| - Let's be real. It doesn't have great selection of asian liquors, wines and spirits but the fact that it seems to have more variety of wines than the most fancy looking LCBO store on Summerhill makes me want to give this place at least 3 stars. Also, the location is very convenient because I live close-by so I personally could add one more star but since not everybody is living near-by, I should not.
The main reason I'm giving this place just two stars is that there's an old asian lady called Jenny who's working as a cashier and I think she has some attitude problem and seriously needs some (social) intelligence.
My first encounter with her was probably like a year ago. At the time, I had an expired drivers license but it wasn't just a normal expired one. Mine had a government sticker so I could use it for my identity check etc. When a government worker was attaching the sticker on the expiry date, I was told I could use it for my identity check etc. and that's why she was attaching it right on the expiry date. So, when this lady called Jenny asked me for my identity card, I confidently handed her my expired drivers license and told her that it was expired but I could use it. Maybe I should've not said that.. Maybe it was stupid of me being too honest..
She yelled, "IT'S EXPIRED?! YOU CAN'T USE IT!!" Since her purpose of checking the card was to see my age, I told her that she could still see my birth date. She went, "YOU CAN'T GIVE ME EXPIRED CARD!" I was a bit confused but collected my self quickly and replied, "Why does it matter whether it's expired since you just need to see my birth date? It clearly says my birth date on the card." At this point, she went more crazy. I think she went ballistic because I think I provided an argument she couldn't refute. Her response was, "OF COURSE IT MATTERS!!!!!" In my mind, I was like "Ummm... because....?" but I couldn't say it out loud since she was acting like a monster. I was baffled at her response but calmly opened my backpack and handed her my passport.
I visit this place quite often simply because it's very convenient for me. Since Jenny seems to work there almost every day, we get to encounter quite often. She once yelled at me to hand over a bottle of wine that I put right in front of her and a scanner because she couldn't grab the bottle herself to scan it for some reason. I was like wtf..? Her arms seem to be functioning well so I don't know. However, there was a day when we had pretty friendly conversation. Of course, she asked for my id and when I handed her my id card, she went, "You look familiar. I think I see you a lot." I laughed and replied, "yeah and despite that, you always tend to check my id haha." She went, "Maybe that's because you look young for your age." I liked how she added a bit of sarcastic tone to it because I know for a fact that I don't look young at all. I tried to be cool and replied "Thanks and have a good one Jenny."
Till to this day, despite numerous interactions with her, she still checks my id. Sure it's her job but literally zero social intelligence whatsoever. I do meditation so every time she asks for my id, I just assume she's suffering from Amnesia, gently show my id, pay it and walk off with a smile and a bottle of wine in my hand.
