Co-op Food Store - Red Deer

Love it here good donuts and produceLots of parkingFree carts ?Great staff

I just tried to call the bakery to order cupcakes for a friends birthday. When I called the employee who picked up transferred me to the bakery but it went straight to voicemail. I called back and the same employee was super mean and said I have to wait for it to go through but I did and it went to voicemail. Then she said she will just take the phone to the bakery because I’m her words “like I have nothing better to do”. Then the connection got messed up and they hung up. I called back to speak to a manager because this employee didn’t seem to want to help me and I heard two employees say the manager is in a meeting and then they hung up on me again. I will give the timberlands a call instead or another bakery but I don’t understand why the employee was so mean.

I stopped to pick up some fruits that they were selling outside the store on the table. The young woman told me I have to go inside and pay for my fruits. When I went inside the place was packed and all the tills had long lineups. I just left the fruits and left. It completely defeats the purpose of havig an outdoor fruit stand when one has to go inside just to pay for a small bag of fruits or veggies. Just have someone accept cash.

Dairy aka cheese mainly is double the price. But other great produce and produces. Always great staff.

I had a terrible experience with a cashier name SANDI recently.As I was checking out, she started making unpleasant sounds while handling my tofu, and barely touched it before throwing it to us. I felt like she was being disrespectful and unprofessional, and the fact that it seemed like racism only made things worse.I don't think anyone should be treated that way, and especially not when they're just trying to buy groceries. It's important for service providers to treat all customers with dignity and respect, regardless of their race or ethnicity.I emailed this to the management took my concerns seriously and that this kind of behavior won't happen again in the future but still haven’t got any response so they seems like THEY DON’T CARE. wake up people it’s 2023.
