I never thought that I would be writing a review for a convenience store but I feel compelled to…read morewrite about this one. First, its location is primo - in the heart of St. Matthews. And while St. Matthews has a lot going on, it lacks convenience stores and/or bodegas. In addition, the owner and the employees are always super friendly and kind. More than once I have forgotten my wallet and they let me take my items anyway, knowing I will come back as a loyal customer. When they were out of their fried chicken, they fried some just for us. They have also been doing a lot of remodeling, so the place offers even more products. It's just a great little store in a convenient location.

In the past month, they've felt unwelcome in the store. This evening, I walked my son and daughter up to the store so they could buy some candy. I waited outside. My son came out and said that once again, the man behind the counter was rushing him. The man said, "come on, hurry up" and was tapping his hands on the counter. This is the second time this has happened. There was another incident in which my son and his friend rode scooters up to the store. They propped their scooters up against the building and were yelled at and told that they would have to pay $800 if they damaged the building. So, they left and shopped elsewhere. After we walked home tonight I drove up there and politely asked the man if there was a problem with the kids being in the store. I explained the experiences my kids have had. I asked him if he told them to hurry up. He said that he did and went on to explain that a couple of weeks ago "20 kids" came in and they did damage to the store. I feel terrible that happened to him but I told him that my kids were not part of that group and have always been polite. Not to mention, the first time he rushed my kids was several weeks ago. I explained that we support his business. He said he didn't care if it my kids were not part of the group that caused problems. His exact words were, "I am not a Walmart. If you want to shop somewhere else, you can shop somewhere else. Kids have three minutes to shop in the store and that rule is for all kids." It is a bit disheartening that, after trying to talk to him and understand the situation better, he basically told me to shop elsewhere. We won't be shopping at the St. Matthews Mini Mart again. We love to support local businesses so this is a bit disappointing. If you have kids who like to shop there, you may want to supervise them.

To me, this is an enchanted little store. In our five weeks visiting Louisville, it has become a…read morehome away from home - a happy anchor to which we return almost every day. The parking lot is very roomy - I never have trouble finding a spot for my big camper van. The store is bright and the aisles are wide. Products are laid out in a logical, convenient way that make it easy to find your way through the store. (In contrast, the Speedway convenience store up at the north end of Bardstown Road is relative chaos. The creamers are not near the coffee, everything is a mess, the parking lot is a nightmare and the staff are only occasionally friendly.) This place has the best sound system and best music I have ever encountered in a convenience store. They usually have their radio tuned to KISS FM, which has a sister station back in Asheville North Carolina, our home for the last 16 years. Back in Asheville, the KISS-FM station plays country music - which is appropriate for that town, smack dab in the middle of the Appalachian mountains. In this more urban environment, the KISS station plays 80s and 90s pop music - most of which I remember and which usually has me dancing through the store. This store is a happy place! It's not just me - many of the other customers seem to get happy when they walk through the door. For me and my little dog - and probably for some other customers - that has a little bit to do with air-conditioning in the sweltering Louisville summer. I have a hard time getting my little service dog Panchita to leave the air-conditioning - and she is such just a little Chihuahua love bucket who charms all the staff and all the customers. I think at this point she is almost the mascot of the store. When Bobbi is on duty behind the cash register, she does not even bother to greet me as I come through the door. She just yells out, "Hi Pancho!" They have the most high tech coffee service I have seen in a convenience store. Those two machines brew your coffee fresh from beans as you wait. They also have fresh and pre-brewed cold-brew coffee, and all manner of hot and iced tea. They have a refrigerated beer cave where Pancho and I both go sometimes to cool off. The staff person we have dealt with the most is a delightful young guy named Ethan. When there is nobody at his register or when I follow him outside for his little 15-minute break, we talk about everything under the sun: life, love, politics, religion - you name it, we go there. I enjoy the freshness of his youthful perspective on things and he pretends to give a nod to the "wisdom" (and wackiness) of this old man. There tends to be a big staff turnover problem in convenience stores all through the southeast and probably the whole US. You just can't keep people in a job where are you are paying way less than a living wage. The Circle K chain is paying more than most convenience stores, but I think the staff stay in their job mostly because they have a good time at work. New staff people tend to call in more often or just not show up for work - and they are often poorly trained and don't know how to handle even a slightly complicated transaction. I had a big argument with the manager of a Shell convenience store back in Weaverville, North Carolina, when he told me that any items I bought with my Visa card could not be returned. When I told him I did not think the Visa people would agree with that, he said it was just the policy of the store and to either accept it or get out. When I was not willing to accept either of those options, we had a big argument - that ended in him acknowledging that the reason they would not take a return on items you bought by Visa was that they did not know how to handle that kind of transaction in their cash register. When I told him that his incompetence was not a legitimate reason to violate Visa return policies, he called the police on me and had me banned from the store for life. (North Carolina and Kentucky are both "right to serve" states, which actually means that the owner or manager has the right to ban anybody from the store for life without giving a reason. The balance of power between rich owners and average customers is way out of whack in this country. Something needs to be done about it.) I have never had any kind of conflict with any manager in this store. The one day I attempted to talk to Eric, the head manager, he was a little abrupt with me and did not want to talk. But Bobbi told me later that he was under extreme deadline pressure that day - and is actually an extremely competent manager and very good to work for. .

I've been eyeing the new Farm Store on Brownsboro Road since I saw the sign go up at the former…read moreRally's location. I have a tender spot in my heart for drive-thru convenience stores. That may be weird, but I fondly remember my family and I regularly going to a drive-up convenience store in my home town whenever we were on the way to go to a family member's pool. My dad would load up on ice for the coolers, and we would get potato chips or other snacks to munch on in the back seat in the summer heat. So yesterday, I had a few minutes to spare, and I thought I would check out the Farm Store, which just opened, after seeing some segments about it on the news. It's part of a national chain but the first of its kind in Kentucky. Along with the drive-thru, you can walk up to grab convenience items or order ahead via its app. The manager was quick to greet me when I pulled up. The small building is stocked with grocery staples, like milk, bread, pantry items, candy and more. I opted, though, for a breakfast sandwich and a coffee. The breakfast sandwich, which had sausage, egg and cheese on it, reminded me of an Arby's croissant sandwich. The biscuit was flaky, and the sandwich was warm. The coffee also hit the spot. This will such a great option when I'm in need of grocery items but don't want to go into Kroger, like when I have my son and pup in the car. It's a bit dangerous that it's just down the street from my house. I will be back.
