1 Liquors

DO NOT COME HERE! People in here will discriminate and will refuse to serve you. I gave the old man my ID and he bent it like no other and refused to scan my ID when I asked him to. It was legitimate I am 21 going 22. Unbelievable customer service. What an idiot he’s losing business if he’s going to conduct it that way.

Came here to buy some beer and was surprised at the limited selection. This place definitely caters to the college student, but I was shocked at how they had been selling beer that was well past its Good by date (Which is usually around 110 – 120 days). I asked the staff members about it and they all played dumb. One of them went to check the inventory for some non-​expired beer and came back empty. I’d make the walk across the street to the other stores and save yourself the misery. The prices here were also high for the beer they were selling.

I’ve been in here to buy on multiple occasions and I’ve been carded the first few times and then not anymore because I’ve been a returning customer and most of the staff recognize me. Overall the staff were generally nice.
But just tonight, I went in to buy a six pack and I was carded by a staff member (man with a brown hair mullet and always wears a cap) that obviously recognized me because I have bought from him before. Now, I have no problem showing ID, it’s not a big deal. But as I was pulling out my ID, I decided to just make a light comment saying «I’ve bought from you before, you don’t recognize me?» And the guy blew up.
He basically told me off about how I just royally pissed him off while he’s trying to do his job. It’s not like I wasn’t going to show my ID or that I was offended that he asked… All I was trying to do was make small talk and possibly establish a cordial relationship with the guy because we’ve seen each other before. But he went on and on about how I was being a dick and what I said was something that completely pissed him off.
I’m not entirely sure what I said that would elicit such a negative response, but even if he was irked by it, there were dozens of better ways to handle the situation. Perhaps politely saying it’s policy to card everybody that looks under 35 or just admitting he doesn’t remember me. I wouldn’t have been offended. But I can safely say I will no longer be returning and will be taking the extra 2 minutes to walk across the street to CP Liquors to make my purchases from now on.
Maybe the guy was having a bad day, but you honestly can’t talk to customers like that. It’s unacceptable and highly unprofessional. I know it’s a college town but come on. If you expect to run a well respected establishment, you have to treat your customers with respect. No matter who they are.

Not the best prices or selection but the delivery service is great. If you live off campus and need a delivery it is very convenient and relatively fast– I used to order all the time and it came typically within a half hour to 40 minutes. They rip you off though with the delivery charge and then tip on top of that. Still, it’s a great convenience.
With all The View apartments built around the place now, its even more convenient for those residents. I am jealous. They have a liquor store practically in their lobby…
