| - The selection is good, the prices are pretty good. On major liquor brands, you can often find better prices at your grocery store. For specialty wines and beers, they are better priced than Whole Foods but similar to Lee's. Their strength is definitely their selection across all alcohol types. If you need to buy liquor, beer, and wine, it's a nice one-stop shop that offers some different things than Lee's. The service is where things start to fall apart.
It seems the only knowledgeable people on the staff are the management. Ask the regular floor staff a question and usually they are clueless unless the answer involves generalities like "the beer is over there." Even the management has problems with answering questions about upcoming releases, but at least they know something about the stock.
Also, they don't restock after they close or before they open, they restock during the lunch-break rush. They block off whole aisles and don't move even when it's obvious you are trying to get to something. During the restock, the general opinion of the staff seems to be that the customers need to get out of their way and they don't make any attempt to get around their customers.
While it is nice to have an alternative to Lee's and they do have a wide selection, it would be nice if they took the time to educate their staff on how to treat customers and some basics of alcohol.
