Mill St Liquor

For starters, the owner of this place is pretty rude - he didn't even respond to a friendly "How are you today, Sir?" After I made my purchase, he seriously tossed my change on the counter and didn't even say anything as he did it. He's the guy who chose to open up a liquor store in the middle of a sketchy part of town, where the parking lot is overrun by drug addicts, drunks and vagrants. Still, he shouldn't treat EVERY person like they steal from him, hate him or wish him any ill will.Anyway, this place is packed pretty tightly. It has your standard liquor store items: Liquor (duh), sodas, beer (absolutely no craft beer here), chips, nuts, gum and various snacks and treats. It also has a little of your daily necessities like paper plates, napkins, canned dog food, toilet paper, etc.I can't stress enough how packed this place is. If you have any sort of belly (like I do), you'll be sucking in your gut to shimmy through the aisles.On my way out, three different people asked me if they could "borrow" a quarter. I finally gave in to the last guy and gave him a few bucks because he said he was going to buy a taco at the El Tepeyac Restaurant located in the same plaza. After I gave him $2.00, he hugged me (at which point I realized he was drunk or had recently showered using a bottle of liquor) and immediately walked passed the restaurant and straight into the liquor store. My bad....should've seen that one coming.

I got a little lost on my way to the dump and needed some Monster Energy. When I pulled into the parking lot two tweekers were having a Pinata party with an aluminum included. It turns out the entire area is a dump, so I just unloaded there and headed off for civilization.

I come to this liquor store a lot to get my lotto soda my granddaughter gets her reward for the day for doing so good at school.. yes it's in the ghetto.. I live in the San bernaghetto so I'm use to it unlike some comments I read about it being in ghetto bad area which the ppl who left the comments show other cities their from they aren't from here.. the owner has never been rude towards me or anyone I no so very polite and my granddaughter goes in and tells him I'll trade u this candy (one she brought from home and the owner knows it's from home) for that candy and he does the shake on it to like business ppl lol it's cute.. this store has almost all u could need very convenient for ppl who live close and don't have a vehicle saves them walking forever in a day to get what they need.. I've lived here in San bernaghetto for 5 yrs u get to knowing good places to go and what lerks around and what goes bump in the night.. you don't go looking for trouble u won't get trouble... but with that said I like this store the owner is awesome and kind if u worry about what lerks out there go in the day time they usually don't bother with u.. I've never had ppl come up ask me for money at all.. now go to jack n the box them ppl wait for u in the drive threw line and pester also gas station bug bug for money but I've never been asked that at this store
