BC Liquor Stores

Great location. They are always stocked with anything you may want. Staff is polite and efficient.

The location is downtown, very close to New Westminster tube station. The store offers a wide variety of alcoholic beverages. Very normal anyway, since it only sells this type of product. There you will find beer, vodka, wine, brandy, and other more or less famous specialties. The store began replenishing empty bottles and cans. This was canceled at the beginning of the COVID crisis. A little about prices. Generally speaking, the drink is expensive in the province. Locally, comparing this store with others with identical profiles, the prices are lower.

The staff at this location seem to be getting more and more rude. There's one fellow, older man with a mustache, that is particularly surly and can't seem to muster even the bare minimum of a positive attitude. I've witnessed his interactions with customers who have called him out for being so short-tempered and rude. He obviously hates his job, but it's not the customer's fault and he needs to stop taking it out on them. A staff member snarked at me yesterday for going to put a basket back, apparently in the wrong place, instead of just leaving it by the till. It was my mistake as I didn't realize they regularly cleaned their baskets that are piled near the front, but he could have been more polite about it instead of barking at me. In all, I'll still shop here since the location is convenient and it's generally well stocked, but I'd recommend management takes steps to address their staff's attitude and instruct them to be courteous to customers.

They got lots of booze and smart people that know stuff about booze.

Friendly helpful staff have worked to make Covid19 protocols run smoothly despite being busy. Everything feels as safe as is possible in this stressful time.
