As a mom and grandmother I really appreciate that. I'm not sure about the owner guy. I think his name Flapafloss. I've only interacted with him once. He didn't seem very friendly. He seemed guarded, and a little cranky. Maybe he just doesn't like white people? Maybe he just needed a nap. I dunno.. just try to go when Michelle is working there. She's a breath of fresh air.

This is really important and I hope the public takes the time to read this for their own safety…read more I was just severely harassed, degraded and feared for my personal safety inside this establishment perpetuated by the man behind the counter. I'm not sure if he is the owner or the employee. My husband has been coming to this liquor store for well over a decade. I have come in a few times for a soda or other random food item and have never had a bad experience until today. I was in the area and decided to stop in to cash my lottery tickets and purchase new lottery tickets with my winnings. I waited patiently in line. Right before it was my turn, the clerk answered a phone call. I waited for 30 seconds or so to be polite and let him finish his call. He motioned for me to hand him my tickets so I figured perhaps his call would continue and he wanted to keep the line moving. I told him I should have $4 each of winnings on the tickets totaling $8 in all. He ran the tickets and said "$8" I handed him my new lottery ticket numbers and he said I owed $2. Here's where things got crazy and unreasonable. He was on the phone this whole time. I told him I had miscalculated and made a mistake and I only wanted to buy $8 of new lottery tickets with my winnings. He immediately became enraged and said he could not cancel the transaction. I told him I did not have $2 cash and didn't understand why he couldn't cancel the transaction and rerun my request. He became enraged further and raising his voice saying over and over that he could not cancel the transaction. I stayed very calm while he ranted and raved about how "everyone knows this." He slammed his hands down on the counter and this is when I really feared for my safety. He looked as though he was ready to physically assault me over this simple misunderstanding. At some point during this scary encounter, he hung up the phone. I asked if I could use my debit card to pay for the additional $2 since he could not "cancel the transaction." The entire time I was respectful, addressing him as "sir" and trying my best to stay calm in this frightening situation. Eventually he said I could run my card for $2.50 for the money owed for the new lottery tickets. He was beyond disrespectful and when I informed my family was long time customers of his establishment he said "I don't care. Don't come here next time/again." I felt very threatened at this point. Here's the bottom line. I don't play the lotto on a regular basis. I am unaware of the rules of cancellation for their equipment/machines. He should have explained the rule in a calm matter instead of immediately escalating the situation by yelling and throwing a fit. I would have and did happily pay for the additional monies owed (+ a .50 cent fee) because I understood he could not cancel the transaction. He was very angry I kept asking him why we couldn't cancel the transaction. All he had to do was communicate in a calm, non-threatening manner that he was not permitted to do that for X reason. I believe this person is dangerous if he becomes so unhinged at such a small misunderstanding. I was so shooken up over his behavior towards me that I did report this incident to the Escondido Police Department. Maybe it's because I'm a woman. Maybe he's just having a bad day. None of those circumstances excuse this belligerent, confrontational and disrespectful behavior towards me. For the safety of yourself and those you care about, I would STRONGLY suggest you do not visit this liquor store. We will no longer be supporting this abusive company.

It took peak resistance for me not to pet it and be its friend. I was greeted, and asked if I needed any assistance while I was looking for a good gift for my brother more than a couple of times. After finding the winning bottle, I chose to look around see what other things they had to offer. I'm glad they have a larger selection of IPAs than hard seltzers. Even if I don't get something for myself, I like seeing that they give local breweries a chance to get their name out there

Then the owner has his large van blocking any pathway to get into the store, so you have to walk or will your self over the speed bumps, I did park in the entrance however, there was a sufficient amount of space for people to go in and out. However, he came out and told me what I was doing was wrong. I told him my friend had scoliosis she could not walk. Did he not see her in the store, he said no. A few minutes later she comes walking out her body is twisted. I look at him and I say do you see sir this is why am parked here. He looks at me and says I don't see her. I don't see her at all and I don't care, I look at it when I say your handicap parking is too far away. You should care about these people and he said I don't care, new owners, disgraceful and rude. I'm guessing all of the kind comments are fake.
