    Owner/manager refused me service because somebody who had been in the store before me had asked to…read morepurchase something similar with an expired ID, or so the guy said. I did have ID, and a non-expired one and was not with the person so there was clearly no legal reason to do this, but the store owner claimed it was "his right" to refuse me service. To be clear, there was no indication that this person was even underage, yet I was refused service. I hope to have this businesses liquor license revoked from the town of deerfield so somebody willing to sell liquor to customers with valid ID can instead be licensed. Avoid.

    It was traumatic, disturbing, and unprofessional to the point of bordering on assault, and I…read moreconsidered calling the cops. I went to this store with my tween daughter (I am a 56-year-old mother) to purchase a small bottle of wine and a bottle of hard cider to cook French onion soup. My fourteen-year-old daughter is interested in learning languages and saw a bottle at the register with French on it; she touched it and asked me what it was out of curiosity. When it came time to pay, the (frankly scary and rude) young male cashier asked for her ID. I was dumbfounded and explained she was my daughter, confirmed that she was a minor and that the (small) purchase was for me to make soup. I laughed playfully, thinking it was an obvious misunderstanding and that I could make my purchase, but instead, he went to locate the manager and did not return. On my own, I found the manager and explained the scenario, and she told me unless I could produce an ID saying my daughter was twenty-one, they would have to ask me to leave and would not sell to me. I pointed out that nowhere in the store was a sign informing parents that if their child touched a bottle, the customer would be asked to leave if they could not prove that the child was 21. She stated that it was unnecessary to post this and that it is apparent children should not "touch" a bottle (I'm thinking of all the times at Whole Foods and the Coop when my kid helped me unload a shopping cart, and we were not harassed or treated this way). I expressed dismay and said that I would not shop there and that I would tell others in the community of this, to which the male cashier screamed "F-ck Off" at me (in front of a line of customers) as my daughter and I left the store. My daughter was so upset and traumatized by this she burst into tears in the car. I cannot emphasize enough how abusive this experience felt and how threatened I felt as a single (older professional mother) with a young adolescent daughter by my side. Please do not patronize this store and let others know of this experience. There was absolutely no need for either the manager or her staff to treat us this way; it was an abuse of (petty) power directed at women. PLEASE NOTE: I have since talked with the Deerfield police as this bordered on feeling like harassment or discriminating and if you have had a similar experience (as others have, just look at Yelp) you can file a complaint with the Massgov site page for the ABCC (alcohol beverage and control commission) and with the town of Deerfield Selectboard.

    I left a Christmas purchase behind. I called and the woman who answered my call went and over…read morebeyond to help me out. She listened to my hysterical call ( my opinion) she checked the camera's ,took the time to call me back!!! We set up a time to pick up my purchase. She set my mind at ease. Holiday shopping in itself is stressful ....never mind leaving a purchase behind!!! They are located in the heart of 5 Colleges and I was treated with so much RESPECT. Thank you LIQUORS 44!!!!!

    Worst customer service I've encountered in a long time. This evening they were offering free…read moresamples of various beverages at four stations. Two of the servers ignored me. Another one asked if she was in my way, but didn't offer me any sample. I took care of some other business and then went back to them: "Are you offering samples?" "Yes." "Well, may I try something?" It was like pulling teeth. The fourth server had four bottles of wine to sample. When I approached, she was talking with two young adults. When she finished speaking, I asked her what she was offering. She said something like, "I'll get to you next." Then she made me STAND THERE while she served another variety of wine to the two young women and told them all about it. Well, I did not stand there for long. What kind of a server can't give samples to more than one party at a time? The only explanation I can think of is that they had been instructed to target younger customers and ignore older ones like me. In which case I'll be happy to take my business elsewhere.
