Great beer selection, staples like cheese and bread and eggs, some fresh things these days. Awfully marked up for the convenience of being downtown because there is not much else around.
Before today, I would have given this shop five stars. I've stopped in once or twice a week on the way from work for well over a year and was happy to pay for the convenience. Today, I took in my bookbag and purse--like I have for well over a year on my way home from work--and was told there was a new policy that I couldn't bring in my book bag past the front counter.
Of course, the store gets to make whatever policies it wants, and maybe they found this necessary. But it's demeaning, and I'm not about to leave a bag with a laptop by the door. Given the convenience mark up, I'm taking my business elsewhere. Permanently.
