Alex Farm Products At Humbertown

Needed a particular cheese for a recipe. It occurred to me before I went, that I could just as easily go to the big grocery store in the same plaza. I decided, shop small, so what if you pay a titch more?
I needed a cheese I’ll likely never need or eat again. I asked where it was. The man unhelpfully grunted toward a general direction. Couldn’t find it. He kept pointing, I kept not seeing it. Leaving the counter was apparently not a possibility. (We were the only 2 in the store.)
Found it. Only large $ 30 sizes. Asked if he would cut me a smaller piece. He asked how small. I said in half. He condescending laughed at me and said he «couldn’t» (wouldn’t) do it. He can’t sell cheese that size! Who would buy cheese that size?! Umm… ME!
Irritated, I poked around for a few more minutes. But then I thought, why am I trying to spend money here?
I walked out and into the grocery store and bought exactly what I needed. And another cheese, too.
This fellow is content to be unhelpful, piss off customers, and lose sales. I sure hope it’s his store!
Bottom line:
*Little to no service
*Rude when you do get it
*Overpriced
Don’t bother. The allure of this type of store is largely the charm. They seem to be fresh out.

Selection is wide and intelligent
Service is attentive but frankly not straightforward. They’ll give you more than you want or ask for. And it is expensive! Often leave irritated.

Came across this store randomly while I was in the west end.
I found the service here to be a bit rude and dismissive.
Will not be returning to this store.
There are plenty more cheese stores in Toronto where people are helpful and friendly.
Bring your business elsewhere unless you enjoy being spoken to in a condescending manner.
I am only giving them a star because the cheese is not bad.
