Incompetent, slow cashiers.
Hostile customer service people.
And the worst sin: warm beer in the liquor store.

I am wondering when you last shopped at Superstore.
I felt the same way about them at one time but as they renovated their stores over the last 3 years, that simply is not the case anymore. Their produce has improved dramatically in that period of time. I mainly shop at their Shawnessy store and find it to be very nice. I don't however shop exclusively at any grocery store.
I just did a small shop at Superstore yesterday and the milk I purchased has an expiry date of July 15. I never saw any milk products one day away from their expiry date.
Yes, sometimes their shelves are not as well stocked but I find that to be mainly at holiday times.
I have never encountered a hostile customer service rep nor have I found their cashiers to be slow. I have found that if there is congestion, it is because some customers are simply not very fast at packing their own groceries.
I don't purchase a lot of meat there, mainly some shell fish and cod, perhaps a pork butt for pulled pork, but then I don't purchase much meat period. When I want a nice roast or steak, I usually buy the triple A product at Co-op or Safeway.
And no store, and I mean no store, is more congested than Costco. And I don't buy much meat at Costco either, usually only their extra meaty pork ribs. I have always wondered if their beef is really triple A as I don't find their beef to be very good at all and don't purchase beef from Costco anymore.
