I received a $25 voucher from ChickAdvisor to use towards an order of $100 or more in exchange for providing an honest review of Voilà Curbside Pickup. I used it at the Safeway at Willingdon and Hastings in Burnaby.
The service was courteous and prompt. The ordering on the web site worked well. However, when I brought the groceries home I found that the bag of spinach I ordered was past the best before date, mushy and smelled like fish. 4 of the 5 other vegetables in my order were also mushy or rotten. I still needed to have more than 1 vegetable for the week, so I took these products back and went in the store to do my own shopping, which defeats the purpose of curbside pickup and uses twice as much gas, as well as forcing me to shop at a more expensive grocery store than I would normally use, at a time when I would not normally go in the store because there are too many people present.
In the store, I found that for all of the vegetables I had chosen except one, every single one in the store was also expired or rotten. I was under the impression that Safeway had better produce than other, cheaper grocery stores in the area but after this experience I can say this is no longer the case, at least for this store. I found other vegetables that were passable and took them and their rotten counterparts to the customer service counter to discuss this. There was no one behind the customer service counter and several other annoyed customers waiting. One of them made her own exchange and then left the store unchecked. Over the next 10 minutes I left this counter periodically to find help and flagged down no less than 3 employees to ask if anyone can provide customer service, and they announced this over the PA system at least 4 times, but I still waited for 10 minutes before an employee came to the counter. She didn't know what to do about the voila service so after agreeing that my vegetables were rotten, she tried calling someone and then just said, whatever, you can replace them with something else if you like but we can't provide bags. I was frustrated by this time so I took the items I had found and left the store, even though they were not the same price as the items they were replacing.
If it's not already clear, I would not recommend this service or this store in any way. My family is high risk due to medical issues and I have been using pickup services or only going to stores at the time they open to avoid exposure. In addition to being completely a waste of time and money, this "curbside pickup" trip is the most exposure I've had to COVID in 2 years.

This multi-game set contains a 2 sided board and 2 types of tokens so that within 1 small box you can play tic tac toe, checkers and chess, so it's a good compact package to take on a trip or leave at a vacation home. The quality of the playing pieces is not great, the checkers are wood so they have a nice texture but some are chipped and they are very slippery so even if you just slightly bump the board they will all go flying. The chess pieces are constructed strangely, the bishops and queen have 2 pieces glued on top of each other and some of them are not glued straight so they look a little like the leaning tower of Pisa. At first I thought it was a nice looking set but after trying it out I found it's not as functional as I'd like and could use better quality control. -

I received a free sample of Chapman’s Cookies & Cream and Milk Chocolate Ice Cream Bar from ChickAdvisor.com and my daughters and I all loved them! The ice cream flavour is similar to Oreo Ice cream but I find the Chapmans ice creams are more creamy and less sugary and have more flavour. The chocolate coating is crispy and cold and melts in your mouth for a perfect summer treat. -

I received a free sample of BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages Hydro Seal™ Advanced Healing from FamilyRated Club. I tried it on a small cut on my arm and it worked great! The bandage is light and almost the same colour as my skin so I can hardly tell it's there and it lasted longer than most bandages do because the seal works so well. -
