My visit to my local Shoppers this morning absolutely made my day!!…read moreThe pharmacist was very quick to assist me with my questions and needs. Then I had to buy crutches (the previous place I went to sold me the wrong ones without having me try them...I should have known perhaps, but it was my first time!) A nice Shoppers staff member was very patient with me, helped me put them together, adjust them to comfort and took his time. I go to this Shoppers almost every day as I work a couple of blocks away, and it is because of the consistent level of exceptional customer service. Thank you!

Shoppers was the equivalent to my neighborhood drug store (there are two main players in Texas…read morewhere I'm from) where you can find pretty much anything.

However, this isn't one of those stores where you leave with a huge haul every single time (like Value Village or Talize). They have a smaller selection and prices are a bit higher, so I tend to be picker when selecting items to buy here. The store is fairly well laid out, and I appreciate that the clothing is color coded (Talize does this as well, but Value Village does not). I also like that the price of the item decreases the longer it's on the sales floor, which is unique. I often think of consigning here, but to be honest after reading the rules on the website, it seems like it would be a bit of a hassle. For example, it says that they don't accept items over 2 years old. How on earth can they tell (besides the item being in poor condition)? One time when I inquired about consigning, they told me about all the "cheaper" brands that they don't accept...yet every time I go in, I see those brands! It's also strange that on the website it says that Danier is one of their best selling brands, yet they say they don't accept leather coats (yes I understand Danier doesn't JUST have leather jackets, but you get where I'm coming from). Also, this might just be me, but I wish the change rooms had actual doors and not just curtains. I don't know how many times a lady has just waltzed right into my change room while I'm changing! No etiquette it seems. All in all, a few minor inconveniences, but it's a store I will continue to visit once every couple of months to see what's new.

When entering and leaving, be sure to wait for the proper gates to open and close, and there is only one way to go in and out. As another reviewer said, make sure you know your license plate number too. Staff was able to tell me that if I buy enough alcohol that paperwork would be filled and I would be charged extra at the border is all, but no real limits seem to be present otherwise. I am sure if you buy a huge quantity you may need to be able to briefly explain yourself such as if you have a detailed list ready of who you want to give to and why. Staff is very helpful about which liquors have stronger flavor and which have stronger liquor. This is a basic concept that I feel has gone over many others' heads because they just want to sell me something based on some potentially correct science that may be entirely useless for my taste buds. The variety is here if you want that last minute mainstream grab or you get something here that may be harder for you to get elsewhere. There are several varieties of maple liquor. If you love sweeter tasting and a pretty looking leaf bottle and are from the US, get what I got. Sounds like I need to look for a teddy bear and use the bathroom next time by the other reviews!!

I made the appointment but when I arrived for it I was informed that the email was sent by mistake a week early and I was not eligible for OHIP coverage (I'm over 65). There was absolutely no effort made to compensate me for my trouble, rather i was told that I could re-schedule a week later. I sent a complaint to the parent company Luxotica, but was given a run-around and directed to a non-functioning complaint form. This used to be a good place to go, but in my opinion the customer service has gone downhill. I will be looking for a local optometrist that is not part of a huge multinational enterprise.

In fact this is where I picked up the first fishing pole and lures that I bought myself. Thank you, Gananoque Reporter paper route.

Yes, you can have emergency sporting goods. Ever realize that the river froze in front of your parents place and you need hockey sticks and pucks? STAT??? Well, Canadian Tire saved me. The staff are always friendly and helpful and will give you any advice you need on projects or equipment you need to buy. Myself, I can't go in there and not pick up something. Oh, and the gas bar out front (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/canadian-tire-gas-bar-gananoque) typically has competitive gas prices and gives you Canadian Tire money with your purchase so that you can go back and get an emergency bag of pucks.
