All of this started over a simple double-charge mistake on my receipt. Instead of fixing it professionally, the cashier shouted profanity, threatened me, my elderly parents, and my nephew, and even came outside with a stick. Be careful -- the staff here clearly lack proper background checks and basic respect for customers. Escalation will take place if they keep ignoring this.

In Japan, you can get amazing gourmet food at a 7-eleven! It's a cornucopia of amazing choices! So goes the American locations, if limited to * rolly franks, dogs, sausage, and taquitos. * triangle cut tuna, egg salad sandwiches at $7, made recently * assorted soft drinks * lotto tix! * donuts (which are not fresh -- and that's the way I like my sour cream/old fashioned!) * coffee and fixins * snacks, chips, salties, candy * household essentials and auto supplies * cigarettes and tobacco products, chew * newspapers, periodicals, mags and rags So thankful to find the light on and door open for my late night cravings!

The Simpsons-esque donuts always make me smile!

I later went somewhere else to get my medicine & and the prescription was filled without any problems. Basically, this pharmacist refused to give me my medication even though I had a perfectly good prescription. If you're looking to fill a prescription, do yourself a favour and go somewhere else.

Messages left for the pharmacy are returned in the PROMPT manner they are supposed to. The pharmacists, and staff are, EMPATHETIC, SOLUTION-ORIENTED, and are truly a breath of fresh air! CVS has updated the check-in process, with automated check-in screens at every pharmacy register, to provide a more EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT process, beneficial to customers and the staff.

Latimer isn't a deli. It is, as other reviewers have mentioned/suspected, a fence for stolen stuff. When they got busted and had to shut down for a while, it was for stealing hundreds of bikes and selling them out of the basement. I got mad for a few minutes (I've had my bike stolen, although not by them) and then got over myself because their beer selection is good and the place is conveniently located. Don't eat their food. It's terrible. Especially anything packaged and sitting on the shelves - potato salad, et cetera. Not that it's rancid - it's just not good, there's no point, and you'll want your $3 back desperately. If you want a good sandwich go to Jean's on 13th and Walnut. If you want a relatively obscure microbrew, come here. read more

After sitting for a few minutes the bartender came up to my table, showed me my receipt and told me "you seriously didn't leave a tip? YOU CAN F***ING LEAVE. Seriously. GET THE F*** OUT of here." My partner and I are literally standing outside right now with half our beers totally reeling. I have NEVER been spoken to like that. I literally cannot believe it. Kicked out of a bar for not tipping on a $16 bill? We didn't get any service, literally just walked up to the bar and got two beers in plastic cups then sat quietly at a table by the door. We'd be there 10 minutes at that point probably would've stayed another 10 minutes if we hadn't been kicked out. Truly, I am telling this story as factually as I possibly can. We were really just sitting quietly enjoying one round of drinks at a simple bar before our train, to celebrate the marathon being over. I still had my medal on and everything. I understand that maybe there's a local tipping culture that is vastly different than what I am accustomed to in Arizona, California, Indiana, and Connecticut (all the states I have lived in), but absolutely nothing gives someone the right to speak to another human that way, especially after they paid the required amount for food and received literally no service. The drinks weren't even brought to the table, did not require any ingredients, etc. I'm just flabbergasted and just really hoping management sees this and fires the woman immediately. She had light brown curly hair, maybe 30 yrs. old, and has absolutely no place in the service industry.

Her response was that it is "above her pay grade." After ordering, our waitress then made a mistake with our order, and we also requested to send a plate back. Somehow she was working without a manager or the ability to take something off of our bill, so all she could do was take the plate from our table, still, no problem. The final straw was then seeing a baby german roach crawling across the menus on the table. This prompted us to immediately get up from the table and cancel the drink orders we had just put in. When we were handed our bill, none of the items were itemized or had a description, so we couldn't tell whos was what. Won't be returning.

The plate looked incomplete and bizarre with just a burger and no fries or side salad.

It is dark, it looks like it is Halloween, and the themed drinks set the tone. When I arrived, with pre-purchased tickets, I was told there was a wait and was directed to the outside seating area. Outside on the sidewalk in the middle of a residential neighborhood with some shops around. The area was cordoned off but not private or comfortable at all. Once inside after a wait, I was directed to a divey bar (the main one) that seemed like it could seat 10 people if I am being generous. The bar was sticky and it was too dark to tell if it was also dirty, but I just hypothesized that it was. No worries, it's a dive bar and it is Halloween. The bartenders and service staff were affable and I ordered one of the themed drinks (see the video for the effect). Was it video worthy? Absolutely! Was it good? Potable and potent, but a little tart from the chemistry/alchemy happening. Still, I drank it. I ordered something else, and it was okay, typical for a Philly watering hole. After two drinks and 30-45 minutes, all the allure and spectacle had worn thin. I dared not order food. Would I recommend the experience? Sure, have a Halloween hoot. Would I return? Maybe as a weeknight regular bar for a quick drink, but not on a themed night. The ticket price and crowd hassle was not for me, but other people looked to be having fun. They nailed the Halloween ambience, if that is what you are searching for. Go experience it for yourself. Dress in a costume and soak it all in. May your night of revelry be smoother. Three stars seem fair.

I wish I could have had a different dessert because the cookies looked kind of overcooked (and the one I got def was). I also got a mixed cocktail drink which I really liked.
