West Lynn Corner Store

I vowed never to return after a bizarre impromptu price gouge occurred at the register. I told my husband and he revealed an identical experience. It looks like this happens to everyone.
Oh well!

Phone glued to cashier’s ear the entire time I was in the store. Tried to charge me an astronomical price for a 12 pack of Bud. When I commented about how expensive it was, he gave me a $ 2 «discount». Seems like a recurring issue.
Not coming back. Ever.

the guy who works nights is constantly digging in his nose. i mean he has actually been shamelessly picking his nose every time i have ever walked in there — and he keeps right on digging away. it’s revolting. what is wrong with this dude?

I’ve finally figured out their pricing system!
If the cashier detects you’re there on a beer run or getting drunk munchies, expect to pay 200% of what you would pay sober.
My boyfriend had a few beers and walked to the store to get another 6 pack and beef jerky and realized he paid $ 24 for it when he got home.
Everything is annoyingly overpriced all the time, but if you’re buzzed you will pay a price SO HIGH that you will actually be offended. They are preying on the wallets of the inebriated! I guess they really figured out the whole «know your customer» thing because the only reason to go to West Lynn is to buy beer or wine.
Not cool, y’all.

Double check their math. They overcharge at the register. They resist giving any kind of receipt. Not friendly. Not fair. A short walk from where I live, but I will not make that walk again. This is not an honest business.

SCAM! He just tried to charge me $ 18.99 for a 12 pack of Shiner Bock. I have caught these foreign devils tring to rip me off on more than one occasion. He overcharges you at least 3 bucks everytime you go in there. I called the police but apparently what he’s doing is not illegal. My next call will be to my credit card company to dispute the charges. SCAM ARTIST. STAY AWAY. (unless of course you like doing business with deceptive, double dealing extortionitist arabs)

NEVER, EVER, EVER AGAIN will I visit this store. Like previous reviews, we were totally just screwed. 2 Drumstick Ice Creams, normally .89−−1.29, we checked out and it was almost 10 bucks. No price listed. It was a long night and we just came back from a wedding and were therefore dressed up. I didn’t realize what had just happened to me until I started to walk out. I looked down at my receipt and there wasn’t anything written on it. So, I turned around to ask the clerk, who was on the phone the entire time we were there. It took him nearly 5 minutes to move the phone away from his ear and say, «what?» I asked him for the price and he said that each cone was 3.99. I of course said that it was a rip off and that if he is going to charge outrageous prices, he needs to make a sign. He then said, «nope» and I said, «nope, you don’t think you need to make people aware of what you are charging them?» and he said «nope» and proceeded to talk on the phone. What a freaking A-​HOLE. Another lost customer and hopefully the rest of you will steer clear of the place too. No one that does business that way or treats customers so poorly, should make a freaking dime! PLEASE DO US ALL A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY!!!
(BTW, this was my second visit in a week and the first was equally as bad. Second chance wasn’t rewarded).

These reviews are not wrong. I just had to run up the the corner store quickly and got a bottle of wine and tampons (lovely i know), the wine was labeled $ 12.99 and the tampons were not labeled. He rang me up at 18.38. I had just read all these reviews so I asked him for a receipt… he printed out the receipt that just showed the total, I then asked for an itemized receipt. He pointed at each item and said: this one is 12.99 the other is 3.99. I said ok. and he then said «you don’t believe me do you» and printed an «itemized» receipt… aka:
Description qty amount
T Tax 1 3.99
T Tax 1 12.99
how on earth do they file their taxes?
I got home and looked up what the avg price is for the 10 pack of tampax pearls i bought and it is $ 2.5
Have these people been submitted to better business bureau, or the Neighborhood association, or been audited?

They’re making this shit up at the counter. I’m not lying. Go elsewhere.

This place is a SCAM!!! I have gone in numerous times and got the same item and out of nowhere a new guy shows up. I go to the counter and he jacks the price. I tell him it’s the usual price and he realizes he needs to change the price back. Next time I go with my girlfriend and she goes in to buy wine and I stay in car with our 1 year old. She comes back to tell me she thought she was buying a bottle of wine priced at $ 7.99 and when she pulls a wallet out with a few $ 20’s the guy at counter takes the $ 7.99 tag off and says the price has changed and it’s $ 9.99. We got home and she told me and I was upset. So I went back the next day to get my usual 6 pack and I put my wallet down with a few $ 20’s and all in a sudden the beer was $ 1.50 more expensive. That’s BS and I will call it! These guys need to sell out and go back to where ever they came from. This is unacceptable in a town like Austin. PLEASE don’t shop with these guys. Terrible business ethics and I will continue to voice my opinion until they are GONE!!! 1 Star…1Star…1Star…and the only reason you got one star is because I can’t give negative stars. BBB is coming soon! Have you ever heard of 7 on your side or Chris Hansen? Watch out because I have a recorder. Or does she have a recorder? Or does that kid have a recorder? Or does that old lady have a recorder? or does that school teacher have a recorder? Or does that guy at Starlite have a recorder? Or does that guy at Fresh Plus have a recorder? Or does that dog that comes in with owner have a recorder. You get the point. Watch out from here on out… we are watching! You guys suck!

Simple as this:
Went to buy some wine. Price tag reads $ 7.99. Went to the counter to purchase my wine. Clerk peels off $ 7.99 sticker, and tells me now that the wine is $ 9.99. I was kind-​of in shock. I paid the $ 9.99, but promised myself I would never return to this store ever again. It is sad, because a corner store in Clarksville could do quite well, due to convenience. All in all… horrible experience, and this is just the most recent. The clerks do not get off the phone as you are checking out (rude), they change their prices, and they are WAY too overpriced. I would not recomend this place to anyone. EVER.

Awesome little corner store that seem to have everything you need right away.
Plus, the staff there were friendly.

i’m Unilocaling to calm myself down just a little here…
After buying god knows how many cases of beer at this god forsaken indian haven I just recently started to wonder why everything was so absurdly expensive. I looked everywhere for a price on an 18 pack of bud until I found a tag (of course) halfway hidden, laying on the ground. It read something like 19 $. In addition to the beer I bought a coozie. The clerk rang up my two items and the total came to 27 $. I knew that couldn’t have been right, so i asked for a receipt. He rang it up the second time and the price came out as 25.19 $. The receipt had no price for either item. just a total.
I now realize that these damn indians have been picking prices for different items at their convenience and over charging me every single time. Not only is this immoral, but it’s GOT to be illegal.
I award you no points west lynn corner store. and may god have mercy on your soul.

Multiple times i had to tell them the correct price on an item. You will be ripped off if not careful. Would love if the clerks got off the phone as I’m checking out. And please don’t talk to me while you are eating and your mouth is full of food. Just nasty. As previously stated, can only use a credit card when a minimum is met. I believe this is illegal.

This place is over priced, the staff is rude, and they will not take credit cards without a $ 3 minimum purchase. Save your time and money and visit the 7 – 11 on Lamar.

Probably the most expensive connivence store I have ever been treated like crap in. No matter who is behind the counter, they always seem so annoyed.
I miss Quix.

I bought milk and the date said it was good but the milk had curdled due to warmth I guess. Then I realized both the other items I bought had expired by more then 9 months, so everything I bought was spoiled. I will never go there again and I suggest checking the dates on everything you purchase. I returned the items and got my money back and drove right to 7 – 11 where I purchased the same items for over $ 4 cheaper. I wouldn’t waste my time or money here.

I curse this place for introducing me to Humbles. What’s Humbles? Well it was suddenly what was for dinner last night. (baked Hummus chips —– yeah).
This place is open till midnight which is good to know as Fresh Plus locks me out at 9 p.m. I’d go there first, but in a pinch this will do.
I’m known to get into pinches.

Quix is dead. Long live Quix!
I lived in Clarksville at the turn of the century, and it’s probably my favorite neighborhood in Austin. I moved from there to San Antonio, if you can believe that. During my time in Clarksville, I became attached to neighborhood gems like Fresh Plus, Cipollina’s, Nau’s, and yes – Quix.
This was during my quit-​smoking stage, which ran from roughly 1999 — 2004 – when I finally defeated the nicotine devil. While in Clarksville, I would go to Quix and pick up some beers and a few singles of Black & Mild plastic tip cigarillos. This was my strategy to stop smoking: smoke less by inhaling these cigars and eventually wean myself off tobacco altogether. Didn’t work, but man were those Black & Milds smooth. And the guys behind the counter would break up the packs and sell them individually. Not all places will do that for you – even though they stand to make a lot more money that way. Quix had the balls to be ghetto in the middle of the hoitiest of toity neighborhoods. And for that, I loved them.
After returning to Austin after a few years in San Antonio, I was dismayed to see the changes in Clarksville. For one, I couldn’t afford to live there anymore. More importantly, some really nice craftsmen bungalows had been razed and boxy multi-​story monstrosities now filled entire lots. Charming and formerly affordable apartment complexes were now «condos». What was going on?
I was happy to note, in my shortcuts through Clarksville to avoid Lamar traffic, that Fresh Plus, Cipollina’s, and Quix seemed unchanged. Well that was until a few weeks ago when, exiting Bookpeople and heading up that huge hill at W 9^th and then around to West Lynn I decided to stop and get a soda and there I saw this… this. this West Lynn Corner Store.
Where was the clerk outside smoking and looking slightly pissed that a customer had pulled up? Where were all the old Miller Lite cutouts? My God, what of the Quix-​branded lighters?
I will give you another chance, W Lynn Corner Store, but for now I say harumph.

I’ll start off by saying that I don’t really miss Quix #659 that lived in this building before, but this was a slim improvement.
The outside of the store is a bland olive green, maybe, with little effort put in to make it seem all that different from the previous convenience store. The sign in the parking strip is nice, I’ll give them that, but the parking signs look as though someone just used white out to cover up anything that said QUIX and left the rest so they wouldn’t have to purchase new signs. Granted, the place just opened a few weeks ago, maybe just over a month ago, but I think there’s a reason it’s so dead in there during the day other than it being brand new.
They’re making a real effort to let people know it’s open, with a new GRAND OPENING sign or paraphernalia every week, but it doesn’t seem to get too packed. And I’ll tell you why I think that’s the case.
Case of lonestar: 21.64
Normal Sized Pack of Starburst: 1.29 + tax.
Either they have something against products with the word Star in them, or their markups are kind of excessive. I’m going to go with the latter. Everything I’ve bought there is noticeably expensive (even for a small store).
Now the reasons I didn’t give this place 1 star.
Green Cart Sandwiches
Beer/​Wine
Open until Midnight (1 AM on saturdays)
Really. Really. Really. Close to where I live.
Nice Staff
Not Quix.
