Shock and awe. I've…read morebeen doing the dirty around these parts for a little over a year now and it wasn't until just a few weeks ago that I finally made the trip in to what looks like some cruddy, run-down, sad-sad, liquor store in a mostly vacant and/or abandoned Palatine strip mall and I was blown away with a selection of sauces that would put a smirk on even a novice boozehound and/or liquor-pig. Shame.On.Me. I'll just say this up front, I don't know jack sh*t about wine. It's not really my thing, and I'm happy just going with whatever bottle has the best artwork and still manages to remain nominally priced. Basically, they might have a great or crappy wine selection, but I couldn't tell you. They had that Barefoot stuff, though... that's the classy one, right? Where this place shines is fo sho its beer selection. It's not huge, but they carry a lot of pretty rare stuff and a bunch of the stuff the other big box booze stores don't have. They do set limits on certain things, like maximum 2 per person on some bottle, but honestly, I'm a sucker for supply and demand so that kind of thing really excites me. Their selection is always changing and they're open later than any of the other bottled booze purveyors in this area. It's probably not a destination place, but if you're within a 12-15 minute range of here, it's worth popping over for a peak at their products.

I don't know if anyone's reading reviews of liquor stores, but I want to say nice things about Mr…read more A's, because I love buying booze here. Sometimes you go into a liquor store and it's just grim, grim, grim, with creepy lighting, dusty shelves, and cashiers that look like they want to die and they wish you were dead too. Mr. A's is the total OPPOSITE. It's clean, has a great selection of alcohol, mixers, and snacks, and yeah, I guess the lighting isn't creepy because I've never really noticed it? I typically just see two employees here, one of whom I think might be the Mr. A! He is extremely warm and friendly and always smiling. The second man is a little more reserved but always very nice and polite. There is this adorable little black dog one of them has, that's kind of the store mascot it seems. There are rather professional looking photos of him/her around the store, greeting customers and making recommendations. I think that's a nice touch. I wish the actual dog could be in the store-how awesome would it be to have a little pooch helping you make a wine selection? Only thing that would make the place better, in my opinion.

The manger asked me and my friend to leave and we left without and issue, but we laughed which was a huge mistake because the little guy in the front told us "if you're going to laugh don't come back" to which I responded "it's not that serious" and he made a gesture for us to leave. Clearly mad to be working on a Sunday night. Very unprofessional

So I decided to look at the bourbons as I was looking for a sweeter taste vs a smoky flavor. As I was walking around, nothing really jumped at me so I decided to roam the store. Then out of nowhere, a bourbon was on a counter that I really like and have been meaning to purchase and hard to find. Typically, it generally flies off the shelves due to its nice cost, and great flavors. It has that nice blend of caramel and honey. I was able to grab it and the staff and I spoke about the bottles for a little while. The staff is knowledgeable and are happy to answer any questions. Prices are great and it is a one stop shop of all your needs. I highly recommend this location as they are very nice and welcoming.

I had hoped to find a specific bourbon, but they didn't carry it. As I looked around, it dawned on me that Papa's is more of a convenience store that carries liquors, beer, and wine. Had I known that before going in, I may have gone elsewhere. Since by name, they are a liquor store, I am comparing them to other liquor stores I visit and unfortunately, they don't hold a candle to many of them. But if you need something quick and easy, this would be a fair place to get what you need.

The staff here exist for zero reasons. They are rude, they're not helpful, they are in a rush to get you out of the store and don't care if questions are answered or if the coil fits. This is the third and final time I am charging these guys back. I've found a new store that's up the road and has real customer service. I mean actual services of vaporizers. This dude took my tank apart, understood it slowly, rebuilt it, found the proper coil while I was basically freaking out about how much money I lost on today and then came out and said "you know what. Here's the CORRECT coils. I finally found them! And I'll give a slight price cut for all the troubles of the day." This is how customer RETENTION works. You can't retain customers with just low prices. Low prices alone are how Aldi has churn. This whole store is all about churn. They don't care about you as a person. They don't care about you even as a valued customer. Many places it's like "greetings valued customer how can I help you" Here? As soon as you walk in it feels like I'm invading on someone's party. Two men angry and elderly who act like they'd rather be at home than running a vape store. Then bloody retire! If you bloody old kodgers don't want real work like an occasional challenging "let's properly fit this tank with a coil" case then you don't belong in the vape industry. Lots of people are new or returning to vaporizers due to high cannabis prices. Not everyone knows all of the 2025 tanks vs the 2017 breeds I was once experienced with. I hate to admit it but I am a noob when it comes to the vape technical side. I can put on a mean vape show with my clouds and the cashier at the new store even invited me to show inside of his shop! Not EVER did I get invited to show inside of LC Smoke. LC Smoke needs to be taken off of the map by the government. This store is legit dangerous. They didn't even check my ID. Failure to check ID is a serious breach of regulatory law and can result in dissolution of the business. This store is incorporated under an Al Moqeet to my records. I will be in contact with county prosecutors.

Went there to buy one thing, mind you I knew I could buy it online for $44.95 + free shipping but I felt like supporting a local business.... JOKES ON ME! Get to the store and they have the exact item marked at $94.99. I explain the situation to the guy working, who clearly doesn't care. He could've marked up the price $15-20 and I would've bought, however a $50 markup is ridiculous. Just lost any future business from myself and anyone else I can warm about this trash hole. Ps. I bought the item for $44.95 online right from the parking lot, so enjoy losing that sale!
