I hear the guy over the liquor program for Oak Point really values the customer experience. He probably came across the whiskey and is eager to spread the whiskey brotherhood to new individuals.

The old guy was.... the dude who's been there the past few months sucks. I don't shop there anymore because of him.

OPC used to be a destination in the area for solid bottles and beer selection. It’s gotten terrible since the change in liquor manager. New guy is rude and quit carrying a lot of the specialty stuff that used to make it worth going there

The guy who came in from the other store sucks. They had a good guy to replace the guy from 6 months ago but they fumbled that decision and ended up with the guy who sucks. I don't shop there anymore.

What Glock said. New dude has single-handedly caused that store a loss of a number of longtime customers. If you like a large dose of arrogance served with a side of smug and snide comments along with your alcohol, then you will enjoy your experience. Otherwise, fuggitaboutit.

I'll admit, I don't drink much and know very little about alcohol other than beer and wine. The guy working there was about as much of an arse as one could be. F that place.
You really should try and help people, and form good relationships, not be a prick when a new guy is asking questions and trying to learn.

I've heard the customer experience and service has gone south since that one guy left and especially since the Big Dog left?
