EDITED REVIEW: I spoke to the owner of the store about this situation and he was such an awesome guy. He assured me that he will re-educate the manager on how to handle customers. With the way he handled the situation i am now changing my 1 star review to a 5. I know how much he cares about his business and customers and that's the way things should be handled
I had the pleasure to experience one of the most disgusting personalities from a "store manager" of this establishment. I patronize this establishment often. I was there tonight with my 21 year old son, who went shopping with me tonight. I stopped at this store before heading home, we both went in, as I have done with all my kids in the past. First issue was I asked my son to grab me a cart and as he was doing that he almost bumped into an employee as one was coming out of an isle. Thought nothing of it and then the employee said "an excuse me would be nice" so my son walked away. I go about my shopping, grabbed a few things (Arnold Palmer, Smirnoff ice (yeah I know) and these new Sunny D vodka drinks (I thought they looked good). I get to the checkout and start putting my things on the counter, guy asked for ID me thinking ummm I'm 50, I said me? He said no your son, which his wallet was out in the car. I said I'm purchasing this for me why do you need his ID, he said because you are purchasing alcohol for a minor, I said this is my stuff and he is 21 either way. He said like you are drinking that Sunny D vodka drink, I'm excuse me, isn't this a liquor store and can't i buy what i want? I said to my son go in the car, the guy rudely tells me, I'm not selling this stuff to you, now I'm getting pissed and embarrassed with other patrons now looking at me. I explain I can't lift things that are heavy I have a pinched nerve in my neck, he said that's funny nice try. Then keeps running his mouth so I am now walking out he said some nasty things and I said some nasty things back, he said I'm politely asking you to get the F out of my store. Now I am angry, I'm yelling (against my better judgement) and finally walk out. Called my husband who now goes up there to see why he refused me service and he went off on him cursing at him and everything. Not a good example of a manager. I honestly have been going here for the past 22 years, they have now lost my business and business of a lot of people I know. I never ever had this experience here. I hope that whoever is his boss honestly does something about this or this establishment will be downhill quick. No reason to treat someone like that, and not right to assume I was purchasing this stuff for a minor because of what i had in my cart. He told us that no minors can be in the store and that he can refuse service if he wants to because that's the law, which is fine but don't say to me that I'm providing the alcohol to my kids. That's pretty much discrimination to me, end of story! read more
