My first experience at this store was quite pleasant. They had a decent selection and the nice lady working was very helpful. My second time going will now be my last. I went with two of my guy friends, but we were all making separate purchases. When I put down what I was going to buy, the angry man in the Adidas track suit behind the counter proceeded to tell me that I needed to buy the guys’ purchases, as well. «You are a girl. You have everything bought for you.» I felt very uncomfortable and a little bit attacked, but I tried to say that I was only buying the one thing. Then he rung me up for all of them saying I had to. «It makes me feel good to watch you have to buy this for them. Now you know what it feels like to be a man.» I don’t mind buying things for my friends, but this felt very wrong. I went ahead and bought it just to make the situation go away, but I will never come back to this place again. No one should ever speak to anyone that way. And it seemed to me that he was taking advantage of me for being a young woman and essentially punishing me for it. So if you want to buy cheap beer without crying, I suggest going somewhere else.

Skip this place. That’s all you honestly need to know.

This is my first 1 star review, but it has to be done. My experience at this place had always been that of friendly and convenient. They have a decent selection of liquor & beer. But this last trip, will be my last. I was on the hunt for cotton candy vodka and had heard this place was one of a few that carried it. I stopped in and began to look around. All the while, the young clerk chatted on his cell phone. It wasn’t until I asked for help that he offered his assistance. He was friendly enough, but instead of just telling me they didn’t carry the vodka any longer, he proceeded to tell me why it was bad and how his other products were superior. I’m all for upselling, but I just got a weird vibe. I should have listened to my instinct. I decided to purchase 2 flavored vodka’s that he suggested. He also kept handing me vodka samples which I thought was both cool and kind of creepy. As I started to pull my AmEx out of my wallet he stopped me and asked if I could use another card, pointing to my brand new never before used Chase visa. He started in on how AmEx is a pain for small businesses, blah blah blah… I quickly handed him my Chase card just to shut him up and hurry out of there. A few days later I received a call from a camera company in New York City asking for authorization on a purchase. A purchase I never made! And guess what card it was on… yep, the Chase card. I had used it once only at the liquor store and a few days later I have a sketch purchase for a $ 500 camera from a guy named Muhammad? I reported this finding to the BPD as recommended by my card company and they said they have a special task force looking into local identity theft. The whole scenario makes me sick. I would HIGHLY advise against using anything other than cash at this place… IF you even go here.
