I just had the worst encounter at Harvard Liquor. I just moved into the neighborhood nearby and popped in to check out the wine selection. I'm usually pretty friendly and chatty with strangers so I said hello, then made a little joke about how they probably don't sell much wine (because they are directly across from TU, so I imagine it's more like beer and liquor sales.) The man behind the counter stood up and told me I didn't have to be rude, and to go ahead and go, and was very short with me. I asked for clarification because I was confused. He told me I "could have kept that to myself." He appeared visibly intoxicated and was aggressive. It was 6:30 pm on a Monday (today).
I'm very confused by the encounter and also disappointed, as I would have loved to pop into my closest liquor store to pick up beer or wine on occasion, but I will not be returning to Harvard Liquor. read more
