They have also eliminated some fees. This from an email I received from Galen Weston which I'm sure several of us got....
Are the eliminated pick up fees only for seniors? I hadn't heard about that for anyone.
I believe it's for everyone. I am going to post the entire letter so you can see. Sorry I just cherry picked that one bit however here you go.
| Hi Everyone, Things continue to move fast and change quickly. Earlier today the Canadian Government announced they are restricting our international borders to limit the impact of COVID-19. As each of us try to understand how that will affect our daily lives, our friends, and our families, I wanted to reach out again. Those who went shopping recently will have seen extraordinary numbers of people in stores, long lines, and aisles empty of product. This was a result of extreme levels of buying as millions of Canadians stocked up their kitchens and medicine cabinets. I’m sure the many photos of bare shelves on social media only increased your level of concern. First and foremost. Do not worry. We are not running out of food or essential supplies. Our supply chain and store teams are responding to the spikes in volume and quickly getting the most important items back on the shelf. Volumes are already normalizing somewhat, and we are catching up. There are a few items, like hand sanitizer, that may take longer to get back, but otherwise we are in good shape. Another concern you may have is that your supermarket or drugstore could raise prices on the items you and your family need most. Do not worry. This will not happen at our stores. We will not raise a single price on any item to take advantage of COVID-19. Some of you may also be worried that your local Shoppers Drug Mart or supermarket could close as part of shutting down certain stores and services. Do not worry. We have been in contact with both Provincial and Federal governments. We all agree that food and drug stores are essential services and we must do what we need to in order to keep them operating and serving every community in the days and weeks ahead. It won't be business as usual. But, you will be able to count on us. Our teams from across the country, at stores in every community, have been hard at work around the clock to live up to that commitment. Please keep in mind our service relies on keeping them, and in turn you, safe and healthy. That is our top priority, and it may mean limiting the number of people in our stores at any given time as well as asking customers to keep a certain distance from each other while shopping to reduce the risk of making one another sick. We are prepared for this, and to support those most in need, we are opening some of our stores early with dedicated hours for seniors and people living with disabilities to come before the crowds. We are also encouraging those customers who cannot shop our stores to take advantage of our e-prescribing and PC Express options like click-and-collect and home delivery. Last week we lowered delivery prices and eliminated pick up fees and, just like in our stores, we’ve seen a spike in volume. We are managing the rising number of orders and ramping up our systems as quickly as we can so customers can shop online with confidence. However, it will be difficult for us to meet all the additional demand, possibly limiting availability for people who are sick, in self-isolation, or at elevated risk. So, I would ask that if you are healthy, mobile, and symptom-free, please do your best to make it into the store. All of us will face uncertainty and new challenges over the coming days. Our stores and our services will be far from perfect. But, we will do everything in our power to make sure you have what you need for yourselves and your families. As we have more updates we will continue to communicate, online, in-store, and through our PC Optimum app. For now, let me leave you with four things:
One example in particular stood out. A few days ago, someone stuck a handmade sign to the front of a store. It reads “Be kind”. This is great encouragement to cap off perhaps one of the most-tense weeks of our 100 years running stores, and to help all of us prepare for what is next. Be kind to each other. We will get through it. |
it's so screwed up and I don't know how to fix it. Anyway, the email said that once I made these change I was to call them and they could complete my account update. However, the guy I spoke with couldn't do anything until they unfreeze the account, he said it was still under investigation. I also explained to him about how my first new card was deleted and the points I earned over the weekend where also gone....I said I had screen shots and a detailed list of what I was owed along with the receipt.....he said that I would also have to wait to have that corrected. 
In Alberta yes all classes are cancelled until next September. First they had said the marks they had now were their final marks and would advance to the next grade and that the gr 12's would still be able to write their government finals. I believe that my sister in Saskatchewan said it was going to be the same there as well. My son said yesterday a couple of his teachers are starting to send stuff through their goggle classroom. Which makes me extremely happy. We are still going to be doing extra with him at home to make sure he is ready for Gr 12. We just want to make sure he is prepared enough to succeed next year
Wow us too, they only one they added was a milk, so 5 in total.No new offers this week. Only the 4 I had saved.Anyone else have the same thing?
I got a spend 30k Points, get $40 off. Which is nice, but I wasn't planning to go shopping any time soon. Oh well... the points will keep
