So, my Mom lives in the area and I used to buy cigarettes here regularly when I visited her. I recently started using a cigarette machine and came here to buy some pipe tobacco. I asked for ANY input or recommendation for tube-cut rolling tobacco... Nothing. All the main guy (who is always and has been there for 10 years) could stammer out is "good price, good quality" so I don't care that much and just bought a 6oz bag of 'Gambler'. I used it for about 2 weeks and then found a Manufactures' COUPON EXPIRED 12/31/2013!!!
That means the bag has been Inventory since 2012! It is AT LEAST 5 YEARS OLD!!!
So I was pretty annoyed that they would not rotate Inventory and just sell a 5-year-old bag of tobacco! Even in a sealed bag, that is NOT fresh or acceptable to pay for.
I went in with my RECIEPT, the coupon and the remaining tobacco to complain and either get my $ back, or exchange it for something of equal value, or speak with a Manager... SOMETHING!
I explained very calmly and with easy-to-understand English that I would like to speak with a Manager or have her phone the Manager to ask how to proceed with GIVING ME MY MONEY BACK. ( I have no problem if you can't speak much English, but you NEED to speak enough to make rational sense in a business when confronted with a SERIOUS business decision! Especially to avoid situations like this!)
She wouldn't speak, or would just say "no manager, no call, not available" and I continued to explain that this is not an acceptable product, I want to be reimbursed with another product or my money back, and that there MUST be someone she can contact. What if the store we're robbed, or flooded, or on fire... Who would you notify???
Then the Manager SONNY(who claimed he is not the Manager and was in back listening) came from the back and got belligerently angry & offended that I wanted to simply speak with a manager about 5 year old product. He claimed I was a racist (haha) and was being threatening. I pointed out this is ALL ON CAMERA and I have done nothing aggressive or threatening or RACIST in any way!!! He got even angrier and more unprofessional as I pointed out his own Racism and his lack of Business accumen. I pointed out that the way he has handled the situation & the ensuing problem he will have when I review his business based on this interaction. And wow, I have never seen someone get so angry and nervous at the same time... He realized he was going to get this Review.
So... Do not go here. Ever. read more
