The cashier that was at the front desk today at 1.30 pm was terrible, a young red headed girl. Didn't want to look up the product so I could pay and pick up my 40 pound bags of wood pellets outside. Instead she said I had to bring one bag in to make the payments. Ridiculous!!!
The amazing lady with a short bob hair cut at the customer service desk did her job, let me pay and then I was able to pick up my bags out side, the gentleman out side was extremely helpful and had the most friendly service. One star less only because the useless little cashier at the front made it a horrible experience. Give her job to someone that wants to work please. Thank you!

🙄Possibly the worse Rona store in this region when it comes to their stock levels and when compared to Hamilton, Brantford, Ancaster stores😵💫...so many items listed on RONA website are not available in this store..Also, it seems like many items are priced higher for some reason even when compared to other Rona stores?!??....definitely when checked against Home Depot prices of the same or comparable products🤑

I use to really like the quality of wood from Rona. Actually drove out of my way to purchase from here. Purchasing 20 pcs 4 X 4 fence Posts was a big disappointment. Pile was wet to start with, but they said "that is how it comes". As the posts dried in the ground they twisted creating many problems, as one can image. Ben said : "that is normal for the fence posts to twist and split". While if they knew that from past sales, why didn't they make adjustments in buying, so the customer wouldn't feel cheated. When asked what they could do for all my time fixing the twisted posts. THEY JUST LAUGHED. Do they expect repeat business when they sell a product that "THEY KNOW" is not going to work- when used ,"exactly" as what it was designed for. Blame the supplier or what ever makes you feel good. Not a happy VIP customer.
