does this mean that bloomingdale liquors is trying to push an image of being a little nicer than a typical liquor store? could we be seeing the bars and bulletproof plexiglass coming down in favor of something a little more inviting?
ReplyDeletei'd think it inevitable.
ReplyDeletejust think, after the wine tasting you can walk down the street for a crack tasting!
ReplyDeletelast time i went there (soon after i moved in 3 years ago) it was to buy a bottle of champagne for a celebration. they didn't even know what champagne was!
ReplyDeleteI went there a few months ago to buy some cases if beers for a party. They were really helpful in helping me get a good deal and also helping load the boxes into my car. I agree the inside of the place needs grave improvement, but the people behind the glass were friendly and their prices were great.
