I shop here often because it's close to where I live. They usually have good selection and their wine selection is huge.
The staff is usually very friendly, however, I recently had an unpleasant experience that has left me not wanting to shop here. My friends and I are all in our twenties. Three of us walked in while the fourth was reparking the car. We walked towards the wine, as we came for that purpose, and when our fourth friend joined us, she said she overheard a man speak into his walkie-talkie that "three girls are headed towards the alcohol aisle." I shrugged and said it was kind of weird but we continued shopping. Me and one friend made our selection after several minutes of browsing and headed towards check out. That's when we noticed that a security guard was standing in produce, right next to the aisles we were in, watching us. Not in a discrete way at all. I got in line and my friend was behind me. I heard what I assume was a manager say into his walkie-talkie, "ID everyone or no one buys." I do understand the law, however, all four of us were making separate transactions, all buying alcohol, and none of us were underage.
The security guard and manager stood at the end of the check out, watching everything we did, and watched us until we exited the store.
I'm not sure why they felt the need to be so in-our-faces about us, but it was really strange and most definitely made us all uncomfortable. We were all happy to show our ID's at check out, so the following seemed uncalled for.
