Super annoying staff! It's such a shame that the mecca of booze in central phx is cluttered with such an obnoxious staff. Never again will I spend a penny there.
My husband and I ran in with literally 5 minutes to spare to find a $50 bottle of wine as a gift for a party we were late for. As soon as we walked in we explained our purpose to the idiot standing by the door and proceeded on our mission. The guy must have not heard the $50 part because he takes us right to a $70 bottle. My husband tasked me to grab a gift bag so I ran off. After 15 minutes I see my husband rush to the register to pay so we can hit the road. The woman working the register asked my ID even though my husband was paying. I explained I was in a hurry and left my bag in the car, but would run and get it if she could start ringing my husband. She refused. That was when it all started to go downhill. I told her that I am almost 30 and if I were some underage punk I would be going for a keg, not a $60 bottle of wine. She continued to insist I had to get my ID first. I felt my whole body heating up and my face turning red. The $%^&% called her "manager" over to ask his advice on the matter. Here we go.
This chess club reject who was clearly younger than me came over and started in with this "calm down" bulls&8t. Which really annoyed me because I wasn't even upset at that point, but now I was. Then the 40-year old virgin starts in with that I am not even allowed in the store if I am under 21. Which is great and makes sense. Like bars right? So I asked the idiot if that is the case why not card at the door? He stood there with this annoying blank stare like I was speaking Japanese to him.
So the genius asks me my birthday hoping I was slipped up. Once I responded--all of a sudden my ID was not needed and all was right with the world. I was so angry about his tone and the way I was treated I stormed out and will NEVER return and hope that every single person I know does the same. Safeway has just as good prices if not better.
