"My" best shops in Canada

Today I read an article about the "best Canadian shops". I was surprised shoppers was in top10. But it's other people's opinions and I respect them. I like shoppers' customer services online and onphone, but I dislike the service they provide in the stores. Anyway, it's just a thought.

My best shops in Canada, means that shops can be found in Canada. Not necessarily with Canadian businessmen owner or sell Canadian made products.

I list the store names randomly, not according to how much I love them. I love them all, and just want to share with you guys how great they are.

Loblaws
It sells grocery, clothes, cosmetics, and kitchenwares. I like that fact that I can basically find anything I want in the shop. The place inside is always clean, bright, and well-organized in any loblaw stores. The original prices can be higher than others, but we can find the best bargain there when things on sale. People there are very nice and provide the best customer services they can.  It has wider selection of groceries than other stores. We can either scan n go or wait in line for cashiers to help. Also it opens very late until 11:00 p.m. while other stores tend to close at 10:00.

One thing that I would like to complain about is that sometimes some store play too loud music that I cannot stand at all. But it does not happen all the time and not in all locations. 

T&T Supermarket
Asian supermarket that sells most of things Asian. It has the widest selections of Asian food among Chinese supermarkets. It's also very clean, bright and well organized. Some of the stores open until 12:00.

The customer service is great there as well. What I like the most is that cashiers hand in the receipts to you with both hands with smile, that is a real Asian way of showing how much they respect customers like you.

Sometimes the music can be too loud. But again it does not happen all the time.


The Bay
TheBay seems to have almost all kinds of brands from very high end to lower ones. It may not have everything in all locations, but it has online shop there. We can always shop online 24/7, though sometimes the web seems to be out of control....

The sales people are always very nice and provide the best customer service. If you go to a cosmetic counter where the lady who belongs to there are not there, sales lady from other counters will come immediately to help.

As HBC card holders, we can always get extra discounts with its credit cars, which is really good. We can collect points and redeem for anything we like.

Walmart Canada
Walmart may not be a Canadian shop, but it's great! It offers everything the best prices with nice quality. The super centre close to where I live is very clean and well-organized. Some discount stores may not look as clean as other stores to have an impression that they do not spend extra money on cleaning but on offering great prices to customers. People there are very nice and helpful as well.
