Gift cards
Before Christmas I purchased 3 Esso $50.00 gift cards. My daughters went to use them and they where told there was nothing on them. I contacted Shopper at 15 Westney Road in Ajax. Explained my situation to the manager. She told me to call1-800-746-7737 customer service. I called. Explained everything, she transferred me to third party. I Explained everything, she transferred me to on line gift cards. Explained everything and was told he didn't handle in store gift cards. I was transferred to Jose who wanted a 16 digit number off the card. There is no such number on the cards. This is very upsetting. I don't know if you'll look after this as you don't ask for my personal information. However - here it is. Doug Carpenter [protected]. Email: [protected]@rogers.com.
Desired outcome: I want the $50.00 put on the gift cards
Service
Hello I used to work at shoppers in corner brook nl, I loved working there until I found out that my manager was talking about me with other employees there and when I first found out I went to the owner and she said that she was going to do something or talk to them about it but it never got talked about after and I never heard anything after that. So one of the workers that work there is one of my friends and they told me that it is still going on and that most of the workers there don't want me there, I also feel like every day I need off for college with exams and other things, they would not give it too me off so now looking back at it I feel as that was their way of getting rid of me because that they had no reason to fire me. The reason I waited so long to complain when I should of just went to the labor board is because now with school I need a reference from my old job and I am scared to even ask because I know they will no be honest with it and this is for western health as to me bettering myself and this is my dream job that I have worked so hard for and I don't want their reference to ruin my chance with getting in. I didn't want to leave shoppers but I felt like I had too, after hearing the things I did that other workers hated me and were talking about me it made my stomach hurt every time I would go to work and I even started calling in sick way to often because of it so I just decided to quit.
Marbotic smart kit letters & numbers
I purchased a Marbotic Smart Kit Letters & Numbers interactive game for my toddler yesterday. The toy is in box and the box has a thin cardboard cover glued on it. To get to the box i used a pair of scissors to cut the cardboard on one side.
Once opened, i found the apps to download to play the game on a tablet but these apps are unable to connect to my Wi-Fi and ask for an internet connection. I do not have a data plan on the table, only Wi-Fi access.
Realising that this would not work for me, i went to Phamarpaix today to return it and they say they cannot take a return when the box is opened.
i was so shocked... this toy was 79.99$ and is literally untouched since all i did was download the app.
I looked at the return policy and nowhere does it mention this. The store owner was uninterested in helping. Completing dismissed me and told me there was nothing he could do. The box never mentioned a data connection was required and He said i should have researched about the game online before buying it.
I am so confused.. how do people return items without opening the box and trying them out (which i didn't even get to do at all!)
79.99$ down the drain because nowhere o
Desired outcome: I would like to return this thing and get my money back
Staff
Wow.
Stopped in shoppers Syd river yesterday to pick up a RX and some snacks.
Coming from puttering around at sister's barn. . I was dressed in old clothes. The hair raised up on the back of my neck. Lol so I turned around there was an employee watching me real close. And might I add she was NOT 6ft away as per protocol. Lol
I wonder how much was actually taken by someone who was ‘Actually' shoplifting?
Advice for wanna be security:
Don't let the attire throw you, and the stigma attached to people who don't wear brand name expensive clothing.
1. Get some training.
2. Your store is not that fancy.
3. People shopping in work clothes have money and good intentions despite what you think.
4. While you're following the WRONG one you're employer is losing money at the other end of the store, or maybe in the next aisle.
5. There is NOTHING I would want THAT Bad.
The experience was unnerving and I was insulted.
I will be moving my prescriptions to another Pharmacy. I won't shop in a store where I am not comfortable.
Desired outcome: You tell me?!
Oral b electric toothbrush/ customer service didn’t exchange it
I got an electric toothbrush as a Christmas gift. I attach picture with invoice number and more information.
As it hasn't been working properly I took it to the Shopper's store located at 125 The Queensway today Sunday January 16th 2022, 5 pm for an exchange.
The supervisor, male mid 30's blonde long hair told me to make a claim to manufacturer because they wouldn't exchange or return the item.
I really think he should have exchange it but he didn't even care in looking at the invoice or anything, pretty poor customer service.
Desired outcome: Get the exchange at the 125 The Queensway store
Butter
I went out in the freezing cold this morning to get butter at john st store. No butter. They went to the back. No butter. Ask for a rain check. They said they couldn't give me one. I was there before 9am and it was advertised in your flyer. This is bad... That's not the first time they have been out of flyer items. Knowing it is on sale this morning, they...

I am new in town but over the past couple months I have experienced a decline in customer service at the Essex, ontario location. While I understand during covid there may be staffing issues employees need to priortize customers over texting and social media on their cellphones. This has become the norm at this location and I was shocked to learn that one...

Owner of Alexandria, Ontario location
A new member of our community needed to get a covid test but because he was symptomatic, they wouldn't let him come into the store or allow him to pick it up. He had registered online, got a call, returned it, and was told to call the Alexandria location. He did, spoke to someone, then confirmed that he had someone to pick up the test for him. That person...
Read full complaintPandemic profiteering
I felt so bad today telling my Shoppers pharmacist I was switching my prescriptions to Rexall. I cannot, however, do business with this company. Profiteering during a pandemic is repugnant. Charging $40 for rapid antigen tests that should be free or affordable to the public. Nauseating. Doing symptomatic testing in store and putting staff and customers at risk. Repellent. Ill never step foot in one of your stores again. And this is easy choice to make. Your competitors, like Rexall, are always in the vicinity. Remember that.
Yours sincerely
A former customer.
Desired outcome: Get a moral compass
Cashier
This afternoon at Shoppers at Scott and Niagara, I was purchasing a few items, including a higher end cream from the beauty area. Knowing these generally have security tags, I went to the cashier who told me I had to use self checkout. She wasn't open. So I did. Once I was finished, I left and the alarm went off. She quickly said ‘I need your bags and receipt. You didn't scan everything'. I was shocked. I pulled out the Elizabeth Arden cream and said that it was likely that product. She grabbed it and demanded my receipt, which I had to wait for because I chose to have it emailed to me. Once it came up she took my phone and went through everything on it. People were staring. It was humiliating. She was so condescending towards me, despite being co-operative. When she realized that I had infact paid for everything in my bag, she tossed it towards me and said ‘I guess you did scan it' I ran out in tears. I have never been so humiliated. Nor have I ever been accused of anything.
I can't ever show my face in that store again. Nor would I want to.
Pharmacy
Our prescription is for 2 bottles of a medication once a month for 3 refills. For some reason they entered it into their system as 6 refills and will only give us one a month. One bottle does not last a month. Each time we go we explain this and they refuse to help Each time they talk to our doctor and the doctor explains we should get 2 bottles each...

Have called the store about 6 times after they told me to come back the next day when I went in with my month old baby to get his prescription after my doctor sent it in hours before arrival and now I've called 4 days on a row since I hauled him last time in the cold and the whole store doesn't pick up I'm very mad this has happened before when I was pregnant wasn't as big of a deal but the complaints and bad reviews on this shoppers is very high on the exact same reasons so I think there should be a change I'd like to speak to someone higher up
Desired outcome: Change in the customer care service in all departments pick up the phones have prescriptions ready that day!!! Some of us have babies who need there medicine
Public washroom access, including children when necessary.
I used to shop at a lot of Shoppers Drug Mart, However due to the rudeness of some of the Managers for the use of washroom with childrens emergency I have stopped giving my money to them. My child being 10 years old needed to use the washroom very badly (dire need due to bladder infection). we went in to get medication and asked the night manager if she...
Read full complaintFlu vaccine
the Shopper's Drug Mart advertisements about the yearly flu vaccine are issuing blatantly false information.
The advertisement says "... the flu shot is your best defense against the flu."
You don't need to be a doctor to know a humans "best" defense against the flu is THE HUMAN IMMUNE SYSTEM.
Shopper's Drug Mart needs to STOP LYING to their customers (the Canadian people).
Desired outcome: stop saying the flu vaccine is "your best defense" against the flu. The flu shot may be a defense, but it is MOST DEFINITELY NOT our "best" defense.
Unethical behaviour
November 16, 2021 To whom it may concern, Hope all is well and safe with you and your family. I am writing this letter to inform you about the improper treatment I have experienced in one of your stores. This is at Shoppers Drugmart located at 2202 Broad St, Regina, SK S4P.

I was shopping in store going down almost every aisle just killing time and also taking my time to compare products, prices, etc, and all of a sudden a blonde woman employee I had not seen the entire time shopping begins to "slowly creep" behind me in the store, constantly looking into the basket I was carrying.

Read full complaintPoints redemption
I redeemed 200000 points at check out but error occur, the order was not completed but points were missing. I filed this issue for 2 weeks and no one follow up. They promised me to solve this in 5 business days, and no answer. I don't think this is software issue, they just don't want me to use the bonus points. Garbage business, cheating! I need my money back!
Desired outcome: Needs my money back
I had bought LIFE products which I am currently dissatisfied with all of them. The first were latex free bandages that didn’t stick, I had to use to scotch tape until I got Bandaids that stuck.
Then I purchased Life brand medicated Corn removers and I tried to use 1 today and that didn’t stick, getting ticked off.
I purchased LIFE brand High performance fine mint flavored Dental Flossers. I tried using 3 of them and they frayed and 1 of them ripped and in between my teeth and I had to get tweezers to get it out.
I had bought the small aspirin and I cannot say whether they are working or not so I will switch them to Aspirin
Now I am really frustrated with LIFE products.
I don’t know if Galen Weston would want about these products so I would advise him because that is what his commercial supports.
