I love Western foods because they have the best selection of organic and specialty foods. I am very disappointed though that there is not a washroom that you can use now. Older people seem to have issues issues with bladder control and not having a bathroom and emergency when you're shopping is really inconvenient. I love the store and it's products though I just wish I didn't have to go to village foods because they have a bathroom.

This store is dirty. I mean... I would NOT buy my food there. The produce section has flies! Seriously disgusting. I looked at the meat department and some of their beef looks brown and old. I don't think it would be a good idea to shop there. There is a much better (and clean) alternative across the street. Stay safe, everyone!

Due to the legal situation surrounding Confidentiality of medical and mental history it is not mandatory to provide proof of Mask exemption, which was stated to both managers. At the till I was told I had to either wear a mask to pay, or leave. After some discussions I decided to leave. I was also told that the staff member deemed I did not have a medical exemption based on my reply to his request to put a Mask on. I simply said "I do not have to wear a mask" about 3 times in a row. I will refrain from naming the staff by name here, but I will be looking

This store is experiencing a crisis in management. Customer service is deteriorating, the meat department is still a threat to the public health, meat should not be green, and I think the bottom is in sight...on a personal note, I had a very unfortunate experience here recently. I am a diabetic. There are times when I need to check on my blood glucose level, and sticking your finger in public is bad manners. So I like to use a washroom for this. This store's washrooms are posted as closed to the public, but I have used them for my specific medical situation in the recent past. On this day, the
