    I came in with my friends, and it was a horrible experience all the workers we spoke to had a rude attitude, other than the deli and bakery workers who were very sweet Management get your workers in check. I will definitely not be coming back because what workspace allows their workers to be rude.

    Not the best save on foods, they have an okay selection but are missing a lot of the more niche ingredients that you can usually find at other save on foods now. Never enough staff on the checkout.

    quite literally one of the worst save-ons. since it's in the east side of Vancouver, they don't offer as many items or hot foods that other locations have. i've been shopping here for at least 15 years. in the last few years, many of the times the produce is of lower quality or items are expired. also, prices here are usually more expensive than other stores. you must do your due diligence when shopping here. my recommendation is to not shop here at all. visit one of the local grocery stores nearby or travel a bit further to main st, fraser st, or victoria dr. the last few times i've had their security guard and loss prevention officer VERY obviously and not subtly whatsoever follow me around the store. i have never, ever stolen from here or any store for that matter. i do not have a large bag. if it is because of my jacket that is incredibly unreasonable -- it is winter. it is cold. not everyone drives! it is so frustrating trying to grocery shop when you have two shadows following you around. i ended up returning my purchase. even when i did that, the loss prevention officer followed me over to the checkout. i am seriously at a loss for words. which ever company save-ons contracts to do their security needs to do a better job. why is your loss prevention officer not even trying to act like a shopper? why do they not even have anything in their basket? why are they clearly talking in depth with the security guard while staring at who ever they suspect? they are doing a horrible job at being subtle and require more training, lol.
