What is with the sullen and unhelpful staff at the Dominion on Quidi Vidi Lake? They can't be overworked because the place always seems empty. Are they just bored? Recently, Downrightcranky had to wait to get served at the bakery section for 15 minutes for someone to come back from their break. DRC will not even discuss the anger management issues over at the deli section. And does anyone actually work downstairs in the flower section? Try asking a random staffer where the horseradish is and you get an agitated glare and this response: "if it is not over on that aisle, I guess we don't carry it." Not only did City Council do us all a disservice by greenlighting a supermarket in the former Memorial Stadium but now we have to deal with a bunch of bitchy workers in one of the most tranquil and prettiest areas in town. Let's just say, DRC will no longer be picking up a sandwich after a pleasant walk around the lake.
In contrast, shopping at Sobeys @ Merrymeeting Road is a ray of sunshine. Staff always ask at the check -out if you found everything you were looking for. And if you point out that they don't sell a particular product, they will order it in within a week or two.

what? friendly st. john's? either you're not from here or you went away and forgot about the st. john's day to day shopping experience. service has always been generally "cranky" in this town. it was relief to return from boring old plastic canada and get real people behind the counter. ant good srvice? be witty. that's how we've always done it. observe the older generations communicate if you don't believe
