Corner Store

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. I should of known not to come here because homeless people always hang out here. A old guy who works here is a jerk. He yelled at me for accidentally dropping some soup in the floor. I used to go here alot, since its close to the salon I work at. Now I’m never stepping foot in here again. I dont recommend any of you to either.

It’s funny that this place is officially called the Corner Store Company as I grew up with the concept of a corner shop — the place you walked to for those last minute junk food cravings etc. — whether as a little kid with my pocket money looking for a «lucky bag» or as a more mature (age wise at least) person looking for a six pack carryout and a bag of chips.
Every place I’ve lived in the US, I’ve been lucky enough to have a corner shop nearby (even if it wasn’t on a corner — the concept is the same). After I moved to Monterey, this place was geographically ideal to become my corner shop, but of course, the proof is in the junk inventory, and small gas station stores are frequently not too hot on the junk inventory stakes.
So, how does it rate as a corner shop? Well, 4 stars worth of rating:
— I struggle to choose which variety of 99 cents chips I go for, and given that I’m picky in that arena, anywhere that forces me to choose is doing well
— a while ago, I needed to find some obscure candy bar to take to Europe to give to my sister in law, they had two varieties of it in stock
— 3 varieties of IPA (all good) and Strongbow too — the peak of an excellent beer selection for a gas station store.
If only the gas wasn’t so expensive.
