With the Sobeys store in Tecumseh mall closing; you might think that the other grocery stores would be vying for our service. Not so. We were shopping at the Metro on Tecumseh Rd. E at 4:30 this afternoon. Our checker was more intent on carrying a LONG conversation with the gal who was bagging our groceries. It was taking a very long time to ring our few things through so I thought I would go to the lotto counter to buy a scratch ticket. The girl there could see me waiting, but after serving the two people in her line-up, said she would have to call another person to serve me. After waiting for about 5 minutes for the person to show up, I left. At least at Zehr's; we expect poor service because they don't very often have more than one checker working, so we use the self checkout. Apparently, customer service has died.
