    a box of cereal on a kitchen counter
    Tiffany N.

    So, sometimes I get cravings for really weird things. Take last night for instance - I was dead set on having a candy soda. (That's what I call sodas that are like grape or orange or other delicious flavors.) After tandem scooter riding up and down Colfax to no avail my lovely boyfriend had the brilliant flash of Watson's. Watson's, for those of you that don't know, has totally foiled Colorado's laws about selling liquor in convenience stores with a simple door. That's right the only thing separating you from your ho-hos and High Life is a simple door in this clever liquor/convenient store. Anyway, I sauntered into the booze side and immediately saw a Welch's Grape, which was what I had initially wanted. The problem was that it was in a plastic bottle rather than glass or a can. I'm very particular with these things. As I began to fear strangulation from Nick I passed through the door to the "grocery" side. They did in fact have candy sodas in cans and so I got one. I also got a box of Count Chocula and a bag of Munchos. Because really, who else sells that stuff. I'm a sucker for novelty. Anyway, the people working here are usually friendly. The patrons are mostly iffy, but always entertaining. And I would have given them 5 stars if half of the food in the grocery section was covered in dust. Check those expiration dates when you come here!

    Watsons has been here forever and seems like they might be closing. I hope not- this place is insanely convenient.

I gave the man my information and application several times, but this time I went in to check up on things, he explained to me that he will not hire me because I am a woman. Now, I really wish that I had recorded that entire conversation, but I was so shocked that I left in tears actually. He explained to me like a child how I should apply at King Soopers because that's where they hire women I have been a customer here for years, and this man had never seemed as though he would discriminate, but I am spending money there so why would he. Either way, please cease to support this company and this man. I am not a disgruntled person or ex employee, just a person who was looking for a job only to be actually told he will not hire me because I'm a woman. Please, take these words to heart. There a several liquor stores nearby that would be a much better choice because we should not be giving our hard earned money to a company that discriminates. I am taking legal action immediately. Be kind and most of all, be aware. Many folks are struggling right now and to be turned down that way, leaving so upset, left me very aware of who I have been supporting for several years. Thanks for your time. I wish I could have left no stars at all. This one star goes to the employees which have been all men, track record for female employees is zero by the way, aside from the owner whom you can catch during the day from opening to mid afternoon, I have had wonderful service. It's too bad I wasn't able to join the team.

I've been staying at home, but was out of some of the beer I wanted to use. I went out for another errand and happened to pass by Cask and Craft. Hmmm...this sounds interesting. Plus it's a local shop, and I'm all about supporting local, particularly during this time. I pulled up Cask and Craft's website and was super happy to see the list of precautions they are taking to keep their customers safe. Some of these precautions include only 2 people in the shop at a time, use provided hand sanitizer when you enter, and even curbside pick up/delivery. Since I was sitting in front of the store, I figured I'd just go in, get what I needed, and quickly head home. I was greeted and asked to use the hand sanitizer upon entering - yes, thank you. I then explained from a distance that I was looking for a dark beer, preferably a stout. I was escorted to the back of the store and shown the fridge with all the dark beer. WOW! big selection. I had the choice of 6 packs, 4 packs, or mix and match. This was perfect for me because I needed 5 beers. I ended up selecting Jackie O's Java the Stout. When I brought up my 5 pack, the owner told me it was a great beer (one of his favorite dark beers) and that it was a solid choice. He was not wrong. This beer is awesome, and paired so well with my peanut butter cookie pairing. So good. I will definitely be back to Cask and Craft. Their shop is filled with all different types of wine, liquor, and beer. It's organized so nicely, and the shop itself has this comforting vibe when you walk in. I'm so appreciative of everything they are doing to keep customers safe and for the recommendations they give.
