being young and carefree, listening to countless hours of music when I found out that this mall has both a Sunrise and a Sam. I was simply missing Yonge Street. I walked into this Sunrise and immediately browsed the new releases section. It is exciting to me to look at new releases and own a copy of the latest album that I am dying to have. It doesn't feel the same way when you are streaming music on your app! This store has an amazing selection of vinyl records. The downside is that vinyl is so expensive, thanks to only a handful of record-pressing places in the world. I saw INXS's Kick album go for $55. Insane! This store has cool music collections. It also had a Mickey Mouse collector's chess set, to commemorate Mickey's 90th birthday, for $90. Coincidence? I don't think so. I love the novelty items at this store. Pac-Man mugs and LED lights? Yes, please! Pusheen mini plushies? I want them all! I managed to get the remastered Pet Shop Boys's Actually album. It comes with an additional album of songs, remixes, and unreleased songs. The price was also right. I went up to the counter to pay. I got a friendly woman who helped with my transaction. I paid with a credit card and was happy with my purchase. (345)
