Neffry Liquor Store

This may be called Gomez Liquor, (I don’t remember, but that’s the name visible on this business in Google Maps street view). Either way, I am pretty sure this store tried to rip me off, big time. Bullet proof glass and an assortment of wine and liquors that you can’t personally peruse is bad enough. I know I was here on a Sunday, but come on, it is 3:00 in the afternoon, and is kind of hard to know what is available and make an informed purchasing decision if the store is padlocked shut. Even worse, there’s no way of knowing how much you’ll be charged for something, and no way to ensure that you’re getting the real price. When you’re a white girl who is still mistaken for 16, you definitely smell a rat when you ask for a bottle of Chardonnay, and the cashier brings back a generic Yellowtail that he claims is $ 11. Buddy, please, my parents drink Yellowtail all the time, and I happen to know that a magnum (aka two bottles) only costs $ 10. When I expressed my disbelief, the sassy black ladies behind me encouraged me to make him get me something cheaper, which I did. The store is sketchy and the cashier is a sleeze. Don’t try and rip off your customers, buddy, it’s bad business. And if that happens to be what you really charge for a $ 6 – 7 bottle of Yellowtail, that is a crime. Since when does a shit hole liquor store in the Bronx have the right to tack on a 45% mark up? You should be ashamed of yourself.
