Disappointed that 2 of my frequently bought items have been discontinued for less quality brands. I didn't buy Selection Potato Salad & won't buy Tim Nels Jamaican patties again.
If METRO doesn't STOP their form of GREED-FLATION I'm going to BUY MY GROCERIES SOMEWHERE ELSE!! 2 days out to buy 2 specific items & 2 days disappointed. BRING BACK LARGE TUBS OF ALL KEY BRAND POTATO (ETC.) SALADS; NOT SELECTIONS BRAND VARIETY OF ANY SIZE TUBS OF SALADS. RUNNY!! BRING BACK PATTY PALACE JAMAICAN PATTIES 14 BOX ALL INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED, GOOD PASTRY, WELL MADE, WELL FILLED. NOT TIN NEL 10 BOX. THROWN IN 1 BAG. FLIMSY, THIN BEEF, THIN PASTRY NOT ALWAYS SEALED AT EDGES. STOP TRADING QUALITY; PRICE IS NO LOWER, IN FACT HIGHER IN SOME CASES WHERE THE QUALITY IS LOWER. METRO; ITS JUST A WAY TO CHARGE THE SAME OR MORE FOR LESS & LESS QUALITY $$$ PROFIT!! THAT'S STILL ANOTHER FORM OF WHAT METRO DENIES, WHAT THEY'VE BEEN ACCUSED OF DOING. GREED-FLATION. METRO YOU'RE NOT SUFFERING!! IF YOU WERE, YOU WOULDN'T BE HAVING ALL THOSE FREE GROCERY CONTESTS. BRING BACK QUALITY!! YOUR LONG TIME SHOPPERS, SHOP THERE BECAUSE OF IT.. QUALITY THAT IS!!

Original review updated by user Feb 13, 2023
My husband and I have used our local Metro store for about five years because of its convenience, being situated just across the road from where we live. However, it always appears that we are under over-zealous scrutiny from security and staff each time we visit. We have no idea why because we spend a lot of money each time we shop and certainly don't act in a suspicious manner. Perhaps it's because we are a mixed-race couple, maybe dress too casually or are considered scruffy, too fat, too old, or a combination of biases? I understand a rise in the cost of grocery items correlates to a rise in shoplifting, but seriously, enough is enough already. We have experienced a plethora of odd incidents relating to staff following us, scrutiny from till operatives as we walk down each aisle and staff has literally breathed down our necks at the self-checkout, even when putting on my gloves after paying. Although we have joked about this problem, the realization that this does not happen elsewhere has clinched the decision to call it quits and not visit the store again. I believe it is better to have some self-respect and not allow retail employees to treat you in this manner, so Metro at 221 Lloyd Manor Rd, Etobicoke can go and do one...maybe hassle someone else with their "isms" for a change. User's recommendation: Be aware of staff prejudices.
