5 Stars for customer service & TRUST! On occasion, I walk around the corner to this convenience / pharmacy store out of...well, pure convenience. If I need a 6 pack of beer, I go to Alpha. Why do I go to Alpha instead of the other dozen liquor / convenience stores on Lawrence? Quite simply, because the owners are super friendly. Prices---hey, it's a convenience store, and you'll pay a tad more for "convenience."
Today, while watching a football game, I noticed that I was out of beer--oops, a sin was committed! So, being thirsty, and in desperate need of beer, I quickly walked down to Alpha. When I placed the 6 pack of beer on the counter, I soon realized that, in my rush out the door, I forgot my wallet. Oops, again! I apologized to the owner, and took the beer back to the cooler. The owner motioned at me, and said, "Go ahead and take your beer, and pay me later." I was shocked that someone, in this day and age, still has trust. Granted, he's seen me in there before, but he has NO reason to trust me.
Fifteen minutes later, I walked in with the $8 I owed the man. He smiled and thanked me. No, I thanked him---TRUSTING OWNERS!!
I will remain a faithful customer of Alpha Pharmacy. read more
