As an avid bourbon hunter, I always carve out a little time to check out local liquor stores when…read morework takes me on the road. You never know what might be sitting on a shelf. On this trip I stopped into Washington Street Liquors in Corvallis. Oregon is a control state, so selections can sometimes be predictable, but this shop had a few bottles that definitely caught my eye. Prices were right around market, maybe slightly into secondary territory on a couple bottles, but nothing outrageous for something harder to find. What stood out most was the staff. Friendly, easy to talk with, and happy to share a little insight into the local bourbon scene. That kind of conversation is always appreciated when you are visiting from out of town and trying to figure out where the good hunting spots might be. The hunt paid off. I ended up walking out with a bottle of Frey Ranch Straight Bourbon, a solid pickup and one I had been hoping to find for a while. If you are in Corvallis and enjoy the bourbon hunt, this shop is worth a stop. You never know what might be sitting on the shelf waiting for you.

Dude, look at the upsells Jessica is racking up. She was sincere and convincing, and yes, I left with two bananas, a hot cocoa and a pumpkin muffin thank you very much! Give this girl a raise, she should be managing the store the way she looks out for the bottom line!

I usually commute by bike, so that's a bigger deal, especially since it takes some cycling on less than ideal streets to get there. I recently needed some wound management supplies. On the way home, my friend stopped by Bi-Mart first. I am a big fan. They didn't have what we needed. We went by Rite-Aid knowing they are usually the most expensive. They apparently carried one of the items we needed, but they were out of stock. We did take note of the price. I waited in line to ask the pharmacist in case they had some other things in back that weren't on the shelf. They told me to go talk to the other part of the store as they just dispense medication. Another line, and I got a cold, "Nope; if it's not on the shelf we ain't got it." We were going to head out to the other Bi-Mart and Safeway next, but decided to stop at Rice's on the way. I am glad we did. My friend didn't want to stop there, but my friend's mind has now been changed. Not only did they have all the items we needed, the prices were much more affordable. Did I mention the staff is very friendly? No. I guess I didn't. Well, they are. Helpful and friendly. Even though it's out of the way, I think I'm going to tell my doctors to change all my prescriptions to Rices. If that helps keep them in business, it's a no-brainer. Small independent shop that cares about the community, unlike Rite-Aid which is a huge corporation - allegedly number 148 in the Fortune 500. Far more personable. It reminds me of growing up in the '70s. One of our neighbors was a pharmacist at an independent drug store nearby. We always used that pharmacy for the same reasons I'll always use Rice's now.

The woman at the front also is very pushy/rude and gives me a weird feeling. Unless I absolutely need some sort of international food, I steer clear of this place - and even then I'd rather go to one of the many Asian markets in town. Terrible service at this hole in the wall. Also, they've charged me $1 in the past just to use my card...? We're a couple weeks away from 2020 and you're still wanting people to use cash? Seems shady and unnecessary. On top of that, she charges me and then I had to ask "what was the extra dollar for?" - then she mentioned that they charge you a few for using a card. You should be better than this. You operate just feet away from an engineering university and extort the students with your insane mark ups and bs attitude.
