I experienced racial discrimination today at Happy Harry's on 45th in Fargo ND, while trying to buy…read morewine for Thanksgiving Dinner. When asked for ID, I presented my Federal Tribal ID card, which I have always been proud to offer. The clerk said he can only accept it if I produced a birth certificate to go along with it. While explaining that our Tribal Id's come with holographic imprint, our social security number, birth date, full name, address, and tribal affiliation, the clerk raised his voice at me and barked "We are trained not to accept federal tribal id's!" Several nearby cashiers heard the commotion and chimed in agreement, loudly telling me and my girlfriend to leave. The manager, Sam, rushed toward me with unnecessary force and yelled, "You need to leave!" As a fellow local business owner I was surprised at the hostility Happy Harry's employees are allowed to display towards customers. I left humiliated, without the wine, that ironically, was for the holiday that celebrates Native Americans accepting the White Man, by offering dinner...probably with wine.

Sadly this section isnt cooled, so you will have to keep it in the fridge for a bit before exploring and experimenting with your beers. There is only an aisle to pick from, but it was honestly hard for me to pick which beers I wanted because I love adding to my Untappd and I love tasting new ways beer is made by these brewing companies. I was even surprised to see soju there! Its a great Korean beer that i discovered and loved back home. Although they dont have my favorite yogurt flavor, they surprisingly have flavors i have never seen back home such as grapefruit and plum. I even discovered a brand of rum that i really want to try. There is this rum called Kasama and knowing the language and meaning of it, i picked it up out of curiosity. My suspicions were correct. A rum made from the Philippines! Sadly we didnt bring a suitcase to fit under the plane, so I will have to do some research when I head back home. My only downside was it seemed a bit awkward for me to be there. The cashiers/employees kind of eyed me a bit as I walked around the store. I turn a corner, feel eyes on me, look, they turn away. Felt more comfortable to be around customers because the customers wouldnt stare at me and the service wouldnt dare look when more people were around me.

I don't write reviews for stores at ALL. This is my first. But my experience in this store boiled…read moreme so much I must write about it. I liked the aesthetics and vibe of the store, but what made me put ONE star for this place was the checkout. The checkout clerk wouldn't let us buy the products because one of our members didn't bring his ID. Yet, me and my brother-in-law, who happens to be a cop, had valid ID's to buy. Yet he was specifically targeting our friend. This guy can clearly see that we have ID's, licenses, etc to show we are the legal age to buy. But he refused. Even refused when our friend had a picture of his ID on his phone. Why? Most likely because we're minorities. Two Mexican-Americans and an African American. If the race was the other way around, most likely he would have let us leave with no problem. But clearly this guy didn't want us to happily buy their products due to clear discrimination. There's no sense to refuse when we have clear evidence that we are beyond the legal age to buy. How many IDs do you need to show that we LEGAL AGE? 10,000? The whole family tree? Ridiculous! This man and the store ruined our evening. If you're a person of color you're better off getting alcohol somewhere else. This clerk and the store should be ashamed. Please regroup and change this petty rule and the person's discrimination.

Gayle and I were in Fargo last weekend to celebrate her Aunt's 90th Birthday. A large contingent of…read morethe Kelly, Bujalski, and other families also made the trip to celebrate the life of who Gayle calls here kindred spirit. The food was pretty much potluck, with any adult beverages being up to the individual. So at some point, 3 of us made a beer and wine run to Bernie's. They had an excellent selection of craft beer, and some locally distilled spirits. The wine selection was OK, but the more time I spent here, the more I came to appreciate the offerings, and how lucky local Fargo residents are to have such a place around. If I lived here, I would certainly be a frequent flyer here.
