Talking to ai chat, and ai rep, I got no where. But once they sent me to the girl in drive up and go I was taken care of. She was so nice and said they will pick the order for me again and make sure I don't get the same doordash driver again. She even called me later to tell me the driver has the groceries in the car and on the way. Once they arrived I opened the door to a small plant and a sweet handwritten note apologizing from drive up and go. It made my day! I didn't get the girls name but I had to rush to make a review so that her kindness, and costumer service is appreciated

I love old general stores like this. The old wood planks give this place so much character, and…read morejust imagine the stores those walls could tell if they talked! The general store itself carries a wide variety of items from food, to pet essentials, to ice cream, to crayons and pvc pipes. If you need it, chances are you will at least find some kind of compromise. While shopping I experienced a wonderful surprise when the sweetest kitty came walking up to me. I was curious if he was a cradling kitty, lap kitty, or only touch me when I want to be touched kind of kitty. If you're a cat or animal person, you know exactly what I mean. To my extreme delight she allowed me to pick her up and walk around the store with her. Her purring was so loud you could probably hear it on the other side of the store. Samsung made my heart so happy that day! Come for what you need, and stay to give this sweet girl love! You will not be sorry.

Okay, I may be biased because of the kitty but having visited a handful of remote areas, I've…read morelearned to appreciate the essentiality of the general store. They're stores that "generally sell all the things". This shop definitely achieves that. The day before, we were hoping to go to a grocery store but of course there aren't any. We happened upon a "market" which was nothing more than a gas station mini mart that didn't carry much at all. I had lectured my cousin at that point that the place to pick is always the General Store. One day later, we came here. It was a bit musky and run down looking, but the lady working there was super nice and the shop itself had TONS OF STUFF. Need pvc piping? This is your spot! Need random fishing supplies, you can get that here! Missing your pet cat at home? Come here and meet Samsung and make up for lost cuddles! Okay okay, in all seriousness though, we came here for a resupply on foods. We were able to purchase ground beef, pasta sauces and organic pasta! There was also a huge selection of ice cream and ice cream bars too. Not too much for the vegans, but that's to be expected. HOWEVER there were two instant noodles that were vegan/vegetarian-friendly, which was more than enough to make me happy. I didn't buy anything but was thoroughly impressed with my exploration of their curation of "general offerings". There were hatchets, ice scrapers, mops, cleaning supplies, random souvenirs and pretty much anything you can think of that you might need to get when staying in a cabin for a few days. One bummer was they sold out of eggs, but at least they carry them! Did I mention you need to visit because of the kitty? She's the cutest and had an adorable bed set up in one of the aisles. Sorry I didn't get a pic of it but just look at the kitty, Samsung!

This grocery shares space with an Ace Hardware and that in oneself is charming, but walk around and check out the inventory. Starting from the front of the market, they had a banana pudding flavored Appalachian moonshine in a mason jar, right next to another one that tastes like Eggo waffles. That's crazy. They have small packs of antipasto to go in case you want to have a small picnic on your drive. They serve their hot food on slabs of granite charcuterie boards which shoes that they're trying hard. The cake case has cool cakes you wouldn't expect, including a single slice of mango cake that must have weighed a couple of pounds. They serve their pre-made cold sandwiches on ciabatta or large biscuits. They sold tins of tea in cylinders with windows on them so you could see the mix of tea ingredients. Plus they had some cool stickers on sale on a rack and that's my jam. What a cool, curated inventory. Who is the buyer here? Because Bravo!! I will be back because this place isn't just a fun place to grab a snack- it should be a local foodie destination.

I started calling 50 minutes before closing, no one picked up for 30 of those 50 minutes, finally I get someone and they put me on hold... they had me on hold till after they closed (over 15 minutes, I stopped counting) then never even came back to say anything what so ever. the call just dropped at 7:06ish. However I must add this review is strictly about the vision clinic, the rest of the store runs super smooth and staff are always helpful. And for the employer : don't hire a man for a job that requires customer service and hospitality... they just can't seem to get it right :/ heavily disappointed as I'm a very busy person and NEED new glasses, just overall a bad first impression, thats for sure.

There is also a very fine gift, home decor section like soaps and lawn ornaments which makes this business all the more quaint.

My family and I had one of the most absurd and frustrating grocery store experiences I've ever seen…read moreat Blanton's Grocery Store. My aunt (44) and uncle were using the self-checkout and bought a case of beer. Instead of simply checking the ID of the person purchasing the alcohol, the employee demanded to see the ID of everyone standing anywhere nearby. My aunt, who is clearly well over 21, was forced to show ID even though she wasn't the one paying. Then my sister (24) and her boyfriend (32) were also told they had to show ID just for standing nearby. They actually had to walk all the way back outside to their vehicle just to grab their IDs to satisfy this ridiculous demand. The part that really pushed things over the edge is that my sister's boyfriend is a U.S. veteran who was injured while serving our country. It's incredibly ironic that someone can be 18 years old and old enough to enlist, risk their life, and serve the United States, but this same person gets treated like a criminal and harassed in a grocery store just to prove they're over 21 while standing next to family members buying groceries. And somehow the situation still got more ridiculous. I was standing by the doorway waiting for my family and I was also asked for ID, despite not even being part of the transaction. Every single person involved was clearly and obviously over 21. This didn't feel like someone responsibly following policy. It felt like a teller on a complete power trip who decided to make things difficult for absolutely no reason. I've worked in customer service and hospitality for over 8 years, including time in a grocery store, so I understand alcohol laws and regulations. Verifying the purchaser's age is standard practice. But demanding ID from every adult in the general vicinity, even someone standing by the door, is beyond excessive and completely unnecessary. The irony is we walked across the street to the gas station afterward and had zero issues. Blanton's managed to turn a simple grocery stop into an unnecessarily hostile experience. If this is how management chooses to treat customers, don't be surprised when people take their business elsewhere.

Even TV dinners if I want something salty and heavier. Plus they have a microwave you can use to heat up your food right away. They also have plenty cigarettes, pipes, and beer which I usually see a lot of truckers stopping by to pick up. For a small convenience store, it's very clean and organized and the owners are generally really helpful.
