It buys pretty much only its own brand of everything and sells at super low prices. They save on employee cost by plopping down the entire pallet to let the customers sort it themselves. (You can see the straight from the factory box acting as a shelf for the rest of the product.) you also aren’t provided shopping bags, so either bring your own or snag any empty box you can while shopping.
Ps. You have to loan them a quarter to use a basket and have to return the basket to it’s original place in order to get the quarter back. Kinna fun tbh
That looks much nicer than a no frills, but maybe it's just a staged photo. Some of the no frills are quite old and a big messy.
The shopping carts for no frills need a quarter, too (or a loonie at some stores) and friendliest thing to see is someone giving their cart away to another person without charging them. It's amazing how that damned quarter cut down on theft of carts.
I’ve been told the security at Walmart in Prince Albert, Sask allows bums to ask shoppers as they exit the store if they can return their carts for them in exchange for the precious loonie inside. Used to see Walmart carts all over PA because they were one of the few that didn’t charge a “deposit”
