You wouldn’t be smiling if you had to work on Gottingen St every day.
The guy working this post office counter also covers the drug store cash and his attitude doesn’t get any better. I won’t buy anything at this store unless I’m really, really, really stuck for whatever I need. You’d think the franchisor would want their name taken off the building by now given the poor customer service.
Bo Gus, Gottingen really isn’t that bad anymore, and the gentri/Yuppi/artistification will only continue until it turns into “Downtown North” or something like that. Natural land and socio-economic forces are in full swing on Gottingen Street at the moment and it really has nowhere to go but up. Once all these private developments are finished and more are on the way, we will likely see further developmental pressures to “revitalize” public housing areas such as Uniacke Square to make them more upmarket. Sorry, but all you North-enders aren’t living in “the hood” anymore, and therefore lack the street cred. you secretly desire. All the artsy-fartsy NSCAD types are going to whine and complain about increasing rents and Starbucks and whatnot in “their” neighbourhood, but really it’s these types of people that started this trend in the first place. It’s been proven, look it up.
Oops, yeah, that post office… man, smile some more!
Nothing wrong with gott a gun street – its the sour ass employee – yea smile i know who your talking about – i think maybe he just needs a nice 500 dollar call girl to get laid with and it’ll solve his problem !!!Smile fucker before you have no customers to smile at
THis is my favorite drug store in the city. They know me and my son by name and talk to us alll the time and smile…all of them.
I think there must be something this person you are talking about doesn’treally want from you.
I rave about this place. The pharmicist is kind, friendly and is more than helpful. The front cash guy you are talking about is really busy and he does a fine job. He really does have a greatsmile! Maybe he just doesnt smile at you. Holy god!
