Hamilton Super Buyrite

Went on our first trip to check out this relatively new business. The first impression is its still under construction, messy in the front as soon as you walk in and then a gaping garage door size hole in back wall with debris hanging from it and ceiling beyond. No attempt at all to cover it up. ALL MERCHANDISE. and shelves are covered in a layer of construction dust.
I brought this to the attention of the young man working there and his response was,“well I don’t work at this store, I work at the other one” I asked to speak to the manager and he called Chris over, I said something about all the dust and perhaps some plastic and duct tape might help. He agreed. Then when he walked away my son overheard him say to the young man… «You called me over for that?.»
Perhaps a more mature seasoned manager might have addressed the situation by having someone CLEAN UP THE MESS,!!
I dropped a fifty there, and had I known about Chris’ comments, I would have addressed his incompetence right then and there and left without a purchase. My son didn’t tell me UNTILL after we left.
There are too many other places to spend your money in Hamilton… where they actually care about customers and the way they present themselves. The prices aren’t that great anyway.

Formerly Cedar Gardens, this ancient store is being transformed into a Buy Rite. There is a location of theirs in Hopewell that might be my favorite liquor store in the area, but this location is a work in progress. I was there today and a lot of renovations are happening, So far there is an above average beer selection, average liquor choices, and the wine section was below average. Customer service was pretty good, with plenty of folks around to answer questions and direct patrons to their desired spirit. I’m being optimistic with the rating as the former business was one of my least favorite shops. I will continue to check on their progress. Is it unrealistic to hope that they grow to be as good as the Hopewell location? We shall see.
