The Beer Store

I returned empties to the Esso gas station in Colborne Ontario as they are a return outlet. I returned 65 cans, 2 bottles and one tetra bag on August 4th. He gave me $4.20 and I drove away. I don't return often but when I got home my husband said I should have got $7.20 for empties. I was given $4.20. After talking to local friends they tell me that this location always tries to short you on your returns and they get aggressive if you challenge them. They should be shut down.

Every time I go to beer store there is never any beer that I drink always blaming distribution centre not sending order tried to ask about situation and she/he says that they send what they send what is the situation here at this beer store not having beer in stock always running outta beer to many dates to list June [protected] July 4 5 only limited amount available

Recently I have been under scrutiny at my position as a cashier at store 3057 in Rodney Ontario. I had accepted a tip that was not allowed on property (I accepted it as all my other cowerkers had done so and I had figured it was what the normal was). Which you know. I had employee relations called in on me and adrien came in and made me feel very uncomfortable with mark. Our conflict had been resolved and I had received a one day unpaid suspension and was cleared to go back for the weekend.

As of this morning my manager Santoshi Kukadia sent me a message stating I was suspended with pay effective immediately and that I had to attend ANOTHER meeting Wednesday March 15th. When I asked what this was about as I had followed every protocol I received no answer. Both Santoshi and Courtney Spurdza have been consistently bullying me into quitting or getting me fired and it has caused nothing but mental health stress on myself to the point of me doubling my therapy times to seeing a psychiatrist. Not to mention the first 4 weeks of working at this store I was stalked, sexually harassed by another coworker and belittled by my fellow employees. My manager has done nothing to make me welcome and has also shown her favouritism in Courtney and other employees. I would like to know my options on how to proceed as there should be no reason for ANOTHER meeting. As someone with bad mental health and PTSD with conflict with men, this is not doing well and I am on the verge of listening to my doctor and taking a stress leave…

I infrequently visit the Beer Store at 650 King St., Oshawa to return recyclables. It never ceases to amaze me how pathetic the customer service; namely, negative staff attitudes abound at this particular location. However; on the evening of Sept 2/2022 the treatment I received was abhorrent...

My husband and I arrived at the Beer Store (650 King St., Oshawa) Sept 2/2022 at 8:05pm (store closes at 9:00pm). We were delivering a car load of recyclables; ie: 7 flats of beer, 7 - 12's of wine bottles and less than 700 cans. We were publicly reprimanded and humiliated by the dirty blonde woman (name unknown) working that shift. She flew into an angry tantrum - deliberately and violently smashing our bottles in the bowels of the store before returning to verbally berate us for bringing a large load late in her shift. This is not the first time we experienced customer service issues with this particular staff member. She has been abrasive, curt and toxic in past instances as well. BUT! This time she crossed a line. She is paid to serve the public; she is paid up to 9:00pm but she is not paid to “SH!*T” all over or admonish store customers who provide the basis for her job in the first place. Why does the Beer Store continue to employ such a self-serving/self righteous/contemptuous employee? This lady requires a serious attitude adjustment of the highest magnitude by the HR Department for this organization.

I was returning my empties to the beer outlet store in South Mountain, store name, Ricks Gas Bar, the owner, John (I believe this is the owners name), swindled me out of $2.40 on my empties.

I had asked him what was his count on the empties. He ignored me and just handed me 73$ in cash. I wouldn't accept the money because I said his count was wrong. Then John, said go load them back up. Totally unacceptable, I said. We went back to count the empties, and he said all liquor bottles are the same price, which isn't true. I had to argue with him to try and get the correct amount for my returns and was told take the 77.60$, and next time don't bring back so many empties.

empties returned were 30.5 x (24 cases beer), 13 x 1.5 Liter Liquor bottles, 37 x 750ml liquor bottles and 6 glass beer bottles, on May 14 2022

This isn't the first time John has cheated me and I have had enough of this treatment.

thank you,

The lady knows I'm a regular customer and she's always rude to everyone but it was still my fav store IDK why maybe it's because my favorite workers moved onto new jobs like the old manager, she started working at my old job & she was super nice. I find the nicest employees never last long at that beer store now I finally realize WHY

This happened yesterday Feb 26 2022 afternoon, I go walking in without my cane bc I dislike it when ppl say "oh no OMG I'm so sorry for you... What happened" grinds my gears bc it's nobody's business but now I'm about to tell my business,

Used to be my favorite beer store, up until yesterday! This is regarding the lady who looks 35-38ish with the long straight hair who's kinda always been rude to a lot of ppl, she accused me of being under the influence which hurt my feelings bc I'm having a really hard time mentally & physically... #1 I've had a stressful week regarding my dad being murdered & other events, I have PTSD and suffer from insomnia #2 My cancer cells might of came back & that it's spreading very quickly I find out more on Monday. My 16yr old son's father had already died... Do you think it's easy for me to sleep nightly or easy to deal with the stress in my life? Just because my legs were throbbed in pain with huge growing big bumps all over my body, badly bruised, legs are so swollen that none of my clothes fit, my shoes no longer fit bc of how badly swollen my body is, just bc I was lost at the moment & couldn't think & wanted to add up what I all to make sure I had enough for the type of drinks I wanted. Because you know to help keep me sane during hard times also have you ever heard the term of crying before? Or maybe you're just too careless to even notice, or maybe you do notice and you just like bullying those who are having a hard time. You can't just judge & assume right off the hop. You even decline smelling my breath, which I was legally allowed to request, thank god my brother in law is a lawyer. If you judged, trying to say I'm on drugs is down right discrimination. Another thing is I'm a very shy person and I'll be making a complaint to a retired old boss from there on what I can do so this doesn't happen again tonight to ppl like me, also me walking in suffering in so much pain should very well tell you I have physical issues. Also at my job we're always told "leave the attitude at home and act professional in a calm way etc. & since I see other bad reviews on Google too from others... I think maybe you should go get another job that won't turn you into such a bully.

went to take empties back to clinton ontario beer store and lady working there was totally rude said we had to call and said only one person working which there were 2 of them in store and she said its 5:00 which it was 4:30 then she was throwing bags of empties all pissed off then said they pay u inside and she jumped in her car and took off never had this problem before so we didnt pick up our beer there went else were wont be going back to that store again thanks

It's the day before Christmas.! I have now been at the beer store as a part time employee for almost two months. I'm not complaining on the short time I have been there to be appreciated., But the long term staff I noticed don't get appreciated. As I can see it being Christmas I would think that a billion dollar company would at least benefit there staff at this time? Not a card for any employee not a staff party nothing! Makes me sad and I am currently looking for a better job that appreciates there employees.

I was giving notice not just to one beer store but all beer store in the province...apparently an employee states that I show her obscene photos from my phone, since then I've noticed she walk away from me and call someone else to serve me so I was wondering what's going on here so I talk to a few employees and to my knowledge she have issues with everyone...I'm asking for proof what I have have done to be barred when I show no threat or any rudeness to any employee that I visited for over 30 years...I'm going to consult with my lawyer to see what can be done...

Hi,

my name is Carolyn Cotman. I purchased 13 cans of Molson Canadian this am @ approx 10:30 at The Beer Store on Princess st in Kingston. The girl serving me was very pleasant. Working by herself and it was steady with customers returning empties and purchasing beer. I paid for my beer ($25.50), picked it up off counter and left. Not thinking to ask for a bag and I wasn't offered one. While carrying beer to my car two cans feel out of plastic holder, then carrying beer into my house the two cans of beer plus one more fell out of plastic holder. Three beer were spraying beer out of the can. I struggle with MS therefore having a bit of trouble carrying things. I thought afterwards that if I was offered a bag to carry product in this could of been prevented. The girl working this am at The Beer Store would not of been aware that I may have trouble carrying beer to my car.

Is there any way I can be reimbursed? My phone # is [protected].

Address is; 23 Cartwright St
Kingston, Ontario
K7m-1p3

Next time I will request a bag or take my own. I never thought to do this as I rarely purchase beer. I was buying a Thank-you gift for a neighbour that helped me out on Victor Day weekend.

Thsnks for your time,

Carolyn

Hello I bought a case of budwieser tall cans from the upper James location in Hamilton. When I got home I noticed the bottom of the case was wet and so was my back seat. I opened the case and one of the cans had a puncture hole and was 3 quarters empty. 2 of the other cans had dents in them as well.
My car now smells like beer and the seat has a stain.

Visited the Oshawa location on king St Oshawa Mar 12 bought 6 old Milwaukee went back few hrs later bought 6 more and they told me not to come back I drank 2 beer within the time and had a ride. Really felt discriminated and embarrassed. l/ashamed. My name is Duane and was served by a female and a man went to the back for the beer my number is [protected].

I am more than disappointed in the unavailability of budlight orange especially during a winter lockdown..It is the only beer i drink & during these difficult times of isolation it is another frustration to deal with..I live in peterborough & it always sold very well...Why stop selling it? its not right! apparently i have to write 350 characters which is ridiculous too!
