    I pretty much only come here because they have White Grape Swishers that I can't find at the Shell Station. So 5 stars for that.

    Just curious: Is the name of the business a deliberate reference to the City of Amber, in Roger Zelazny's Nine Princes in Amber novels?

    No its referenced to a burnt cig...embers and they sell cigs so why not city of ember

From the moment I walked in, there was no greeting or acknowledgment, despite her standing at the register without a customer. I politely asked if she could help me retrieve an item from a shelf, and she responded, "We'll be right with you." It took nearly 10 minutes before she finally came over, only to apologize and explain she had been closing out a register. When I showed her the item I was looking for, instead of assisting me, she simply pointed down an aisle and told me where it might be. Fortunately, a manager noticed I was still searching and personally helped me locate the product. When I went to check out, Esmeralda was the only cashier available. After placing my items on the counter, she asked if I wanted a shopping cart. I said yes and asked where they were located. She told me they were outside. While she was ringing up my purchase, I stepped outside to grab a cart and returned. At that point, she informed me that she needed to ring up the entire order again and began asking me how many of each item I had already placed on the counter. Confused, I simply looked at her. She then asked, "You can't speak?" I replied that she seemed unable to do her job and told her that the customer service had been poor from the moment I walked into the store. Instead of attempting to resolve the situation, she stopped helping me altogether, began assisting other customers, and stated that she was no longer going to ring up my purchase. I requested to speak with a manager. She said "okay" but never called one. This interaction was unprofessional, dismissive, and completely avoidable. Customer service starts with basic courtesy and a willingness to help. BevMo should invest in employees who genuinely want to assist customers and represent the company professionally. Ended up, leaving without even making a purchase.

So once I bought a home in Bayview and realized that Jay Vee was still going I was excited and had to pay a visit. This is small but has a large selection of liquors, beer and wines.

So there I was, Gatorade in one hand and some chile picante corn nuts in the other. I'm white, but I can handle my spice. I'm second in line. Guy in front of me puts his stuff on the counter and I hear him say: "Jennifer Connelly is the hottest woman alive" I let out an audible chuckle at the sheer stupidity of the comment. Guy spins around and in the most self righteous tone says "excuse me what?" and starts throwing up his spaghetti fingers in an outrage. This man is clearly Italian or Roman...whatever...they're called these days. I say "You're simply incorrect, she's not even top 5, she might barely make top 10, sorry about it." Mr. Gabagool flies off the handle. Self righteousness has been dialed to 11. Spaghetti fingers flying everywhere. You'd have thought I spit in his lasagna or something. For 53 minutes straight he goes on about Jennifer Connelly, naming all of her roles, how's she's a smoke show in every single one, waving his arms and non stop spaghetti fingers. I was exhausted just from watching. At this point my Gatorade is no longer cold so I swap it out, come back, and tell this obnoxious man: "statistically speaking it's possible for you to be correct...just not about this." I then step in front of him, pay for my stuff, and exit. If I never see that guy again I'll have lived a happy life. 10/10 store though. Would visit again.

I may be wrong about that, but if you happen to be in the livestock capital of the East Bay, then Bevbox would fit the bill. Rodeo's association with livestock roundups are long gone, but the need for libations is presumably still there, especially as shelter-in-place clocks into its seventh month. Supplemented by the inevitable selection of snacks, their inventory is quite impressive for a store that looks more like a convenience mart from the outside. Safe distancing is well addressed in here, too. I think Socrates may be right this time. RELATED - Exploring this part of Contra Costa?

Buddy buddy with you until you don't spend money there once you come back and you haven't spent money there in a while they charge you double the price or they give you a shitty product. Typical won't be back unless I'm desperate. Don't wonder why you're faithful customers don't come back you know why you know exactly why and you know who exactly I'm talking to I don't even have to say anything you know it. Tall mcskis

I ate half of the blta and took rest home- fresh, crispy and balanced. Fried chicken sandwich was delicious with the pickles and slaw and the bun was yummy. The chicken was generous in proportion and overflowed off the bun. Now- the winner of the meal- blueberry cheesecake. That crust, topped with deliciousness and fresh blueberries. Women's restroom was super clean- which you know is a great sign of the kitchen. Looking forward to my next visit.
