    Clearly someone can't read lmao. I called, didn't go back into the shop. They should have it on camera. You're a joke

    This is when I wish zero stars could be an option. I've been to this shop a few times in the past, Dani had been extremely helpful, upbeat, and easy to talk to. I went back yesterday 5/15/20 to purchase a glass piece. We got to talking about how funny different county policies are on water pipe and bong before anything was taken off the selves. I slipped up and said bong instead of water pipe, and he corrected me, told me I cannot use that word in the store. I looked at a few more pieces and asked to see one more piece, followed by "I'm exited for my new bong" the young mans Demeanor completely changed and said "get out of the store now." Confused I said, "what?" He raised his voice even higher and said "get out now you used the word bong five times. Out now!" So I leave the store feeling freakin weird. Inside the shop, there are a couple days that state "DO NOT USE THE B WORD" absolutely nowhere else does it define that you will be kicked out of the store if you use the word more than three times. Was he counting the conversion when I first entered the store? Or? Not wanting another customer to feel humiliated I called the store few minutes after leaving to suggest to the employee to put up signs explaining that customers will be KICKED OUT IF YOU USE THE TERM BONG FIVE TIMES. Immediately his tone got nasty again with me and said "I actually gave you 5 chances instead of 3 so I was being kind." I went on to say that he didn't explain that I would be kicked out, that I understand but explaining that- And that's as far in the phone conversion as I got as the very rude employee wouldn't let me get out a single word. He continued to talk over me and raised voice say, "you're being extremely difficult and I explained the policy to you" and hung up on me. I have NEVER been treated like this from a place of Business. When he wouldn't let me talk, I raised my voice to drown out his, asked him to let me finished and that's when he hung up. I was not upset over the fact I was asked to leave the store. For whatever reason, as Businesses have the right to deny service to anyone. It was the way I was treated when suggesting to put up a sign so other customers would know. If this shop thinks telling someone ONCE not to use bong is an explanation, I'm appalled. Two friends in my car over heard the conversion and were just as shocked as I was. This employee wouldn't let me ask if I was kicked out permanently, or temporarily, in the store, or over the phone. I will be making sure that my friends and family will be following up with a similar review. I hope that man never treats another customer like that again. Obviously everyone is different and reacts differently but I don't EVER want to come home crying from a smoke shop feeling less then. He also allowed a customer to come in for several minutes without a mask using a vaping product that was difficulty, so I will be following up with the county on that as well. There should be video of that really unsafe, transaction. Truly just truly disgusting with this shop.

The lady on the phone answered said her name was cynthia, and when I asked her about what I was looking for she became rude, she asked who I was.I gave her my name and tried to give her an explanation because I shop there all the time during the work week.And i've met just about every employee. Typically, I get very positive people. Very friendly and very professional. On this day, I received a rude, an abrasive employee. I normally love this store and we'll only shop at this store for because of the people.And because of the atmosphere and they always go above and beyond.But not on this day when I showed up cynthia stated.Oh, you're the one that called.And then proceeded to grill me. I tried to put my hand up and get the situation to calm down and she went and got what I was looking for put it on the counter.And continued with the rude atmosphere. I know now not to shop on the days that she works because I will never deal with someone like that again when I am a frequent flyer there.

This Total Wine visit was a means to an end, to be honest. I visited strictly for two reasons: One, to procure bourbon that can't be found in the Midwest. And two, to grab a bottle of red wine that has a twist-off cap that I could take back to my hotel room. I'm happy to say that both missions were accomplished! This Total Wine is like many of the other Total Wine stores: It's very organized and neat, with helpful people all about. That's one of the things that I love about Total Wine: There are people here and there in the aisles, ready to help. The other thing that I love about Total Wine is that it's so super organized, so you can just pop into a store and find what you want. That was the case for me, and I was in and out very quickly. Sometimes, you want to wander and browse. And other times, you just want to go in and get what you want. I got a bottle of red wine, and it was delicious. What more can you want?
