And when I didn't have as much optical insurance coverage as I thought I had ,the one gentleman applied his own staff discount so I could get them! Also, another of the staff who I dealt with initially slipped me a $50 gift certificate for Specsavers. Absolutely wonderful service and the follow up is spectacular. Absolutely thorough examination, including a machine I've never been tested on that predicts eye health, and apparently will detect glaucoma four years before anything else. Highly recommended, and I am the worst critic ever!

I asked if he had any specific biker shorts in stock & he laughed in my face & asked if i've ever "even been to a Lulu before". I have been shopping at Lulu for years and had nothing but positive experiences with staff at the Nanaimo pop up. But Jordan is BY FAR one of the rudest employees i've ever met anywhere, bar none.

I came in to use the ATM machine and needed to go to the washroom. An older woman with the round…read moreface and chin-length, straight, grey hair sitting on a bench with her tall, white haired male friend, stopped me to ask if I was using the washroom. When I said "Yes", she demanded to know if I was shopping at the mall. When I told her I was going to the bank I was told "we have to use due diligence" to make sure that people who aren't shopping here don't use the washroom. Perhaps she mistook me for a homeless person. I had just spent three hours weeding a client's garden when I came in to make a bank deposit, so I had dirty knees, and I was wearing a toque, a pair of rubber boots, and a ratty old sweater. When I asked you who she was, she said she was the mall manager. "Is or is not the bank part of the mall?" I asked. "It isn't really part of us," you replied. You suggested I go to the grocery store and use their washroom instead, although I wasn't there to shop at that place either. When I got home I checked out the mall's official website. Apparently, the bank IS part of the mall, along with the grocery store, the dollar store, and the drug store. Over the years, I've probably spent thousands of dollars at these businesses, all of which pay for the upkeep of the mall. If this woman really is the mall manager, she should be fired. If she is just someone who hangs around to harass other people, mall security isn't doing a very good job. After this experience I'm not so inclined to shop in the rest of the mall.

Today I was sitting on the bench waiting for my prescription to be filled, and the janitor came along and asked me if the sandals by the bench were mine. They were really big sandals and I was surprised that I didn't even notice them when I sat there, I guess I was thinking about checking my email while i waited for my prescription to be filled. I would have gone to a restaurant but there isn't one in the mall. So I am sitting, with my own shoes on of course, and he said I am going to have to throw them out, and I said, trying to be pleasant, who ever owns them has much bigger feet than I have. Then he went away and came back and he picked something up under the bench. Obviously I picked the wrong place to sit, because I couldn't just sit there and relax. So I never got the chance to look at my email. I went to get my prescription which was filled very fast, they are very nice, and always are, and of course I forgot my drinking bottle. I got half way out of town, I realized I didn't have it, and had to come back to the mall, and I asked the person cleaning in the grocery store if she had seen it, of course I couldn't find the janitor. And of course she hadn't, and I said I left it by the bench when I was trying to get my email, and the janitor kept interrupting me, and I left it there. So I went to customer service at the grocery store, and there it was, without my drink. They had thrown my sports drink out. So that was my experience. The mall has a beautiful view. But I would think the rents are really expensive. And I am sure they are having a problem, because without more stores, it is not competitive with a store like target or even Walmart.

Its like a place for last minute to pick up things before going on the Ferry. Or a good place to kill time, if you want to see it that way. Parking lot is huge. Seems to be the same size as the mall. But not a lot of people shopping here that is for sure. Sunday is when the mall is close. But of course Supervalu, london drugs and some stores with entrance facing street or parking lot are open 7 days a week.

Cashiers just shoving your items right up against the previous customers, even if NOBODY is in line behind... making the space so tight, for NO reason. Also ZERO eye contact from some of them, they just push the debit machine toward you while looking elsewhere, as I hold out my CASH. So RUDE. Then they huff and puff when THEY have to change the cash out. Seriously. You are a CASHier. Costco is just another Woke Joke. The DEI hiring is obvious and the fact that this company even pretends to care about the environment - is laughable. Certain demographics are more rude than others, (we all know who I mean.) I find most working here are entitled, arrogant and posses ZERO personable attitude. 'Wasn't this way here 10 years ago. I also find it pretty funny that MASSIVE e-bikes (which are "motorized" with heavy, toxic batteries) are allowed to park at bike racks, taking up space from REAL bicycles, that are easier to steal - but a 50cc scooter that is smaller, is considered a 'motorcycle' and not allowed - although they offer NO motorcycle parking. BTW: A 20 year old gas scooter is actually MORE 'environmental" than a new Made in China ebike, made with child slave labour and horrible mining practices - but hey gotta push the EV BS. (EYE ROLL)
