I'd like to begin by saying I've shopped at this store for years, and they have a great staff/management that have nothing to do with my 1 star review. My friend and I went to the store on 10/5/2014 at approximately 11:30am to get some beer for the upcoming football games. I had my dog with me, a 17lbs. Shih-tzu who has accompanied me to the store many times. On the way in, the dog peed a little bit on a poll outside (yes, outside) of building. An unidentified man began screaming at me "Oh yeah that's really f***ing nice having him piss all over the place!" I shrugged my shoulders and walked into the store. What was I going to do, I didn't want a fight over a tiny little squirt of dog pee. The man follows me through the door screaming, "How would you like it if I came into your house and pissed on your floor?!?" I felt kind of threatened at this point, as I had no idea who this person was. I turned and said, "Just back off man, alright?" He continued following me through the lobby into the main part of the store screaming at me. I turned and said, "Really, man? You're following me into the store over this?" I thought he was maybe some local drunk who hadn't had his booze yet or some kind of lunatic. In either case, my adrenaline is pumping at this point thinking that this person might try to attack me. He then yells amidst his ranting, "I'm the OWNER of this place! I own this whole plaza!!!" I could not believe that someone who owns a large plaza and liquor store in the community would behave like this, so I confirmed his identity as owner with one of the employees. Indeed it was him, Albert (I'll leave his last name out). I said, "Okay, I'll go buy beer elsewhere."
The guy owns several liquor stores in the state, and is menacing a customer without identifying himself over a tiny bit of dog pee outside of a building? He could've introduced himself and asked politely to not let that happen again if he had a problem, and I would've apologized and moved on. Instead he chased me into the store and made me feel like I was about to get into a physical altercation. You can all decide if you'd like to support a business owned by this man.
