Kaneohe Market

OBVIOUSLY this store likes to play favorites: Nice to only certain people and rude AF to everyone else. This place is shady. Smells bad and prices on nothing (so they can swindle you). Family Grocery and Gas Station Marts are the better choice in this case.

I usually buy my drinks etc from the gas station next door, or the 7 – 11 down the street but today I decided to support an independent local business.
When I went to the register to pay I put my drink on the counter but the man behind the counter glanced at me several times and continued his conversation with the woman that was also behind the counter. I held up my drink to show him I was ready to purchase but he ignored me. After finally coming over to the counter he rang me up. I accidentally thought he had charged me too much (my fault) and when I asked about it he sarcastically made a big overture with the register to show me I was wrong.
I’m sorry, but it’s just as easy to go shop next door. They might be a few pennies cheaper but it’s not worth the irritation.

Kaneohe Market is the best liquor store on Oahu. Whenever I go to the beach on the east side, I always stop at Kaneohe Market to pick up necessities like spam musubi, boiled peanuts, shrimp chips and other snacks, cans of Hawaiian Sun juice, and ice for my cooler. The breakfast bowls are broke da mout, and are even better with a can of Royal Mills iced cappuccino. The family who owns and operates Kaneohe Market is extremely nice. They are always happy to see me. The sisters who work there also sell handmade jewelry that make awesome gifts for any occasion for girls of all ages. I love Kaneohe Market!

Prices on tobacco are cheaper than most store large chain convenience stores. Liquor selection is good too. I’ve never had a problem with Customer service. But, then again I’m not expecting anything more than a hole in the wall liquor store would have to offer.

Well, all we wanted was to get some water on our way to do some kayaking in the bay. When we walked in (main-​landers as we were) you would have thought we were considered trespassers by the look we received from the female store clerk. I was ready to leave without so much as pulling out my wallet but my girlfriend had made a quick selection and was walking to the counter. It only got worse when my girlfriend asked this clerk about an item being sold on the counter. We got a verbal splash in our face from the woman due to our ignorance of the goods on sale. Needless to say, this is a store that will be passed over by us in the future no matter how thirsty we are.

Do not, I repeat, do NOT COME HERE! I’m all for supporting the local businesses, but only if they deserve business. I used to come here late to pick up snacks and drinks since it’s one of the only small businesses in Kaneohe that’s open late. Last night was my third and LAST time going to the store. I walked into the store and the rude Chinese men working in the front looked at me and said nothing. Then another person walked in right after me and the men said «Hello, welcome!» I brushed it off and went to pick out my snacks. The whole store reeked of spam. I think they were cooking spam musubis to sell the next day (ew). I looked at the musubis for sale and they didn’t look so fresh so I decided to get a lemon and some chips. All of the lemons looked gross and rotten (like the musubis) so I decided to just get the chips. Went to the counter to pay and the man said «I can’t sell you that.»
I said «What?»
“I can’t sell you that. Do you know what I’m saying?”
«Yup. I’ll take my business elsewhere.»
These people obviously do not want business, so I highly suggest that you stay out of their store and give your business to people who want it.
