I am extremely disappointed with the customer service I received at this No Frills location today…read more This incident happened today at around 7:45 PM. I was shopping for an Uber customer's order and had been in the store for almost two hours trying to find items. When I could not locate a product, I politely asked a staff member who was stocking shelves for help. Later, I found out from another coworker that this person was actually the manager of the store. The first time I asked for help, he responded in an annoyed manner, saying "it should be over there." I thanked him, but he did not respond. When I needed help finding another item, his attitude became even more unpleasant. He told me that he was not required to help me and that I was asking too many questions. His way of speaking made me feel disrespected and uncomfortable. After this interaction, I spoke with another coworker to ask if this was normal behavior, and that coworker informed me that the person was the manager. Whether someone is an Uber shopper, a delivery driver, or a regular customer, everyone deserves to be treated with respect. Asking employees for help finding products is a normal part of shopping, and this kind of response is not acceptable customer service. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and reviews what happened today around 7:45 PM.

Product review ... 'shout out' - for one of my favourite ways to purchase pork for roasts and…read morechops. I call it a pork "log", the supplier calls it 'boneless pork loin rib half', and the store labels it as 'pork loin, half centre, and sirloin'. Buying pork this way affords an opportunity for the customer to cut and prepare as desired. After each purchase, I usually cut a roast and chops, and freeze in portion sizes appropriate for future meals. The yield, as I cut and prepared this larger one for freezing was: one good-sized sirloin roast, 12 loin and centre chops, and some extra sirloin. The roast was frozen in a bag by itself, and was large enough for dinner meals, and several lunch sandwiches, and brunch snacks. The chops were frozen by variety, two in each bag, perfect for dinner meals. The extra sirloin was put in its own bag and used in a tagine stew. When sold fresh, these "logs" are usually on sale at reduced prices from other times, when being sold at regular prices, and being sold frozen. For me, the only way I want them is fresh, so I can cut and freeze. Buying them frozen and not being able to refreeze after thawing and cutting is not an option. I purchase them fresh, and have caught some great prices. They are fantastic value buys at those times. Regardless of size, the "logs" provide such a wonderful variety of flavourful pork cuts for many meals. And for me, are so well-deserving of the product 'shout out'.

Daughter and I stopped into this 'Kin's Farm Market' during our shopping within Como Lakr Village…read morethis morning. This particular market has never really been listed very high on my shopping 'to do' list, but with some time between other shopping venues today, a walk-by and look-see at what was being offered, captured our attention to stop in for a closer look. Broccoli was being featured at a great price. And having some dinner plans in mind for the rest of this week, it was 'yea', when I found some very decent looking and priced green onions and Roma tomatoes. Thanks to this stop at 'Kin's', I was able to catch and fulfill remaining items on my shopping list for today's shopping adventure.

Looking for Organic produce? Of all the Kin's in the Tri-Cities this is the one with consistently…read morethe largest selection of organic produce. They almost always have the following organic items, celery, cabbage, beets with and without the greens (greens are a great leafy veg like chard), garlic and ginger. They always have organic kale, carrots, bananas and several other items. I've even found organic watermelon over this past summer. Once I found organic apples but haven't seen any this year. The staff is helpful and if you ask repeatedly for an item they'll often get it in. Prices are very competitive. If you are on a tight budget look in the bargain shelf at the back. I got a bag of tomatoes that were very ripe at a real discount. They are close to deserving 5 stars. Perhaps organic citrus and/or tomatoes would do it for me.

Anyways I came here today because I wanted to buy some supplements as I'm a bit of a health nut so I was in the vitamin/supplement section plus I wanted to use my gift card for something as this woman who I guess was working in the vitamin/supplement section approached me saying "Can I help you with anything or are you just looking?" I just felt awkward because her tone of voice was not friendly and when I replied "No, thank you, I'm okay, with a smile" she didn't smile back, just had a grumpy, bitter look on her face. I kind of felt more like she was suspicious I was going to steal something and I was being racially profiled rather than someone genuinely wanting to assist me. The young cashier up at the front was very pleasant and friendly when I went to pay for my item at least.

I was curious, and left with two shopping bags, and the store's reward card with me, just in case I was lucky to find some food 'captures' this time. Yay, both the bags and card were needed this time -- I latched onto two, fresh, good-looking, fryer chickens, and a couple of tubs of their quality margarine. While there, I did check prices on a few other items I routinely purchase elsewhere, and found them to be priced considerably higher. But heh, I was happy, and what I had found sure helped to make my visit a positive and worthwhile one, and contributed nicely to my morning walk.

I went to buy a 4 litre milk and the price was was $2 more than any other store. The price is so ridiculously high it annoyed me so much I left the store without buying anything. The price for most items are close to double what other stores charge. I get they are a smaller store and can't compete with the big chain stores but come on double the price is gouging! What about the seniors or others on a fixed income who live in the neighborhood and can't get to the bigger grocery stores how are they expected to buy the basics. Shame on IGA for taking advantage of shoppers in these hard economical times!

The many shelves, and various other displays of packaged, canned, and bottled goods inside, were truly-worthy of much more time than we had to give them. We will definitely plan, and allow sufficient time for some shopping for our next visit.

You know when you are watching Netflix you come across a martial arts movie with an all Asian…read moreactors that speaks fluent English and who don't know martial arts. Well, instead of getting kung-fu, you get weird-fu. Man, there are so many cultural misappropriations, it is not even funny. This is how dominant culture sees Asians- "you all look alike" "you are all the same". For starters, signages. They got these 70's English Fonts mimicking Asian characters. And weird goofy sayings like "Wok with confidence" or "stretch your imagination ". It is so non-asian. I can see the designer did a quick a google of what asian culture is all about and just stuck it in. It demonstrates how little respect they have for the differences and nuances of every very different asian cultures there are. Any proud Asian will find the design of the place highly offensive and culturally insensitive. We walked around looking at various food, produce and prepped food area. Didn't find anything remotely competitively priced. The future is here and so are the prices. Expensive. We were asking ourselves who is the target market? Asians? You have two successful Korean grocery stores across the street : HNS and Hi-Mart. Then there is the Chinese Supermarket TNT in Coquitlam Centre and Lougheed who has none of these issues. Their key market will likely be the indifferent and price-proof non-asians. We capped our journey with their cooked offerings. We got the 2 meat combo with rice. We went with BBQ duck and pork. Let's just say the duck was so dry and salty, I don't think I had worse duck in all of GVRD. I rather drive all the way to Richmond's HK BBQ Master as they have exact same price. One is world renown, other is hot garbage. Then I had to have the silly idea of ordering a drink at their "Harmony Cafe". My god. Although there were three people ahead of me, it took forever. I chalked it up to newbies. Literally four pair of hands went into making the London Fog I ordered. The last guy was reading the manual while making it. After he was finished he went to wash dishes and left the drink on the table. Had to hail another staff to fulfill my order which included Portuguese Egg tarts. This took over twenty minutes. It was way too long. Overall, I understand this is a new business and a grand opening but shouldn't they have operations smoothed out prior to opening their doors? One star for the Portuguese Tart and another for the polite, albeit confused, staff. I will check back in a few months after their newness is ironed out, if I ever come back.
