This owner is a liar, con artist and thief! My wife’s English isn’t all that great and this poor excuse for a human being took full advantage of that. We have been a total of 3 times. The first time, I purchased 2 packs of Salem Ultra Light 100’s for $ 11.18. Change of $ 8.82 given. The next time my wife went alone. Change of $ 7.82 was given. Thinking it was a simple mistake, I thought nothing of it. Went on Wednesday and I waited in the car. My wife returned with $ 7.82 in change. I went in and asked the Middle Eastern Gentleman if he had made a mistake. He immediately blew up asking me how much change was given. I remained calm and told him the change was off. He kept asking me how much change was given(ie having me count out the loose change). I said«The .88 cents was correct but.» and just then he reaches in the till and takes out $ 1.00! This poor excuse for a human being knew full well and he had conned a poor little innocent Japanese girl and knew it was $ 1.00 short! He then proceeded slam the dollar bill on the counter and kept saying«where you from?» «where you from?»(I’m a white male from California-not that it matters anyway) Knowing that he’s been caught thieving from a customer, he had the audacity to start yelling in full voice to never come back over and over again. All this in front of 2 customers waiting.(If you, one of the 2 customers view this review, please post). I left and told him I wouldn’t be back. My wife later told me that he didn’t use the computerized till and that he had used a calculator. In doing so, he could give any change he wanted and have no record of it in case someone can do basic math. I’m sure he has done this many times to any non native English speakers unable to defend themselves. I will be reporting him to Cigarettes R Cheaper and the BBB.

always have a deal on two packs or more. when you buy a carton, the younger guys throw in a lighter. closes early. waaaay cheaper then the gas stations.

Person behind counter completely ignored me for five minutes. I finally told him I needed 2 cigars when I found the ones I was looking for. Didn’t say a word the entire time I was in the store. I got my credit card statement today. I found out he’d accidentally charged me twice for a total of over $ 50. I’m going to have to take time out of an already insanely busy week to deal with this. Went back yesterday with the receipt. A different person was working who took care of me. He explained that the original employee was the owner’s father and isnt’ very personable. The man today was helpful and polite. He saved this place from a 1 star review.
