B & D’s Convenience Plus

Going in here is a great way to ruin your day…
You would think that a non-​corporate «mom and pop» shop would be big on customer service, cultivating and appreciating neighborhood loyalty. So it was beguiling to shop here for a number of months and repeatedly experience rude and surly behavior. How is it that these cashiers even have a job? Look up the phrase «angry, middle aged men» and you’ll see a shot of the staff.
It looks like their vendors have learned their lesson, too. They lost their Minnesota Lottery Tickets account and the inventory is sparse. I am a big believer in supporting locally-​owned businesses. And doing business in the neighborhood is just the right thing to do. But there’s no point in spending your dollar here.
