Quickie the Convenience Stores

As you all know, convenience stores are rarely exciting.
Is this local general store it remarkable? Nay. Is it pricey? Absolutely — as are all convenience stores if you are buying basic groceries or OTC pharmaceuticals.
If you live in the neighbourhood, and you are without a vehicle, it does have some purpose. It’s concealed within Herongate Mall, on the North/​Heron Road side.
I appreciate that there seem to be two regular friendly & competent cashiers that know & recognize me. So on that end, it would normally give this store a 3 star rating. Although I find the store dirty, it does have some utility. Beyond that, the average Unilocaler has no reason to visit, unless you live in the neighborhood.
The Canada Post outlet results in the drop to the one star.
I am forced to use this location to pick up a package. More often than not, what seems to be a easy, simple transaction, turns into a frustratingly miserable experience. I have no option but to pick up my larger packages at this spot.
The most recent counterperson’s inability to service customer’s needs is appalling. Count on the employee to complain about his job and Canada Post in general. Watch in amazement as he grumbles and mumbles, rolls his eyes, as he gives his rationale as why he can’t help you.
His body language portrays that his job is killing him slowly, yet causing him great pain. His impatience is mind-​boggling. It’s like he tries to punish you for burdening him with work. He infuriates, as his body portrays the hard labour involved in calculating postage costs or poring through a smattering of packages to find inherent property.
My experience has been that there is ALWAYS a lengthy lineup. This counter person fails in client service in every way imaginable.
If you need to mail something, know that in a couple of months, this undependable Canada Post will be closed.
