York Lanes is a small shopping mall at York University. If you are living on campus and don't feel…read morelike heading off-campus, it's a decent walk over. It has been there for eons. It has changed quite a bit since I was an undergraduate student, but feels the same. Although shops have come and gone, the York University Bookstore remains a staple. It was unfortunately closed when I was there for CRAM learning sessions at night. I like that there is a decent Shoppers Drug Mart now. I often had to visit one off-campus to get munchies, cold medication, and frankly hang out because everything was closed after my night classes had ended. At 10:30 pm, Second Cup and a few eateries were still alive and kicking. After admiring all the York University-branded sweatshirts, t-shirts, water bottles, and more, I need to come back and get something. I don't have much gear as an alumna! There is a decent parking lot on Vanier Lane where you can park your car. It's $8 if you park after 6 pm on weeknights and is good until 6 am the following day. It's cheaper on weekend with flat rates. You pay at one of the most sophisticated parking machines I have ever used. It accepts coins, credit and debit cards, bank cards, and YU-Card if you are a student. Yes! I used my bank card and the transaction was seamless. There is a walkway between this parking lot and York Lanes. The parking lot ismonitored, which is positive and reassuring. I had no problems here, as I spent nearly four hours on campus. I will return to get my York U. gear. It felt the same being here, even with the change in stores and look. (123)

As to why it is called University City Mall, I have no idea. I thought it would have been called Four Winds Mall since it is next to Four Winds Dr. There is a medium-sized grocery store called Your Community Grocers. The rest are small stalls, and some look like a stall broken up into 3 stalls! The interior looks gloomy and a little dark. There are a few restaurants in there. There is even a barber/beauty salon and a medical clinic. There is no food court with tables. This is needed since many of the restaurants are takeout only. There is no free WiFi. The mall is wheelchair accessible. There is adequate free parking in the parking lot. Review 2023-265

A second employee arrived immediately and next in line was cashed out. I went for balloons and the employee knew exactly what to do and I was in the store 10 minutes or less with beautiful Happy Birthday balloons to take for an 85-year-old woman. The service was polite, calm, efficient, and a very good experience. I never bought helium balloons before and my experience was excellent. I was in a hurry and I want to say it made my day to have pretty balloons from a large collection in such a short time. Your experienced cashiers made it all possible for me. Thank you. Conni K.

On Saturday, January 3rd, 2026, from 9:45PM to 10:45PM…read more Firstly, I was shopping at the store and got pretty much all my items, except for one, which was the (Purina ONE True Instinct Grain Free Chicken, Dry Cat Food, 1.45-6.53 kg*). I asked the Beauty Associate if they had it in stock. She didn't know, since she works in the Beauty department. I understand; she told me to go to customer service to ask, and they would check if they had it in stock. I went to Customer Service and asked the lady if they had the item I mentioned (*) in stock. She told me they didn't have it in stock and it showed (Free Pickup over $35). I mentioned that it said they had the item available at the store, so why would I pay $35 to pick up my items when I could come to the store myself and pick them up for less? Also, your store slogan is "Save Money, Live Better". I ended up buying my cat a different dry food that she loves and can't stop eating, which makes me happy. The dry food I originally wanted cost more, so I saved money, and it was a win-win situation. Secondly, I was interested in purchasing Apple Earphones (wired version) and asked the lady who looked like she was working in the electronics department if she could check. She told me they didn't have any. I completely understand, since it isn't something everyone would buy. I have the Apple AirPods that died on me and need to replace them, so I decided to go old school and purchase the wired earphones (lightning connector) version to connect with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I got the impression that she was too busy to help me out, so I didn't bother to ask her about anything else, since she looked kind of miserable, which didn't leave a good impression on me, so I left and checked out what I thought were vinyls, but it was the 2026 Calendars, which I wasn't planning to buy, but I decided to come back next time to buy it. I later purchased something in the beauty department and rated her customer service skills 5 stars. The only problem I have is that if she is pricing, it should be aligned with the product on the shelves. I took pictures to show my mom, and my mom noticed a price discrepancy. So instead of piecing your area, you should double-check your pricing, since the Scanning Code of Practice would have been something I would have brought up with her and her manager, but I ignored it, since I wanted to get out of the store quickly. Lastly, I was browsing around the dairy aisles and overheard the associates, maybe it was a lead with a pump truck, talking on the phone, which I thought was unprofessional, since I didn't know if you allow that on the sales floor. What made me feel bothered by the whole situation is that he didn't look like he was talking to someone from home, but it sounded like he was talking to a manager, because he mentioned that he had so much work to do and was complaining about it. I was saying to myself, why didn't you have the support? It sounds like he wanted to work, but not work so much, "Welcome to Retail"! Conclusion: I got what I needed, but I didn't get what I wanted. I found a substitute, and everything worked out in the end. My experience at the store was okay. The beauty associate was nice. She was the only one I would give a good rating. The rest of the associates (customer service, electronics, sales floor, merchandisers, etc.) I would give a bad rating based on the lack of customer service and organization. The layout of the store was okay, but the products were not presentable. I also found out that an associate is not grateful for the job he has, which was disheartening, since others would kill to work at Walmart, but the managers decided to hire the weak and lazy. Update: On Tuesday, January 13, 2026, from 11:30AM to 12:10PM. They had the specific item I was looking for on the shelf, but I was only browsing for something else. They didn't have the sought-after 2026 calendar, and the associate appeared too lazy to assist me in locating it. I also observed the same associate negligently ignoring another customer's request for help.

Lier I encountered at Walmart Canada…read more I tried multiple times & ways when I was encountering Walmart account log in problems & had no choice but to call Walmart Canada on Oct 27/25. I was able to talk to a live person ONLY AFTER MUCH HASSLES & DIFFUCULTIES with their autobot phone system. It took a lengthy period of time before the Walmart emplyee could understand such simple & straight-forward issue as acoount log in issues & that I am not a high tech person & very much incapable/uncomfortable in terms of scanning whatever, what have you screen shot AND IT IS ONLY A SIMPLE ISSUE AS I WAS DESCRIBING TO HIM-----NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED LOGGING IN EXCEPT THE PASSWORD ERROR MESSAGE (AND I USED THE CORRECT PASSWORD IN FACT!) & NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED THE ''FORGET PASSWORD'' FEATURE! AND I DID TRY USING DIFFERENT BROWSERS, ETC! Eventually, I was told nothing that he could do & a ''technician'' would call me within 2-3 business. A person named something like ''UMUSH'' called me late afternoon of Oct 27. AND I HAVE TO REPEAT THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE & EXPLAINING & REPEATING WHAT I HAVE TRIED & WHAT I COULD OR COULD NOT DO. This supposedly a Walmart technician was again unable to offer any help other than wasting more of my valuable time. He promised me multiple times that he would contact their tech office & call me back around the same time on Oct 28. Well, I was receiving no more call whatsoever from this ''Umush'' person or anyone else from Walmart Canada after this. Such a lier from Walmart Canada. Shame on him! Much more shame on Walmart Canada for its total failure to resolve such a simple account issue to begin with...

However, the experience is frequently hindered by long checkout lines and understaffed registers during peak hours.

While the prices remain predictably budget-friendly, the messy aisles and minimal customer service mean it is best suited for quick, independent runs rather than an enjoyable shopping trip

My wife gained weight ans the dress did not fit. We were in a panic. My wife was so devastated. Would you believe they ordered a brand new dress at their expense ans had it couriered for us. They did not have to do that. They saved the day. When I hear comments that they are rude and so on, it is total hog wash. They are kind and very helpful. Super knowledgeable and on point with latest fashions. In particular I love Mahnas( the manager). She is so helpful and knowledgeable. There are always two sides to a story.
