Some of the worst service I have had since I went to their old address next door.Someone should teach the employees some retail etiquette when it comes to service. The customer is the one paying their wages and anyone that tells me to “hurry up we close in 2 minutes” the minute I walk in the door should be working picking up garbage. Shows you the level of training The Liquor Barn gives it ‘s employees…Barnyard 101.

Came back from Kitsilano Wine Cellar about an hour ago…..still fuming from the feeling of “being looked down upon” by Cashier No. 10. Yes, we did go in looking for bargains, but we certainly do not deserve that kind of service. To make matter worse, when we asked for a box for the 14 bottles of wine, she told us: “I can’t get you a box but I can get you a bag”. We later found out that she actually charged us $3.58 for the bags! Not going back there again….

I’d debate the outstanding service… I know many people who have left the store feeling that they were looked down upon because they didn’t know much about wine. If you’re OK shopping at corporate run establishments than that’s OK. The money flows to the investors rather than to the community.

It’s too bad they can’t spell “Kitsalano” on their locations map: http://www.liquorstoresgp.ca/locations.cfm
