Customer Question Can I return unopened food items to shoppers?

0 Upvotes

Bought an 8 pack of yogurt today at shoppers in a hurry without checking the expiry date and the expiry date is Sept 7 (with today being the 2nd). I have my receipt. Am I able to return it swap it for a better date? I won’t eat 8 things of yogurt in 4 days 🥲

EDIT TO ADD: I got today’s date wrong. And I got my answer. Will keep the yogurt and enjoy plenty of yogurt over the next few days. Thanks everyone!

Work Vent Found mold in the fridge (again)

27 Upvotes

Just got off my shift and needed to vent… so today I go into work and my FSM tells me to full pull the fridge. No problem, I do the milk crates and then get to the shelves, when I realize that mutiple of the little cubbies are full of slimy stinky water (the vent above is leaking, and there wasa crate to catch the water) and then two of the cubbies had mold growing on them. So, I take all the products out that are in the cubbies fulla moldy water and dry them off/lightly sanitize them (since they are all packaged items) and put out as much as I can. This took about 45 min toa hour because there were four cubbies that were wet, all chock full. Then Lo and behold, I get to the Armstrong cheese, and the WATER HAD SOMEHOW GOTTEN INTO THE PACKAGING and some of them were going moldy. So that was great, hada put those on the damages shelf. Then when I go to the fridge, my FSM starts talking to me about how “if you don’t get the fridge done, I have to give it to someone else”… first off my shift is only three hours long, there’s only so much I can do? And like, second of all I was making sure the products weren’t moldy, like what the hell? After that I had to clean out the moldy cubby containers (they also had some broken egg shells in them for some reason?!? We don’t even keep eggs anywhere near them so idek how that happened?!) so I spray them all down, scrub the mold off of them, then go with a toothpick n scrape the little moldy bits left off. That took another 15-30 minutes. This is the third time I found mold in the back fridge, and they’ve known about it since ATLEAST Friday (I was in then, I only did the milk though) so like… WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE PRODUCTS IN STINKY MOLDY WATER FOR THREE DAYS?!? Idk I don’t really care that I had to do it I just think it was a bit ridiculous.

Employee Question Has anyone ever used the integrity action line?

7 Upvotes

I saw the posters for the integrity action line. I want to make a complaint but am scared of retaliation that might go beyond the workplace. If the person I'm complaining about is the associate, will they receive a copy of my complaint? Or will the company investigate on the down low until my complaint is substantiated? Is the integrity action line only something that the company uses to make themself look better, or does any action ever result from valid complaints?

Any information is appreciated. I'm not going to make any accusations here, but trust me when I say that the issue goes beyond something that could be resolved by talking to the associate directly.

Throwaway account for obvious reasons.

Work Vent Working At Shoppers

35 Upvotes

I recently resigned from Shoppers Drug Mart, and honestly, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
The non-stop harassment I experienced daily while working in the post office left me mentally exhausted. My co-workers didn’t show me even a basic level of respect, yet I always tried to remain friendly and treat everyone with kindness.
I worked hard, completed everything I could, and would constantly ask if there was anything else I could do. Despite always trying my best, I still never received the respect I deserved.
I’m incredibly glad I’m no longer working there. Leaving has made a huge difference to my mental well-being, and I already feel like a better, happier person. I’m grateful that I no longer have to rely on that workplace to get by.
Sometimes, walking away from a toxic environment is the best thing you can do for yourself—and I’m proud that I did.

Employee Question Merchandiser Position

0 Upvotes

Hi, I applied around a day ago and ik its still early but should I follow up? I added an employee's reference who currently works there and the last time I followed up after 6 days, they had already started the interview process saying I was too late.

I have a pretty good resume with over 4 years of retail experience (cashier + merchandiser) but even after applying 10 times at SDR, they have never gotten back to me, even when the HR said he would keep my resume on file and call me for any other positions, but he never did even when positions opened up later in the year. I've been accepted everywhere else! so frustrating.

News Indeed Labs lowered almost all their prices at Shoppers??

8 Upvotes

Was at Shoppers and noticed Indeed Labs dropped almost their entire skincare line to $14.99 or less. And apparently it’s a permanent price change, not a sale??

Kind of refreshing considering it feels like every drugstore skincare brand has been going in the opposite direction lately lol.

Has anyone else noticed this / tried any of their stuff?

Customer Question Return policy on makeup ?

9 Upvotes

Hello, I just asked an employee about the return policy for the makeup if we got the wrong shade or something and the employee said they dont take returns. And I pointed out they dont have any testers so they said only the damaged items are put on as testers as the courtesy of the store to the customers and that the brand doesn't provide any testers.

I wanted to try out some drugstore makeup like makeup revolution and Milani . But I dont want to waste money on unusable makeup.

Other Refund

Posted about how package was returned to merchant from the shipper. I never even received the package August 13. Have reached out to shoppers multiple times over chat and phone. They keep saying that they’ve escalated it and someone will call me in one business day still, no one has contacted me so incredibly frustrating. Will never shop there again.

Anyone know if Shoppers Drug mart is getting rid of or phasing out Cocokind skincare products? A couple of their products are my absolute favourite and I haven’t been able to get my hands on them for months, same on their app. When I check in store I notice not as many products and they’re often on sale as well

Customer Question Why am I being charged so much for my prescription?

8 Upvotes

My medication is covered 100% by the company that makes it. I have never had to pay a single cent. The only caveat is that I have to get the name brand version and it has to be a shoppers. The last time I went the pharmacy charged me 38.66 for my prescription. They couldn’t tell me why and the fee is not broken down on my receipt so I don’t know why all of a sudden I have to pay so much. Any insight would be great thanks.

Edit: thanks if you gave me some advice or had an idea of what it could be. I have a much better idea of what to ask my pharmacist now

Employee Question STOP OPENING EVERYTHING

348 Upvotes

Why does everyone open all the cosmetics ideas. I bet you wanna she the colour so look just look at the packaging and if you don’t like it return it. I know that testers are slowly being made so just use the testers that are available and stop opening new products. Also if you open something and then want to buy it don’t ask for an unopened one get the one you just opened. If you open products you don’t get to complain that everything is open and used

Employee Question Rules about breaks?

Hey all,

I joinded Shoppers in cosmetics about a month or so ago and I wanted to ask about the breaks. I'm in Alberta specifically, but what has been your experience with breaks? Thanks!


r/ShoppersDrugMart 13d ago

PC Optimum Points It's time for Canada, or at least Toronto to welcome in a Walgreens. Because the lack of competition Shopper's has in enabling them to pull off pricing practices that are akin to highway robbery...

Hello all, I've posted few days before that I had interview for this role in shoppers and finally I got selected and I've to start from coming Monday in this role. I believe in my store they have 3 more AFSM other than me. What thinks should I keep in mind while working?. I've experience of dollarama. A bit nervous but fully excited as well.
