I'm not a huge fan of this grocery store because everything is pretty expensive compared to others (I actually think its probably one of the most expensive groceries in Victoria since there is no other grocery store close so it seems they take advantage of that) and when i've ordered food a few times and it wasn't great. So why am I giving this place 5 stars? Wendy, that's why. Wendy rocks. I come here with my wife and kids to the bar/restaurant area to watch sports or have wings and she provides the very best service and is very lovely. Give Wendy a raise, she's awesome.

I would give this store zero stars if I could.
I have shopped here 3 times since moving to Colwood Royal Bay.
First time, the deli refused to sell me 2 sloces of meat because it did not meet the minimum weight.
Second time, they refused to take my plastic bottles because I had not rinsed them ( even though they were sealed with a lid ).
Third time, today,the deli did not know how to ring up deli meat that was under their minimum requirement.i had 2 slices.
I spoke with a manager all 3 times and nothing was done.
My beef is this, you have to train your people on how to do their job. Refusing to sell deli meat to me because they didnt know how to ring it up is poor service.
The bottle washing rule seems to only be at the Royal Bay store. Look,my bottle had a lid on them. The 12 cans I returned…no lod,not washed out….they seem to pick and choose who and when they will provide service.
This store is on life support. It is never busy in there.probably the lousy service and pricing.
Finally, the prices at all QF locations are the highest in the city.
This is a “Hospital Store “. Use only in an emergency.

Whoever is in the bakery needs to be fired. I'm not sorry, they actively avoided helping customers. I had to drive to the other Quilty foods to get a birthday cake. In a world where jobs are lacking, companies need to cut people who 100% don't want to be there. The cashier also said that they know this is a problem.
