I walked into a NoFrills yesterday.... Within seconds, my DD was being crushed by wall to wall shopping carts, by shoppers who didn't seem to understand that you don't ram 6 y/o's with a stroller while you shove people out of the way of the milk case. And for this particular location, Communicating consideration is a second language so trying to ask for any measure of consideration earned me ugly looks and more cart-shoving. Shopping in this neighborhood is a little like a street market bazaar... at your own risk!
It was utter madness and I couldn't even put my shopping bags on the floor without getting hit by a cart. So we dumped everything on the floor and left ; I wasn't going to continue to let my child get hurt in the store. As we passed the checkouts, the lines were over 20 minutes long and the staff looked utterly overworked so speaking to a manager wasn't going to change anything.
So we left, my DD sobbing about the "bad store", and went to Safeway. Where I bought our necessities for $20 more than NoFrills, but earned 3 AM. And I didn't have to feel like I was in an episode of Supermarket Sweep!!!!
Ah well. Experiment tried and failed.
