I've only been to Happy Liquor Store but just had to comment on the service. This guy was probably…read morethe friendliest liquor store salesperson I've seen. This could be attributed to the fact that it was 10:30am on a Friday morning (we were stocking up before heading to the Coromandel), but I was still a bit taken aback. I was picking up a few bottles of Rekorderlig (can't really go wrong at $6 a bottle!), and I was having a little trouble holding them all, so he came over, asked which ones I was after and took them to the counter for me. He asked my partner at the counter if wanted a mixer to go with his whiskey, and despite the conversation we had in the car before coming in that we would stop at the supermarket for this, he ended up grabbing his mixer of choice. I only witnessed it but as someone who is also in retail, he did an awesome job- he was very conversational and even when he tried to add on the mixer it wasn't at all forced. I haven't had a chance to come back here yet, but this place was definitely worth the shoutout.
