Corner Liquors

Oh, you don’t know about Corner Liquors?
It’s by 4 bus stops on Holton & Burleigh.
It’s across from the cash only gas station that you don’t want to go to… that’s cool… I’ll go.
GIVE ME ALL THE SHADY CASH ONLY BUSINESS DUKEDOMS.
I can empathize with the trepidation some may feel when contemplating a visit to an establishment like Corner Liquors.
Let me tell you, this place is better than you might expect.
It is VERY clean and organized. I cannot say the same about the typical clientele.
Yes, the entire counter area is encased in a plastic/​glass type tank cage that doesn’t look like it could stop a bullet. Yes, it’s basically a boozed up convenience store. But this one is cleaner than most & has solid employees.
I use this place to grab emergency beer if I don’t want anything special.
They carry just about any mass produced domestic beer you can imagine. However, you won’t see many craft beers. They seem to sell a lot of cigarettes & chips. Plus, you can find any denomination of booze bottle.
Once, I held an 18 pack of High Life & a 12 pack of cider & waited behind a woman who asked about the prices of the tiny airline ready bottles of liquor. She asked & asked. The worker patiently informed her of each price & counted the woman’s change as she paid for each individually. With change. Coins.
How much is that? *Counts out change* How much is that? *Counts out change* Ad nauseam. She was going to seize that Friday night.
The owners /​operators are very friendly & mean business. They opened an additional cash register so that I didn’t have to wait for the madness to subside.
Get in. Get out.
Get drunk on an armload of fun sized bottles of booze you bought after smashing your kid’s piggy bank.
Aren’t all bottles of alcohol fun sized?
