Do we only have 1 Sobeys Urban Express in Ottawa? Wonder if they are going to have a stock of gift cards
Thanks for all the feedback on LCBO - I bought another bottle using my wife's AM card so hopefully they go through for STB
Yes there is only one Sobeys Urban Express in Ottawa.
We had a very disappointing experience this morning trying UNSUCCESSFULLY to do STB at it.
We live in the suburbs. We NEVER go downtown. But today I made a very early trip by bus downtown so I could get to Urban Express and back before work.
**THEY HAD NO GIFT CARDS**.
I asked to speak with a Manager. The Manager explained that they ran out **Last week**. That Sobey's corporate had shorted them gift cards. They had ordered 15 *boxes* and were sent *ZERO*. He even showed me the shipping confirmation of how many ordered vs received. The other day they sent an employee to a Sobey's to get some cards, and this morning were sending someone else to get more. They had already complained to Corporate.
None of that helped me. He offered to take my info and use it to purcahse a card and set it aside for me to pick up on another day, but I won't be downtown for months so that won't work either.
Trying to figure out now how to get our 7th STB so we don't lose the extra 1000 miles :-(
With no kids, no pets and no alcohol, it makes getting 7 a bit challenging. We drove to Russel/Embrun this weekend to do Foodland and Jean Coutu - while actually a nice drive, still it is >30 minutes each way. On the plus side, Foodland had some allergy-friendly products that are normally hard to find so we may be back to visit them once or twice a year !!
