They literally make you show your driver's license to be able to use a credit or debit card. If the…read morename on the card does not match your license, they will not sell to you. What if you're using a nameless prepaid card (like from a tax refund) or you're using your spouse's card etc. From a legal standpoint, in NC a business can't refuse a transaction if the card is signed on the back. And look, I understand there are criminals out there that steal credit/debit cards. However, that doesn't give this business to treat normal customers as such. The next time I go into this store, I'm going to have my phone out recording. When I get refused service for trying using my wife's debit card (which is a joint account with my name on it), I will file a lawsuit. Whenever I win, every employee following this policy will be out of a job. And if the store manager is enforcing this, I will see to it, that she will get fired too.

As a plus, the Notorious PIG BBQ truck (which rocks) is often parked there. On the minus side, they charge you an extra 10 cents per gallon if you use a credit card for fuel. I both literally and figuratively hate being nickeled and dimed at a gas station.

We stopped by while sightseeing on our way to Cherokee. Nice little store in a strip mall of other…read moresmall local vendors. Family tried the coffee n mocha options. After a sip i could detect rich tones of earthy dark cacao, coffee beans was sharp n well balanced with an under tone of cinnamon. That was one hell of a cup! Heavenly made by the sweetest store owner. I went a "Bee root" it was a honey n pineapple fermented drink. Forgot to take a pic. It was very tarty n made my stomach very happy. I was recommended to try the cookies the owner makes n i always go for Ginger types. Had the Ginger n Cinnamon one. I didn't try it, till the next day that I found it hidden in my jacket lol O_o My god! It is sooo delicious! U can taste the ginger n cinnamon off the bat! I love them like that. Perfectly pair with something bitter like chocolate or coffee works best! Had it for breakfast. Family found well priced vitamins n Alternative medicine. They got everything from cbd, skin, body n mind care. Among the other things. Nice little spot to stop by. I highly recommend the store n implore you to try her coffee! It's one magically earthy cup of joy.
