Bevmo

This is a four star place to visit. It’s clean and well-​stocked. The folks who work here have always been friendly and can help me find what ever I’m looking for. I decided to take a star off though for a few reasons. Most of the stuff I like is usually locked behind one of their many locked glass cases, which means it take more time to flag someone down. Are there really that many thieves looking for a large bottle of Grey Goose that you couldn’t possible hide in your clothes? You need to get there when it’s empty to avoid long Friday afternoon lines. I don’t really like discount cards that track my purchases and make my wallet unnecessarily fatter. The selection of local wines is thin. Surprisingly, Albertson’s offers more local wines. They don’t have much selection in the under $ 10 wines the way Trader Joes and Grocery Outlet do. That’s my two cents.

This store is well stocked, clean, and in a convenient location. I am a member of BevMo. We’re set up for success so far, right? Wrong! This store has some clerks with a seriously bad attitude. I’ve experienced the following from male and female staff:
-
Place my purchases on the counter.
No eye contact from clerk.
No greeting — (none!).
Get asked, still with no eye contact «Are you a member?» (I answer, yes, I am… and start to wonder why I am)…
I am informed the total amount due, in the form of «$ 185.67».
I run my debit card.
Get asked, still with no eye contact, «Do you want a receipt»?
I answer, Yes, if you don’t mind.
Handed receipt, still with no eye contact.
Reach for my purchase as she turns her back on me, not even bothering to place my purchases closer on the counter to me.
-
Gee, I wonder what a non-​member gets treated like. The only reason I gave this store one star was for the shabby treatment from their staff.

I knew before I left the Paso Bemo I was getting on Unilocal.The man that was the cashier code was: Mgr Termnal. I said up front I wanted to become a «member.» He didn’t say, «great-​Thank you…» Nothing; handed me the little paper/​pen. He rang up my purchase, told me the total, took my payment — THEN TURNED HIS BACK ON ME. I had put my bag on the counter when I unloaded my cart. Had the nerve to look over his right shoulder as I WAS PACKING MY PURCHASE! I felt very disrespected & unvalued.
I’d like to give a «5 Star» to the nice lady w/​glasses that was very helpful — wish I had gone to her register! Thank you nice lady. I appreciated your kindness to me.
Shame on you «Manager». If I knew your name I’d write it.

I’ve been here a couple times now and I really like this location. It’s laid out a little funky, but that a small manner. Everyone has been really friendly every time I’ve walked in the door. I always find what I’m looking for and prices are fair.

Clean, organized store with many drink and snack options. I can always find unique beers and tequilas at decent prices.

Overall, I am a big fan of BevMo ALREADY. Whats not to like?! A wide variety of adult beverages, unique sodas, snacks and mixxxers, and of course WINE. I made a pitstop here with family to restock the liquor we’d already depleted, and I was pleased to find Pendleton whiskey in both a regular bottle size, and the minis for my train ride home. SCORE!
The service at this particular location is superb. Friendly and helpful staff and a wide selection of tasty choices.

If one’s visiting on a weekday and cannot make it to the smaller Paso wineries that are all being touted as must-​try, this BevMo’s worth a stop just to pick up some Paso wine that the other BevMo stores outside Paso might not stock, such as Brian Benson, J. Dusi, et al. These small production wineries probably will not have enough to distribute widely, but they’re available here. Other than that, it’s a very small, cramped store compared to other locations throughout California.
Staff are helpful and friendly.
