“I had an outstanding experience at this kids' shoe store! The staff was incredibly professional and attentive, carefully making sure that the shoes fit my daughter perfectly. They truly go above and beyond just making a sale; they genuinely care about the fit and comfort of their customers. I highly recommend them!”
“Firstly, I was drawn to the store by a employee promoting the sale right outside the store over the last weekend before Christmas. It was very great people-to-people marketing!
Once inside, every worker was super helpful! Customer service was really great! Which I feel had a trickle down effect to how customers treated one another while navigating a very small space. Didn't feel crowded, everyone was so polite.
I ended up purchasing two graphic tees (both Nirvana) super happy with my purchase!”
“Well, when I shop at Mission Thrift, I tend to spend $50-$70 each time, finding men's and women's tops for $5-$8, unless they are $75 off! I'm VERY impressed with how beautiful, and refreshing the store is now! What a transformation, from floors to the top of the racks! Anyone who doesn't acknowledge the fantastic prices, need to try shopping at any other store--for example children's clothing are certainly not $2-$3 like at Mission Thrift!! It's my go to!”
“I went to the Newmarket store with my son. This was our first time at a George Richards Big and Tall. Even though he found items he liked. We were really disappointed in how expensive it was and how many logo and meme style clothes there were. What happened to plain clothes for kids that dont want pictures or saying writing all over them, or stripes?”
“Called after closing hours. Alexia went over and beyond to see if an item I was looking for, was is in stock for me. She’s an exemplary employee and I hope that management gives her credit for it.”
“My first time in the store, my daughter needed new grip tape for her board. Zack was amazing, he helped with everything. Extremely knowable and gave outstanding advise to her (and me, IM learning lol). Zack was amazing and we look forward to visiting again. The service he provided along with his knowledge well you cant go wrong with this place.”
“Honestly, the return and exchange policy here is pretty straightforward and clearly posted.
As customers, taking a moment to understand the policy is part of making an informed purchase.”
“I had such a great experience shopping at Dynamite thanks to Sienna! She was incredibly lovely, pleasant, and had amazing taste. Her style recommendations were spot on—she really took the time to understand my personal style and what would fit me best. I ended up purchasing so many pieces because of how well she guided me. Truly appreciate her exceptional service!”

American Eagle (Upper Canada Mall, Newmarket)
Yesterday, I really needed to buy a pair of jeans, one of them for the same evening. Because of my body size, it’s usually difficult for me to find clothes that fit well. I walked around the whole mall and finally stopped at American Eagle.
At first, I was looking in the wrong section (wide leg instead of straight fit), but then a very polite, friendly, and patient Black sales associate came to help me. She kindly explained the difference between straight and wide-leg jeans, and she brought me four pairs to try on.
Thanks to her help, I found exactly what I needed and purchased two pairs of jeans. She truly made my shopping experience much easier and more enjoyable.
I wish I knew her name to mention it here, but this was yesterday around 5 PM.
Thank you so much for your help!”
“Had a great experience! The employees were helpful and offered just the right amount of customer service. In some other stores, I feel like I’m being approached in every section I walk into, which can be a bit overwhelming but here, the support was perfect. Friendly and available when needed, without being overbearing!”
“I visited Urban Kids, Upper Canada Mall, yesterday to purchase some outfits for my nieces. I was greeted by one of the staff and he was so helpful! The three people who were working were doing a great job of keeping customers happy during an unexpectedly busy day. Keep up the great work!!!”
“Great quality for a bit higher price. This store carries a large supply of clothing for work or play. From all types of footwear, socks, pants, tops and coats. Gloves, hats, housecoats, swimsuits at certain times of the year. Also some interesting gift ideas.
Large change rooms.”
“I visited the Eddie Bauer store at Upper Canada Mall and was assisted by Uzair. He gave me an insightful info about Eddie Bauer jackets and helped find the correct one, He was very professional.I highly recommend this place.”
“Wow! wow! Wow! Is all I can say about this Roots Location! The workers are so nice, very professional and very helpful when you need help! You tell they care about what they are doing and love the product that they are selling! I come all the way from Yorkville, Toronto to shop here! I won't go anywhere else!!!! Thank you ROOTS Upper Canada Mall! you guys are rocking it!!!”
“From the moment I walked in, Alex was a delight. She was personable, which made me feel comfortable while shopping. I hadn't planned on making a purchase, but after receiving such outstanding service from Alex, I was happy to buy something because of her kind demeanour.”
“I had a great shopping experience at Urban Planet in Upper Canada Mall thanks to Divya! She was so kind, patient, and helpful while I was choosing my items. It’s always nice to meet someone so friendly and professional. Thank you, Divya, for making my visit enjoyable!”

“Amazing customer service from the team at uppercanada, I had the WORST experience at Cookstown earlier today and almost wrote off H&M all together, but this team truly knows customer service - honoured my exchange and I spent another $100! I didn’t catch the managers name but she helped me at cash at 6pm today! Thank you!!!”
“Ruth was totally amazing. I hate shopping. My anxiety level was high.
Ruth made my experience @BR fabulous. And also a big thank you Nancy who knew fantastic suggestions for what to wear to a polo match.
Thank you ladies for your exceptional service and help

“I just wanted to say Sierra at this Garage location is honestly such a sweetheart. Every time I come in she’s so kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. She always goes out of her way to make sure you feel comfortable and find things that actually fit and look good. It’s rare to meet someone who makes shopping such a positive experience”
“It’s completely unacceptable to lash out at workers who are simply enforcing store policies or doing their best in a busy retail environment. Minimum wage does not mean minimum effort — these employees work hard and deserve basic respect. If a return is denied, a discount isn’t possible, or a policy is explained, that’s not the staff’s fault — it’s the rule of the company.
Customers should remember that kindness costs nothing. Attacking staff who are already stretched thin doesn’t solve anything and only makes the shopping experience worse for everyone. Respect the people working here — they’re the ones keeping the store running.”
“Too often, customers come in with unreasonable demands and complete disregard for store policies, then turn around and leave negative reviews when the staff can’t bend the rules for them. Policies are in place for a reason — to keep things fair, consistent, and safe for everyone.
It’s unfair to expect employees to make exceptions just because someone insists loudly or refuses to accept the rules. I’ve personally seen customers demanding returns far past the allowed period, trying to use worn or damaged items, or asking for discounts that clearly don’t apply. When the staff politely explain the policy, these same customers accuse them of being rude or unhelpful — when in reality, they’re just doing their jobs.
The truth is, the team here works hard to keep the store organized, provide good service, and respect every shopper. If more customers respected the policies and the staff enforcing them, the shopping experience would be much smoother for everyone.”

“Visited this store this evening, for the first time in a while. Last time I was here the return line was extremely slow. However I was surprised to see how fast the tall gentlemen at the women’s register was doing returns and the cash line by himself. He was working two registers at the same time, and he finished my return in less than a minute . Amazing work!”
“A fantastic store, right on main street. They have incredible animal or camping related designs and each item is extremely high quality. The owners are very kind, they gave me free socks for my wife on my first visit!!! The real star of the show is their shop manager - a very cuddly golden retriever. Must visit and you won't leave without buying at least 1 item.”
