I visited this location on April 28 in the afternoon (around 12-1 PM) at Market Center, 1232…read moreGreenbrier Parkway, Chesapeake, VA. I am an Uber driver and briefly pulled into the curbside pickup area while completing a pickup. An employee named Lucy approached me in a very aggressive and unprofessional manner. She raised her voice, pointed her finger at me, and told me I would be "banned" for parking there. While I immediately moved my vehicle once informed of the policy, the way she communicated was very confrontational and felt threatening. Afterward, I asked to speak with a manager about the interaction. I was directed inside, where I spoke with a manager who confirmed the curbside policy regarding Uber drivers. My concern was not the policy itself, but the employee's tone, body language, and overall behavior. I also noticed that shortly after this interaction, a white male driver pulled into the same curbside area and did not appear to receive the same treatment or confrontation. As a Black woman, this raised concern for me and left me feeling uncomfortable about whether there may have been unequal or biased treatment in how the situation was handled. I am also a regular customer at Total Wine & More, and I was disappointed by this experience. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and addressed appropriately so all customers and drivers are treated with respect and consistency.

The smell upon entry is usually overwhelmingly fishy but passes once you've been in there a while. I frequent this location and recently saw management fuss at an employee in front of customers it was inappropriate timing. I made sure to tell Paul he was doing a great job - because he was! Overall the staff is attentive especially Jordan. I stop in often for dinner items and she's always at self checkout willing to lend a helping hand. Something tends to malfunction with the register often when I go and she can anticipate the issue before it happens and helps resolve it quickly. She's pleasant patient and greets the customers with a warm smile.

The produce section is especially nice with both the selection and quality of their produce. This is definitely my go to place for groceries!

I felt at home and with great friends! There were local wineries from all over the state as well as an international area. Food trucks and local vendors were there to give me a break from the delicious tastings. And the live band (didn't catch the name) was amazing and kept the mood up throughout the dreary weather. I'm looking forward to next year's festival and thinking about getting a tent in case of rain again. Overall, glad we took a chance and marking our calendars for the next one!

I would have never found this one if it hadn't been for Yelp Events! Thanks to whoever posted it!…read more This was definitely a great girls day out. We opted for the VIP tickets because in my wine expo/tasting experience, it is worth the extra cost. The VIP room had 3 food pairings throughout the event. This is always nice because I always learn something from talking to the wine makers or Sommeliers. For instance, I learned that Riesling and BBQ pairs well together. Mind Blown! But you had to be in the VIP room to try and then you'll see why it works. The VIP room also had unlimited cheese, fruits, and crackers. You can't been that. If you are tasting over 100+ wines you will need all the snacks you can get. If it wren't for the VIP room, you would have had to bring your own snacks OR buy it at the concession stand, which adds up. Needless to say I am always an advocate of going to this things with the VIP tickets or serious coordination with other people to bring your own food and get in on a table. Which is like $400 for 8 people, however if planned accordingly it could be a lot fun. Wine was not the only thing here! They had all sorts of jewelry, chocolates (liquored chocolates!) and Olive Oil tastings. So..if you needed a break from the wine, there were other things to taste. I was so glad to see some of my favorite Wineries there, as well as meet new favorites. Will definitely look for it next year!

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the various products. It can get hectic during the special allocation drops because of the way they handle things. People start lining up very early on drop day, so either get there early or be prepared to wait in a long line. That goes for everyone, it doesn't matter if you're the town drunk just looking to pick up a pint of your favorite rot gut booze, the line starts way back there... too harsh? You wouldn't believe some of the things I've seen on drop day.

The store is located off Battlefield Blvd. you must enter Sams Club and it's a side small strip. It's easy to overlook. Customers will enjoy plenty of parking. The lot was debris free as the walk up on my visits. I found a few harder to find bottles here and was pleased. The store is clean and organized. The staff meh. Checkouts were professional just not as friendly as I would hope for. I would return to this location for the right products, but since it's not close to my house I would not be a regular.

The store was super organized and the ladies were eagerly waiting to assist those that entered the store. I even witnessed an employee come from behind the counter to assist a customer looking for a particular spirit. I thought to myself, oh wow, this was over the top customer service. I have been in places before, and the employee just yells the aisle or points in the direction of the item. So this was refreshing to see. I needed help and the associate helped me :) I was looking for the miniature section and found what I needed. I would definitely recommend you check out this location. It's not super big inside, but you are sure to find something you like. It's in a great location as well. Near eateries and grocery shopping. I believe a gas station is nearby too. Great spot!

However the area is sketch. I visited them during the day and would not do so after dark. The lot is huge and overall pretty clean with debris on the peripheral area. Signage is good on the building which can be seen from the road. I was greeted once I entered the store and asked if I was looking for something. This was super and I did get help locating a Knob Creek 12 year bottle of bourbon, The store is spread out and clean. A lot of bare shelves was odd. The bourbon section was nice size but missing items. That's also odd when they got their truck same day. The store is split between the liquor store and a regional ABC office. I'm not exactly sure what they do as HQ is in Richmond. Checkout was smooth on my card and a touch less transaction. The staff had mask and cleaned the area before I was served. Not a store I would most likely return to. I just did not feel comfortable with the surrounding area.

The shopping center appears to be thriving with grocery anchor Harris Teeter. Spaces are nearby, but not directly in front. Curbside is offered by arranging ahead. The store is on the smaller floor plan and very compact. The bourbon area takes up a full wall. The selection was 5 star with several hard to find rare bourbons such as EH Taylor, Blanton's and Blade & Bow 22 year that's a whopping $470 bottle. Three checkouts are up front with two operational. They had an orderly line when opening. No issues with my card being processed and the cashier was friendly enough but busy with a line 10 back. This store is not close to my home, so I most likely will not return here for my booze. Otherwise it's ok, nothing special. An A-OK from me. 3.5 rounding down as the store floor space is limited.

It appeared they were short staffed, who isn't these days. I found what I was looking for in a Knob Creek 12 year and a EH Taylor Small Batch. The manager checked me out and was friendly.

During the 10 minutes I was in the store I watched this man be very disrespectful to the employees and customers. He was telling the employees to "Just shut up and do what I say." I must've heard him tell the two guys working the registers to "shut up" at least five times.... they weren't even saying anything in the first place! He was also just shouting orders at the customers entering the store. The store was busy because it was 10 minutes before they closed so Mickey was trying to get everyone out of the store so he could close up. Around 6:55 he told the 2 men working the registers , as well as the 4 or 5 people waiting outside that they would be the last customers of the day. A younger black woman that was waiting outside didn't have a mask, so he told her that she couldn't come in. At 6:58 - About 3 minutes after he stated that there would be no other customers, a middle aged white man approached the door and said "All I need is 1 bottle of Jack Daniels" and pretty much begged to be let it in. **THIS GUY DID NOT HAVE A MASK AND MICKEY LET HIM RIGHT IN- NO QUESTIONS ASKED.** As the man entered the store, the younger black woman that Mickey denied entry to made a comment about how she was not let it because she didn't have a mask - just 3 minutes earlier. Mickey reluctantly let her in the store. She told him that what he did was not fair. I agree with her. It seemed blatantly racist. All of the customers in the store also agreed. Once the other customer started to chime in , Mickey started to say , "Oh, here we go again...." That guy literally didn't see anything wrong with what he did. This is ridiculous and needs to be addressed immediately.
