Lucky that their are more lower priced places but sucks that they are further away but the customer service and services available make it worth going to...a real 1 Stop for everything Gas & Markey

However, most liquor stores are far behind in carrying good cachaca so I won't hold it against them. The dude at the cash register is a complete and total hoot. I love people with personality that appear to love their job or at least pretend that they do. He made me laugh and that goes a long way in my book. If you need ANYTHING in Ridgecrest, come here. I bet you'll even find something you don't need but can't live without...

Friendly Liquor Store =Not friendly at all!…read more I wanted to put this out there because I know there are plenty of people who want to be treated with respect when going into a store to purchase gas or even beverages/food. I just got back from the worst convenient store experience of my life at Friendly Liquor Store. I had just bought gas at the pump & went inside to buy fountain sodas. As I went to fill up the soda I could tell it was out of carbonation, so I tasted the soda & sure enough it tasted bad. I dumped it to get a different soda & the guy at the register started getting rude with me & came over to me to tell me there is nothing wrong with the soda. He even pressed it & fizz just poured out & he even then said nothing was wrong with it! He continued to argue with me, which I was astounded by how rude this man was to a customer so I argued right back with him that I have worked in food service & know when it's time to change the soda out. It was amazing how quickly he became quiet after I told him that. I have never been to this store but now I will never do business there ever again! I am just trying to save others from an awful experience like I had, & I paid for awful tasting sodas on top of that. I feel the public should be aware of local stores that cause issues to customers. (Giving it a 1 star is even being generous...I will spread the word that this store is awful.)
