I will never go back to this place to be harassed and treated like an "untouchable". I will also…read moretell all my friends and family to never go to this place. I bought snack food here in October 2017 on a morning break. I remember it because the woman behind the counter was really pushing me to return on my "next break". I think she even told me her name - like we were "friends now" and I "wouldn't let her down". Because it felt weird (when have I ever gone to a convenience store and gotten a high pressure type sale? It doesn't happen.) I specifically didn't return. Today I went again, but I nearly instantly regretted it. I took a photo of a strawberry candy flavored for online friends who grew up in Watsonville and miss the town and what it's known for (strawberries being one). I did it "for fun", but apparently taking a photo of it makes me some sort of a criminal. I was told not to take photos so I stopped. No biggie. But it didn't end there. The guy went *on and on* saying "if that is all you are here for I'm going to have to ask you to leave". Now he is pissing me off. DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS. ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO "ALL I WAS THERE FOR". What am I? In the liquor store business trying to rip off their ideas? No. I'm on BREAK looking for CHIPS. If I were in the same business? I would do a FAR better job. I guess he didnt believe me that I was there for food. I guess it was "suspect" that I looked at all the stuff they had for sale to eat. At this point since he wouldn't stop harassing me I said I would just leave. And I did. So now I'm standing in the parking lot thinking "where can I go buy chips?" The same guy (maybe 30, tall, muscular, dark complexion) was on a phone and followed me out. It was quite the production. I didn't need a food break that bad. Now he says he wants to see my badge hanging on my keys. HELL NO. I put my badge in my pocket. He is acting really weird and I don't want some freak knowing my name. Call the police and have THEM look at my badge. I'm good with that. Him? No. He said he was on the phone with his boss (that should be reserved for a crime, just sayin.). Maybe he was lying. Who TF knows. The guy is going on and on asking me WHY I would take a photo. I told him ***more than once*** why. People like to see and talk about their home town. He wasn't getting it. I love history and enjoy making people happy by showing them pictures of their gorgeous hometown with crops sprouting up around here, or anything unique to the area like strawberries and old Victorians. Its not a crime. Last week I told the same friends "Super Max Grocery" closed down a few doors away. Why the 3rd degree? Because I'm female? Just post a clear sign and none of this would have happened. Because he was acting like I was here to rip off his "marketing strategy" (it just looked like your typical Hispanic liquor store), I made it CLEAR that my work has NOTHING to do with the grocery/liquor store business, I am not "moving in next door and trying to compete with their business". I just wanted some damn chips and a drink. I actually had to SAY this to him. Are you kidding me? Now he asks me to delete the photos in my phone and he wants to watch me do it. I deleted the photos AND DIDN'T LET HIM WATCH. I don't want a guy like him THAT close to me complete with the attitude of "I'm going to have ask you to leave". He was still going on and on. I told him !I JUST WANT LUNCH! Maybe he finally understood those words as he FINALLY left me alone. Had it gone on any longer you better believe I would have called 9-1-1. I guess now I can stand OUTSIDE and take a photo of the parking lot which has a strawberry on the sign which will make my friends happy. ..... I went to my amazing friends at Ace Hardware next door and got a chocolate milk, a Payday bar, and some hardware. I told my "friend" there what happened and he said "I'm not surprised." He said he had some sort of problem there also. He used the word subservient. There are lots of other liquor stores (ie: Manny at Aptos Village Liquors)- no need to give these people your money. He has the right to ask for no photos in his store, but he should ALSO have it clearly posted in the store to not take photos. He said there is a sign. I walked all over and didn't see ANY signs so he obviously didn't do a good enough job. I think that is a lie. I have never seen such a sign in that kind of store that sells Bud Light and Ding Dongs. His stance, insinuating that "all I'm there for was to take photos" (weird), getting on the phone, and wanting to see my badge was simply too much which IS my issue today. Keep walking. Seriously.

Many young folks in and out of the store.

Young clerk made a pricing mistake at the register, found it himself after I swiped my card, he refunded me in cash. Great honesty.
