Although grocery prices remain hefty in Canada, many aren't happy with the quality of the shopping experience they receive when visiting the supermarket.

From remembering to bring your own reusable bags to self-checkout options becoming more and more popular, going to the grocery store has changed for the worse, many argue.

"The entire process of buying groceries is now terrible. Not just the fact that we have to pay insane prices but the actual experience of going to a grocery store is just awful," a TikTok user who posted about the shopping experience in Canada recently said online.

"This is not the way it should be."

The video has garnered over 760,000 views and has people questioning their time spent at the grocery store.

"We aren't allowed a plastic bag but every single grocery item is in plastic," one comment on the video said. "Make it make sense."

I cannot see self checkout as beneficial. Items that were accidently stolen, will always happen. #Loblaws #Sobeys #ShoppersDrugMart #Walmart And people cannot pack their goods like a real Clerk can- And, by hiring people, you keep good ties with the Community. #Toronto #Montreal

The viral video also touches on changes that have been made at stores if you choose to shop with a grocery cart.

"Places that didn't use to require a coin to take a shopping cart, now have a coin. Places that used to be 25 cents, now it's a loonie," the user explains.

The rise of the self-checkout is also being picked apart by shoppers.

"When you check out, there's no lanes open. You have to go to the self-checkout and then manually enter 87 different produce numbers."

I am in Toronto and I have had issues with them at Wal Mart in the past because the stupid gate at the self checkout went off the few times I used them (I already paid in case anybody is wondering), not with the self checkouts themselves

A Toronto grocery shopper has also gone online to complain about scanning your own items.

"You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers in place," the shopper said on Facebook. "I'm not interested in the job."

With costs continuing to stay steep across the country, the Government of Ontario announced Monday that new measures are in progress to better prevent retailers across all industries from engaging in practices such as price gouging as shoppers continue to struggle with record inflation for food.
