Judging from the way Loblaws has operated its other stores, they'll probably hire a bunch of non-Chinese workers to promote multiculturalism in the workplace. Take a look at the Metrotown Superstore, they got people from everywhere (yes, even FOBs). I've noticed over the years that T&T has also gotten more and more non-Chinese shoppers, and you want at least some of your workers to be able to hold a conversation with your shoppers well, right?

I love Superstore for their innovative products. Some PC stuff is better than national brand name shit.
I love their Passion Fruit pop, General Tao chips, ketchup, seville orange mamalade, etc. I'm talking President's Choice stuff, not their No-Name crap.
Everyday stuff like milk and eggs are always cheap there and they automatically match prices. Plus, I do my banking there and use my points.

The NN is limited to stuff like chips, pizza pockets, frozen entrees, pet food and some canned stuff as far I've seen (probably WAY more like paper towels). The Tao chips are good, but I like the thick-ass baked potato flavoured chips more. The dinnerware they have seems pretty decent too.

Love the resealable bag idea. I don't like the Greek flavoured one with the Feta cheese. I didn't know they were baked. Looks fried to me..........

Makes getting to the chips much more difficult.  | |

It's way better design that other resealable bags where you have to tear above the seal. Then once you do that, you have to try and separate the two sides and that, is not easy.

First time I bought the chips, I managed to break the bag since I didn't know where the hell the sealing part was to get it open.
