North Branch Municipal Liquors

They have an impressive collection of nonalcoholic beers. I was traveling and picked up a couple of packs of varieties that I've never tried before.

I came here looking or a place to find some Minnesota Beers. They have a decent selection of beers and liquors. The cashier was friendly though wasn't much help when asked about a Minnesota Bourbon as he said he didn't drink bourbon so couldn't really help me with a suggestions. The other worker, however, was a young man who seemed reluctant to ask if I needed any help with anything when he finally did approach me, then was visibly agitated when I actually had a question for him. He wasn't much help as he stated that he doesn't drink anything made in Minnesota, and clearly was just trying to get our conversation over with. I did buy some overpriced Minnesota Beer that the young man did finally mention, though he had never tried it himself. This four-pack of beers actually had a leak in one of the cans that I did not notice till the next morning when there was a ring of beer around the four-pack on the shelf in the fridge. The workers there were different when we went to return the beers. They exchanged the beers with no problem. These workers were more helpful than the previous guy. This place has a convenient location, typical prices, and decent selection for what I have seen so far in the area. I will continue to return to this place when I'm in this area.

Management is very open and receptive to job seekers. They respond to inquiry and questions very quickly and the don't do anything peace meal there which I like. If they refuse you work they will politely tell you and at least give a valid excuse. You don't often get that in business these days. The parking lots are neat and no pot holes are present that I can see. The store is clean and in good order.The reason I am not giving them a five is because I question what they ultimately define as qualified work experience. You don't need to be a expert whine taster to work at a liquor store you just need to have some basic experience behind a register and be able to check I.Ds.
