Didn't see anything else I needed so left empty handed. Clean and well laid out store. They had a few people working and its wasn't overly busy when I was there.

This is a big dollar store, with a bunch of vicious looking women circling the large store room…read morewith baskets in hand, emptying the racks of cheap merchandise and paying around $1 or two for every item. But as far as dollar stores go, this one has a big selection. I don't know how dollar stores get their merchandise, but I'll be looking into it. I found Colgate toothpaste (the good kind) for $1 here. There's your regular assortment of cheap crap that will break in two days, but if you're a dollar store enthusiast, you should give this place a try. A hundred angry middle-aged women looking for deals with baskets in their arms can't be wrong....

Located right inside the mall, on the second level, this Dollar store is DA BOMB!…read more In fact, I"ll be honest: I didn't even know there were ANY dollar stores downtown Calgary. To find out that this store is not only downtown but located right next door to yet ANOTHER dollar store was like music to my ears. I needed a random couple of things and lucky for me, this dollar store carried every single thing I needed. I'm a HUGE fan of dollar stores, and I'm an even bigger fan of this dollar store because, yes, you guessed it, It's downtown! Happy lunch hour shopping y'all!

This dollar store is set right beside another one on the second floor of Scotia Centre. As I said…read morein my review of the other, each one has its strengths. I like this one for all the cotchkies and random things it has. It has a great selection of kids toys, which is perfect for gifts for friends kids but also for immature joke gifts for your friends. Nerf guns are hilariously fun. They have a decent selection of electronic equipment, like computer cords and some analogue TV stuff, blank CDS and storage items. It's no future shop, but if you know what you're looking for you can save a ton of money. They also have a bigger selection of bland gift-wares than the other, including candles and canada related items, which is perfect for secret santas and travelling abroad. I recommend taking the time to go through both to scope out exactly what it is that you want.

We needed Christmas Cheer for the holidays. There is absolutely no way I'm shopping the week of Christmas!!! It's crazy crazy busy from the time it opens to the time It closes no thank you. The cashier was very helpful and friendly, was quick getting in and out with our Christmas cheer! Even was able to snap a quick pic!!

#158 Yeah, I know…read more It's called Dollarama which implies things that cost a $ or multiples of a $. However, based on the current economy, not many items besides bland everyday greeting cards are a $ (but it is the thought that counts, right?). That being said, there are many products between a $.50 and 3$ that are a good buy. I personally like the smoky coloured Coca-Cola glasses and other coloured glassware from the kitchen department, micro-usb cables (when they are not out), hangars for clothes (somehow no matter many I buy, they just vanish in the closet like socks in a dryer), and office supplies (good place for pens and paper) including extension cords, small tools, and power bars. I forgot to mention one of the better places to get last minute party supplies! Cleanup on aisle 3, wait, the micro-fiber towels are not there but a couple of aisles over (huge selection in automotive). And since I need to clean up other messes, good place for Band-Aids, q-tips, toothpaste (Arm & Hammer sensitive), and other items of a hygienic nature. I like this location since it has lots o parking even on the weekend and it is larger than most including the one near Sunridge Mall and the one on Denman Street in Vancouver's West End. I usually troll once a week to see what new products they have. It is my escape; sad, I know. The friendliness and service can be hit or mess but this is Canada so this is expected. Add to that, about 25% of the time, the product is the same price or cheaper elsewhere.

Terrible customer service by the fellow in charge on the night of December 27, 2018 at approx. 8:15…read morepm. I should have taken his name. The young man at the cash register was awesome! There was also a very helpful staff member in the aisle.I found a discrepancy between my calculation and the amount I was being charged but the person who seemed to be the evening manager was condescending and not at all willing to hear my complaint. I estimated the total to be around $23 and I was asked to pay $30 and change. He told me I didn't know how to add so I pulled out my calculator and as I added the items on the screen, he deleted it, but I was able to finish the calculation and showed it to him. He told me he was not willing to ring my purchase through again so I left. I hope he gets some lessons in customer service. Luckily there many other dollar stores in Calgary.

I am a Safeway Club member, so i always try to go to a Safweway when they have good sales on, and…read morethis is my first choice to go to. The alies are always well organized, and fully stocked. I rarely see a product all sold out. The recently got the self-serve check out, which is nice for when you just have a few items. The staff is always friendly, even if its just the guys who gather the carts outside or the ladies on their smoke breaks. The hot food there is always delicous. A few times I have gone there and they didnt have what I wanted but that very rarely happens. They also have a sandwich stand where you can make your own as well as hot soups.

Awful store! To start, I am 63 years old and I never wanted to be a cashier or work in a grocery…read morestore. Nor do I want to check and bag my own groceries, which I was forced to do as no cashiers were open!. I have been a faithful Safeway customer for over 20 years but today that ends. Safeway has closed my favorite store (Thorncliffe, where the employees were soooo nice and they knew me) so the next closest is Beddington. NEVER AGAIN! (and I mean never!) I realize as I write this that a corporation such as yours doesn't care if I return or not. I get that but in my opinion, Safeway/Sobeys is now on the bottom of my list. several items I purchased wouldn't even scan and due to this I needed help. (of course I did as it is not my job! I could understand if I scan my own products and do your job there was a discount, but of course there isn't!) I am ashamed of the state of your supermarkets now. I'm aware of others that feel the same way I do. SHAME on you!
