Johnston's Market

Honestly, the owner was extremely rude to me for no reason at all. I came in, retrieved my items, greeted him, and he treated me so disgusting. He slammed my card on the counter, and damn hear got mad when I asked if he had a bag. I don't know if he was racist or having a bad day, but I didn't do anything to deserve to be treat as such. Especially when I'm supporting his small business by purchasing his prices over priced stuff.

Horrendous customer service. The people running the place are just incredibly rude overall. Not only was the lady at the cash register rude and dismissive upfront when I asked a question. The same lady and another worker proceeded to trash-talk me and my friend in Korean in a racist manner... We walked right out.

Very convenient and the prices aren't exorbitant especially given it's location. I bought a bottle of water and Hershey's candy for less than $3. The Graduate Hotel where I stayed wanted $5 just for the same bottled water.

This is a bad place to shop at.Now called Durant Market.I walked into the store to buy a pack of cigarettes.The owner told me that they cost $ 8.00 a pack.I handed him a $ 20.00 bill and he played with the money then gave me $ 2.00 back.When I told him that he still owed me $ 10.00 more he pointed at the camera and told me that he would call the police.I told him that he should do so.He didn't and kept telling me to get out of his store.So I got screwed and ended up paying $18.00 for an $ 8.00 pack of cigarettes.If you have to go to buy something then the best advise I can give anyone is to pay with exact change or you to will get ripped out like I did.BEWARE THE OWNER OF THIS STORE IS A THIEF.DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM HERE IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO.GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Johnston's Market offers all the usual of a mini-mart: beer, wine, snacks, cigs, sodas, ice cream, groceries. beers in six packs a bit pricery (bud lite 6/10.99). not many minimarts around here so it's take it or leave it. i mostly left it.drink: arizonia tea (.99)-just shopping for valuedrips:-5 stars if you really need the stuff here and don't want to travel-3 stars for value or lack thereof.

The happiest place on Earth! The cheapest tall cans in Berkeley, I go here eight days a week!Mr Choi is a very nice man, though his lack of English fluency may make him seem disinterested or curt. If that's a problem for you, I suggest one of the many bars outside.

NEVER coming back here again! The store employee was SUPER RUDE to me and my friend and called us horrible degrading names that no female deserves to be treated in that way. I had to call the police because the employee refused to continue verbally assaulting us. The store owners were also super rude and unkind to their customers. Telling all my friends to never shop there again.

As almost everyone below has said before Johnston's Market is your on-campus stop for Dionysian debauchery. It is a lovely mini-mart that offers a wider range of low to high end beer...and wine if you're some French elitist prick from I-House trying to impress your pretentious bourgeoisie-feigning harpy girl. BTW, thanks buddy for blocking my Heinekens for a grueling 10 minutes as you judged the merits of a 1987 Napa vs a 1986 Sonoma. It must have been really important that you have that full-bodied aroma, huh? You should have gone with the jug of Rossi or box of Franzia because blacked out inebriation is the only way you would have been laid anyways, you fucking ostentatious douche.As long as we're discussing sins here, Johnston's also has a good amount of cigarettes that I found to be much cheaper than Wheland's Smoke Shop. They have a decent eclectic selection of Nat Sherman's, Djarum Blacks (oh you hipsters), and used to carry Mild Sevens before they all disappeared in America ( I blame this on witchcraft).Johnston's is open decently late so you still have time to stumble on over after Beat-the-Clock at Bear's Lair for round two back at your apartment! Then head out for some karaoke across the street woohoo!I always greet the old Korean man with a friendly "Anyung-haseyo" whenever I enter the store. I think I really annoy him as I am by no means Korean and am probably butchering the language. Oh well, "gum sup nii daa yooo"TL;DR: Shot shot shot shot shot shot shot shot shot shot shot shot shot shot shot shot ::pause:: EVVEEERRRYYYBOOOODAAAYYY!!!! Wait...there's no hard alchy here....

The service is terrible, overpriced compared to other groceries in the area, the cashier is flat-out rude. Avoid at all costs.

This is quite impressively the worst service I've ever encountered at any business. The amount of sass coming from the lady at the counter is exactly what nobody ever needs.
