I have been visiting this store for 6 yrs because its minutes from my home. Multiple times I have been buying $200-300 in groceries and I am stopped from buying alcohol if my teenage children are with me. I always have to put it back and buy from another store- but when I ask why others with smaller children can purchase alcohol they say mine is a third party sale. I don't understand that! I am almost 40 and my 15 and 19 year old is not here to buy alcohol- they are here to help with groceries and I can buy what I want, how is that third party?
Tonight my 30 year old niece was turned down because my 15 year old daughter was with her. When I went back to the store to try to explain I was told that since I have now identified myself as my daughter's mother I am not allowed to purchase alcohol ANYTIME they come in with me. The manager Deleena threatened to call the police on me because I was upset - I was trying to express that I feel this "policy" is getting out of hand - and I was told none of us can come back for 24hrs for anything at all. That is just insane! This has happened 8 or 9 times over the years and 5-6 times just recently - I would say we aren't going back but it's pretty obvious we aren't welcome there anymore...
