But when you see bugs on *fresh baked goods* it's an indication of a bigger problem. Indifferent staff, unclean premises and intermittent care and cleaning of fresh food spaces, processes, preservation and preparation of onsite food They do stock safe and hygienic foods that are sealed and are imported. I recommend buying only these shelf stable sealed imported goods. Or from their frozen section NOT made in-house.

First time at Fortinos and I was quite surprised that it's not just a supermarket. Wow, there is a…read moredining section known as Pane Fresco with a variety of freshly prepared food and a coffee/latte/tea desserts station. We have been here twice for lunch recently. I didn't like the pizza that I had on my first visit but on my second visit, I really liked their soup and sandwich. I've tried the clam chowder and Butternut squash soups and both were delicious. If you like soup and sandwich, they have a really good combo deal. A small soup and 1/2 sandwich for $8.99 and both are good portions. I've only tried their Prime Rib on Bianco and egg salad wrap. I really liked the Prime Rib sandwich as the meat was juicy with tasty toppings like crispy onions and gouda cheese...just perfect! I have a feeling this will be my favourite but I'll have to try a few more before I conclude this. I was very impressed that the dining area was so clean. There were staffs throughout lunch time that kept cleaning the table. I'm not sure if there is a dining area at the other Fortinos locations. I'll be sure to update my review once I get a chance to check these locations out. Great place for a quick lunch or a coffee break!

Staff was good as usual as they are mainly kids, which is great to see. I am am 3rd in line to pay and a couple brings their groceries to the hot food check out including alcohol to check out. Staff did the right thing to help them, but because of the alcohol the checkout had to be attempted 3 times. The 3 customers including myself waited about 10 minutes to check out with out hot food. Here is where you went wrong. A male manager the entire time was leaning against the condiment area watching, while gabbing away to a friend of his. Watching the disaster at the cash he never once attempted to help. Shame on him for poorly representing Fortino's and setting a very poor example to the staff. While this happens an Asian man cuts into the check out ahead or the 3 people ahead of him, including the elderly man who had difficulty walking. The staff told him that he was not next in line and that others were ahead of him. He said shut up. The manager again did nothing. I spoke up to the asian man to get back in line where he was and do the right thing and to not be so rude. He told me to F off. The manager again witnessed it all and did nothing. I stepped forward and the Asian man pushed me aside continuing with the arrogant attitude. Manager and his buddy continued talking and said nothing. After this I left the dinners on the counter and walked out. So much for fostering positive relations with customers or a safe customer environment .... We will re evaluate our spending relationship effective immediately with this location. Possibly retrain this manager to actually be an active part of the store.

The prices and/or specials might be consistently lower. Their produce specials are deeply discounted. Great for those big pots of soups, stews and chowders in the cold months when you need a lot of vegetables. I find their bakery section less cluttered than the aforementioned. And the bakery clerks very friendly. Who can't be friendly around all that sweetness. Each aisle has a special on one product or another. The jarred root vegetable salads are aplenty. Hard to find European products packaged with high standards such as Pâté are in full dupp Their meat and poultry prices are reasonable as well. And to my surprise they sell Wine and Beer. I got an excellent bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon for under $15 that's cheaper than the price for the same bottle in the USA. So that's easily worth 5 stars.

The bakery is pretty decent as well. You can find more exotic fruits and vegetables here but they can be very pricey.

They always seem to have an attitude for no reason. But the sushi and the hit bar keeps me coming back.

So, giving Sobeys the benefit of doubt as things happen...I get that. What I don't get is why when I went into the store a day later and asked for an explanation and a refund all that I got was ATTITUDE and no explanation from the Customer Service counter representative. Thanks Sobeys, I will never shop in your stores again as this is the 3rd time in 2 months that I have gone back for discrepancies' only to be treated as a deadbeat despite being polite and understanding. I had been shopping at Sobey's for years. Thanks for nothing and recognizing the loyalty that I extended you over the years.
