Horrible store!!!!!! I am 31, I honestly told the female clerk that I had drank a few drinks before I went there to buy a bottle of liquor. I admit I had about 4 beers before I went in but was not slurring and sound of mind. The woman at the register then said she can not sell me alcohol because my eyes were a little red (by the way I have very bad seasonal allergies and ten minutes outside in certain areas causes my eyes to water and become red). When I questioned why, she stopped talking and ignored me all together but my payment already went through. I then had to sit there and be embarrassed and refused service while I was refunded. If there is a policy that somehow makes this woman's behaviour acceptable, I recommend the store take a serious look at their policies and or hiring practices. Manitoba liquor commission should hire people who do not make judgements based on the way someone looks and just do their jobs. Regardless of what judgements you make about me I believe service should be the same for everyone!! I felt that I was mistreated and pre judged and I do not believe I was treated in a fair and just manner!!
By the way this happened ten minutes ago so if you believe the clerk, I find it odd that I can articulate my thoughts in a clear and concise manner but I am somehow deemed unacceptable enough to legally buy alcohol!! I am pissed off and I will buy my liquor in the city before heading out to the cabin from now on!!! read more
