    I wanted to stock up on a couple of spirits for Thanksgiving. They had a "sale" on Balcones Baby…read moreBlue 1.75 liter for $40. Eight dollars off. Good stuff. There was a manager at the door yelling at people about how they must traverse the insane labyrinth of the check-out line, which incomprehensibly forces you to go all the way to the back of the store and avoid closed off aisles etc. I asked the "manager" directing traffic about the sale on the Baby Blue because the 1.75 liter was according to the sale even cheaper than the 750 ml. bottle. She glared at me and said nothing. She called one of the male employees (the men are the only polite and helpful people in the shop), and he checked and double-checked his computer and assured me - politely and kindly - that the sale price was $40 for 1.75 liter of Baby Blue. I had several Thanksgiving recipes that I wanted to use bourbon for so I picked it up at that sale price. I withstood the women manager telling me where the line was supposed to start and then I came to the line of cashiers. All women. Normally in a place where they take your money they are cheerful and welcome you to their cash register. "Over here, I am open!" This did not happen. Three women on the registers and not a one of them looked up. I went to the first available assuming that they were just engaged in other things. "Is this register open?" I cheerfully asked. I was reaching for my wallet but my wife was with me and was paying attention and she later told me that the woman at the register rolled her eyes in an extremely rude way. She did not say a word to me as I checked out. I have never been treated more rudely in a shop. Anywhere. My wife could not believe what a b**ch the cashier was to me. She was all painted up in multiple pounds of make-up and three feet long eyelashes but she was totally hateful. She actually hated the people whose hard-earned money paid her salary. Like all of the women who work at Specs Angleton. And here's the kicker: the rude eye-rolling woman actually charged me ten dollars OVER the sales price for the bottle of Balcones. Even MORE than the non-sales price. I only noticed it when I was home, more than 30 minutes away from the store and not about to make another trip out there. The normal price was $48. The sale price was $40. She charged me $50. The female staff at Spec's Angleton literally stole from me because they for some reason resented me as a customer. They hate men? Never go there. Especially if you are a man. I'll never go back.

    this specs service used to be great. The help there now is lazy rather stand around up front than…read morehelp anyone. ask for help at the cooler was told go ask up front i am eating lunch at 3 in the afternoon.So go up front and ask and get the roll the eyes treatment i said if its a bother dont bother.wow what happened to this store was always Great to go into.

    My boyfriend and I where headed to the beach and always stop here at this liquor store normally…read morethey are super nice people and are very helpful ... well not today I guess they just had a bad day or somthing because my bf and I went in there got a few different things to drink and I saw this cute Chinese's fan and it's only $5 so I got it I got to choose between three and I told him the pink one but I got the red one and just didn't say anything after about an hour of looking at it I really wanted the pink one I had not taken the tag off at all or messed with it in anyways so I went back and tried to exchange it because it's not alcohol and it's definitely just somthing they buy hole sale and sell on the side so I thought you know no big deal well after asking the two men working there lied to me and said it's a TABC (Texas alcoholic beverage commission) law and he couldn't do it I was like no this is not the Texas "Chinese fan and wholesale products commission" but still this little old man threw a fit and wouldn't let me exchange it then I asked the manager he also lied and said it's a law it's not lol they definitely took me for some dumb girl I don't know why they made such a hassle over a little fan even my bf came in and talked to them and they still said no and acted out. Dont go here if your younger they'll lie to you and take your money if they can charge you extra they will ...

    Happy to see employees are masking to keep customers safe. Convenient location to our Airbnb.read more
