If you've been to one VA ABC you've been to them all. They all are pretty standard. This place is…read moreclean and brightly lit which makes it better than some. I went on Christmas Eve and it was pretty empty. There were more staff (7 or 8 employees) than customers. They all asked if I needed help which was nice but unnecessary. This place deserved a review because it is better than most but still pretty standard.

I walked into this ABC store on a Sunday May 24th around 5:50PM. As I walked in one of the…read moreemployees was walking towards the back about 2 minutes later another employee walks out from the back and yells at me "we're closed, buy somthing or get out" I apologized and said "I wasn't aware, the young man did not say anything to me as I walked in and your door was opened." He kept cutting me off by saying "buy something or get out." I asked if I can have a second as I'm trying to find the right brand. Instead of him helping me to get out the door faster he raised his voice at me and was extremely rude. I was also in a bit of a rush so I purchased whatever was in my hand. The aggressive and disrespectful man kept talking at me and pointed at the door and said "you see here it says till 6pm on Sunday." And said "can you not read." I asked him if I could speak to the manager and ask if he was the manager he stayed quiet. I asked for his name he said " I don't have to tell you my name" I paid for the bottle and took a picture of him, then only was he trying to be nice. What a maniac. He ruined my day...was not helpful, nothing but disrespectful and totally unacceptable. If I could rate it would be a 0/0 Oh did I mention he did not ID me because he wanted me out so badly. DID NOT CHECK ID.

Garrett provided me quite a few different options to take home and try it during the inclement weather. Tastings definitely helped to make the determination of which wines I picked.

Total Wine has leaned into hemp-derived THC drinks and edibles, and a regulated cannabis market would have cut into that business. I have been shopping at your store for years buying non alcoholic drinks. I do not drink hemp derived beverage only combust cannabis. Due to your letter to our governor I will no longer be shopping at your store. I wasn't buying the hemp drinks anyways so me be allowed to purchase cannabis at Beyond Hello is not a threat to Total Wine. Shame on you. You lost my family's business for life.

Upon finishing my military hair cut, I decided to get a special bottle of whiskey for my wife. I…read moreremember her telling me about Royal Crown and a new flavor called Apple last year. Today, I stopped by to see if they had a bigger bottle of whiskey than the size that was bought last time. Sure enough this store did, but I saw something that changed everything. Next to the bottle of Royal Crown Apple are a few bottles of Royal Crown Peach. Something I figured my wife would want to try since she loved the Royal Crown Apple. Once again my suspicion were correct and she loved the Royal Crown Peach. The manager told me this bottle is hard to keep on the shelf. I will have to keep my eyes open for two more bottles of the Royal Crown Peach should I see it.

This place is very convenient I live close to the store for 10 years …read more The 3 middle aged Indian or some foreign decent men in there that look down on white women not helpful rude stand around and talk to themselves in a little group even with the Covid going on.

I do have an ABC store two minutes away but if I drive three more minutes, I can go to this…read morelocation. The one closer to me is fine, but it is a bit of an older store. That being said, this one always has French pastis in stock & on the shelf; Pastis is similar to Italian Sambuca or Greek Ouzo but not quite the same, lol. Sambuca is made from elderberries, Ouzo is made from distilled grapes & aniseed, & Pastis is made from anise, star anise & fennel. The store only has Pernod, which we do like, but you can special order Ricard, which is mine & my French hubs preference; they are from the same company & are both anise-flavored spirits that have their roots in absinthe, but they taste different enough from each other. Pernod is the closet to Absinthe & the company, Pernod-Ricard does, in fact, make real absinthe as well. Look up the history, it's actually an interesting story of how Pastis came about. But I digress, lol. Pastis is an anise-flavored apéritif, or apéro as the French call it, & it is a digestif (aides in digestions). It is typically drank before a meal & served over a couple ice cubes & diluted with water so that it becomes beautifully cloudy & almost a golden, iridescent yellow. Pernod is made from distillates of star anisé (on of my fave spices), fennel, & 14 other botanicals such as coriander, mint, chamomile, & Veronica to name a few. Pernod has a low licorice content which sets it apart from Ricard, which has a more pronounced licorice flavor I must say the staff here is super friendly & the female manager is the best; she always has a big smile on her face. FYI ~ if you want liquor in VA you must purchase it from the ABC store aka Alcohol & Beverage Control Authority.

I had never even seen this person before, much less had a conversation with her. HQ said they'd talk to the store manager and get back to me. No one ever got back to me. I guess harassment of the customers is applauded there! If they thought that I had done something wrong, or thought that I was someone else who had, they should have told me, instead of being so cruel! Never again will I walk into that HT! I've also told all of my friends and family what happened and posted it publically with HT's Columbia Pike address on FB, Instagram and X.
