Continental Liquors

The new owners are nice like the previous ones.
They have great prices. I stop by when i need to grab a bottle late at night.

I’ve looked everywhere for the Stone 10^th Anniversary Ruination and finally found a couple bottles at Continental Liquors! The man working behind the counter was super-​friendly. One of the bottles was in the fridge, but he found a second in the back for me! What a great day!

I used to pass by whenever I was in the area visiting family that live out there and friends that go to ucsb and every time I asked myself why I went back. The lady that owned the place was so rude. Thank god it’s under new ownership though! They remodeled the whole store and completely changed the prices to be much cheaper! Saved me a lot of money. The owners are so friendly too! I recommend you guys go check it out!

I have lived in S.B. and Goleta my entire life. I used to live in Elwood, so I passed by this liquor store kind of frequently. I now live downtown. I had stopped going to this liquor store long ago, because I always felt the rude, older lady who is always working at the counter was over-​charging me.
I went there again last night after avoiding the place for over a year. That was a mistake.
The older lady was again at the counter. I brought up four $.99 ice cream bars to the counter. She rang me up a total of over $ 8 initially. I said something along the lines of, «Hey, these say they are $.99 a piece on the package.»
She said, «Ok.» And she re-​rang me up. The total this time was $ 4.74. How, when sales tax here is 7.75%, could she possibly have reached that total?
I asked her for a receipt, and she told me that they were out of receipt tape.
Its not the few cents I am concerned about. Its the utter unscrupulousness with which they run their business.
A horrible sales lady with a horrible attitude, selling a poor selection of beers and wines at inflated prices… and she still tries to charge a few extra cents on even the simplest of transactions…
Like I told that woman last night, I am never going there again.

I believe it would be in your best interest to buy your liquor, beer, snacks or anything else anywhere else.

I created this Unilocal account just to vent my displeasure at this business. Hopefully I saved some people from heading in to this thoroughly disappointing establishment.
