I continue to shop at Safeway, even though there is both No Frills and Walmart groceries within 250 metres. Yes, three within 250 metres.  Pushing the Compliments brand onto Safeway customers was a mistake, to be sure, but not enough to make me go elsewhere. Metro is not bad but at the one closest to me, the aisles are too narrow. I realize that Safeway cost more, but the store is well laid out, well supplied, and the staff is superb. The fact that it cost more is a bonus; it acts as a shield because you never see any riff raff in there.
