Save & Stay Food Store

I stopped in here on my way downtown admittedly only to break a ten for bus change. I know this can be annoying for businesses but it’s kind of part of life. I bought a pack of gum and asked the gentleman (using this term loosely) for change. I should have anticipated his response based on the super customer-​friendly signs posted everywhere «NO PUBLIC WASHROOM» «NO PUBLIC PHONE» «WE DON’T REALLY WANT YOU TO SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE». Okay I made the last one up. He did eventually break the bill but not before a huge lecture on why it was unfair to other customers for me to even ask… I don’t know. I’m just very over being treated like shit in establishments like this. It really doesn’t seem like he can afford to lose the business and gain the bad reputation based on how dirty and dank his store was. I didn’t get the chance to really check out what they sell there so this review isn’t based on that but regardless I will avoid this place from now on.

From the outside it doesn’t look like much and from the inside it doesn’t look like much either, however, they have some great groceries and snacks. There is nothing in the area, therefore, when I am visiting friends and unsure what is for dinner or when it is I cheat and grab some junk food from there. People here are very friendly.

His coffee was cold after he told me it was fresh. I complained and he kicked me out of his store ‘saying people like you come in here and complain about the coffee and that people like you think the coffee is not good. It is good. I don’t know what to do about people like you’
maybe make some fresh coffee buddy??? And maybe people like me might buy it?
