But between the immaculate new fixtures and beautiful signage, an excellent and fairly well-priced wine selection, and the ridiculously hot guy who (or whose family) seems to own the place (the first time I went there were 3 or 4 generations crowding the store, when they first opened), and the walk-ability for me, there's not much to complain about. Parking sucks-- this is in the old Store 24 on Arsenal by the Super 8 and it's hard to get in and out of if you're driving, but I'm not!) Seriously ladies, you have to go see this guy.

I placed an Uber Eats order through Blanchards and accidentally ended up with an automatic wine…read moresubstitution I wouldn't have chosen. That part was not a big deal, and I fully understand that the substitution settings may have been my mistake. Since the Uber Eats driver had not yet arrived at the store, I called Blanchards simply to ask whether it might still be possible to swap the replacement for something else. The man who answered the phone was unbelievably sassy, rude, and condescending from the outset. Before I could even explain what I was asking, he interrupted me with, "Stop. What's your name first? What's your name?" I gave him my name and calmly explained that I was just wondering whether the replacement could still be changed. His response was, "Sweetheart, let me give you a little lesson in how this works." I politely told him that I understood how Uber Eats works and was only asking whether, since the driver had not arrived yet, there was any possibility of changing the replacement. He then called me "sweetheart" again and told me the item had already been rung up. Had he simply said, "I'm sorry, once the order is processed we can't change it," that would have been completely fine. I would have thanked him and moved on. The wine substitution itself was never the issue. What I found unacceptable was being spoken to like an idiot and repeatedly called "sweetheart" by a sassy male employee when I had been perfectly polite throughout the conversation. There was absolutely no reason for the attitude or the condescension. I've rarely felt compelled to write a review over a phone interaction, but this was genuinely appalling customer service. A simple "sorry, we can't change it" would have taken ten seconds and accomplished exactly the same thing without the condescending little "lesson in how this works."
