I arrived on a Sunday at 12 noon. The woman behind the counter was already not happy because there were about 12 people in line in front of me. All I wanted was 3 nips and I waited. When it was finally my turn, I asked for 3 nips of Admiral Nelson Rum. (These are the FACTS.) She asked me if I had searched for them in their multiple plastic jars of cheap shots. I had not. I told her that I did not work there and she should know better than I where they might be. She ended up getting them for me from under the counter.

I am sure she had a bad day after that.

I returned later in the day and put my foot in my mouth. I asked for 3 more nips of the Admiral and had to direct the person behind the counter to look down and open them up. I mentioned that a prior experience earlier with the woman there (a relative of the family) had made me nervous.

She then showed up and not only insulted me again, but said she would have me thrown out!!! I said all I want is my 3 nips and I will leave. I did.

Today, like a fool, I returned. The mother treated me well. The son, brother of the woman, followed me outside and threatened me. I have been going there for over 30 years. This could be called assault, and it certainly will never bring me back into that den of nepotism.
