Made a good size liquor purchase very recently. I immediately noticed a different (negative) vibe the second I walked into the store, compared to the previous Asian owner who was great with helping me sort through various bottle brands. He had genuinely friendly customer service. This visit, there were two white males behind the counter talking and joking very loud like it was a rowdy bar. Very distracting and ignorant. I barely received a hello or acknowledgement upon waking in. It was more of an after thought and felt forced. Arrogant and cocky was their general attitude. The previous owner, whom I purchased from several times over the past 6 months, was genuinely friendly and much more professional. They'd even carry my box of liquor to my car when I purchased 6 or more bottles of liquor. These two knuckleheads seemed to be more in love with their macho Texas manhood and smart a** remarks, than genuine customer service. I bought a box full of booze and never was asked if I needed help carrying it to my truck. Store was empty. I first thought the asian owner hired another shift for the evening. Then I realized he may have sold the business to these two clowns. Checked Google, and it confirms a new ownership seems to have occurred in March 2026.
Looks like I am gonna be going back to A1 or somewhere else. read more
