    This Canadian Tire location never has what you want in stock and rarely has more than one person…read moreworking on cash resulting in very long lines at the register. I find their prices are also consistantly higher than other stores, even other Canadian Tire stores! The return policies are unethical and they don't answer the telephone when you call the store Fortunately there is a newer, larger Canadian Tire location a few kilometers away in Bedford that has lots of inventory and helpful staff. The Lower Sackville location could well be the poorest run CT in the country.

    I waited two weeks to write this review, because I didn't want to leave such a negative review…read moreduring the Christmas Season. On December 23rd, 2022, I was shopping at this Canadian Tire in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia, and witnessed a senior staff member telling a young staff to just go lay her head down on the table and see if she felt any better. The staff looked very sick and in visible discomfort. I then overheard several of the staff gossiping about the sick staff member and talking about her needing to "learn her lesson." I don't know what inspired that, if they thought she should have given more notice that she was sick or if they thought she was hung over or what, but I could not believe that post covid pandemic, they would not let a sick staff go home and then would talk about her in a group. The staff must have noticed me staring at them, because then they followed me around the store. No less then 4 different staff came up to me, one after the other, in different aisles as I browsed for Christmas sales, asking me if I needed any assistance. It was very disturbing and intimidating. I understand that Christmas is very stressful for retail staff, but the bullying behavior of the staff towards their sick colleague was something I just can't forget and why I am writing this review.

    Costco... where you'll come for the bulk toilet paper but stay for the hotdogs. Wait, that doesn't…read moresound right! Out of the two HRM Costco locations, I prefer this one for a couple of reasons. I will drive the extra miles even though Bayer's Lake location is much closer. The Dartmouth Crossing store is a newer build than Bayer's Lake. I find the aisles are bigger and easier to move around when the store is busy. The whole set up of the Dartmouth Crossing shopping area with wide, double lane streets and dedicated entrance/exit ramps is much better laid out than Bayer's Lake. Bayer's Lake was the city's first foray into a dedicated big-box shopping district. in the suburbs. Dartmouth Crossing learned from their mistakes. We usually seem to make Costco runs on the weekend; when lots of other people have the same idea. Shopping in crowded stores with stressed out people is like nails on the chalkboard of my soul. So being able to get through our list quickly and in and out of stripmall purgatory is paramount. Like any Costco, this store is a great place to stock up on the family necessities. After going through two in diapers I can say with authority that Kirkland baby wipes are the bomb and cheapest to boot. The Costco tire centre is the cheapest place in HRM to get your oil changed and has the lowest price on the big name tires. I can't leave out their dogs. At $1.50 for a drink and a gigantic hotdog it must be cheapest lunch in HRM.

    I had a deeply uncomfortable and upsetting experience at Costco that I feel compelled to share…read more We purchased just four items, with one empty bag placed in our cart. As we exited, the receipt checker looked at our receipt and said, "Just four items?" My husband politely greeted him, but he didn't respond. Instead, he asked sharply, "What's in the bag?" and began inspecting it thoroughly only to find it empty. What hurt most was what happened immediately after. A white customer ahead of us was barely glanced at; their receipt was checked without any scrutiny, and they were waved through without the employee even looking into their cart. The contrast in treatment was glaring and painful. As brown customers, we couldn't help but feel that we were being singled out and treated with suspicion purely because of how we look. The irony is that the employee himself appeared to be an immigrant, which made the experience even more disheartening. Costco promotes itself as a welcoming, respectful place for everyone. Yesterday's interaction did not reflect those values. No customer should be made to feel humiliated or judged based on race or appearance. I truly hope Costco takes such experiences seriously and provides better training to ensure all customers are treated with equal respect and dignity.
