I have been a regular Grand Express Market customer for years spending $150+ per month. The two…read moreolder men are quiet, but pleasant and efficient. The only two times I've been overcharged is when the young man rang up my purchase. Yesterday, the young man rang up my carton of cigarettes PLUS a single pack. I received only the carton. I asked him three times to reverse the charge for single pack. He laughed and brushed me off, but he did not remove it. I called them repeatedly but no one answers the phone. It's only $15, but it is theft, so I'll be spending my money elsewhere. Maybe they don't care about losing regular customers.

I got off the AC#96, which is across the street from this business. The last time I bought some…read moresnack from here was several years ago. The cashier had a scowl on his face and wasn't friendly. It took me quite some time to return. I walked by this store plenty of times, refusing to patronize the business. Earlier I decided to stop in for a brief visit to purchase a bottle water before heading home. Home is about 3.5 blocks away. This time the cashier was a different person. He was okay. At least he didn't have a scowl and was courteous. It's a hit or miss in my book.

This liquor store…read moreis the latest open in the area and shares a wall with The Ruby Room so of course there are always more than a few drunks "shopping" there. And last night was no exception. As my puppy and I approached along 14th street I could see 3 extremely drunk thuggish types urinating in unison on the wall and sidewalk with no attempt to hide their jewels. I slowed my walk to a tip toe hoping they'd hurry up and finish so I wouldn't have to deal with it as I walked past. 2 of the 3 finished but one of them was a marathon pisser and no matter how slow I moved I was getting closer. At long last he finished and began zipping up just as I walked past him into the entrance of the store. He stopped buttoning up, grabbed my arm and said "yo look, come here and talk to me for a min" YUCK!!!! I've now been pulled cloese enough that both my dog and my feet are in a piss puddle. WTF!!! I freaked, told him how nasty he was much to the delighted humor of his friends, glared at the employee who was outside smoking, watching the whole thing happen without making any attempt to stop it, I gave them 2 stars for their late night hours and for the nice super young cashier that works late most nights. He's always nice and polite to me. But they need to get the people that hang out there under some control because some variation of this event happens every time I go there, whether or not my boyfriend is with me.

Oh, HAAAAAYYY! Here's my neighborhood lika sto'!…read more I've been coming here since 1995. They've changed owners since then. No more Tina and her brood of 50 children getting hit by Fed Ex trucks (no lie!). Just Mo and his cohorts holding down the fort and keeping the riff raff in check. Don't act a fool, though. They're armed and will EFF you up! See that little window upstairs looking over the cash register? That's where they sit and keep watch in case anyone tries to act funny or rob them. I hope I'm not there if there's ever a shoot out, that's all I'm sayin'...Not for the faint of heart. But it's a neighborhood store. My neighborhood. Mo is awesome. If they don't have something you ask for, the next time you come in it will be there. Seriously. He got Cappuccino It's Its and Hot and Spicy pork rinds just for me. How can you not love that? Don't mind the dealers and hobos, it's just South Berkeley, after all. You do know to hit the ground if you ever hear gunshots, right? Good. You'll be just fine.

I always feel welcome and I appreciate them very much. I'd personally like to see a little more organic, eco-friendly stuff, but I'm sure they know what their main regular customers really want. They do often have organic wine. There was some rough activity there sometimes years ago, but there have been no police cars going there for a very, very long time, which I'm happy about. It's a handy spot. Some people worry about going to Stanford Liquor because of the folks across the street at the tiny park, but they have inevitably been kind to me over the five year I've lived here, with no issues at all.
