5 O'clock Wine & Spirits — Local services in Harrison Township

The Kindness of Strangers Yesterday the folks at 5 O’clock Wine & Spirits exhibited the kindness and compassion you wish you would experience everywhere. My friend and I stopped there to buy some wine and beer and while he went in I walked my dog, Molly. By the time he came out Molly was in her den at the back of the car and he wheeled the cart up to put the purchases in the passenger side back seat. Unfortunately, the cart started to roll toward the road and my friend turned quickly and started to chase it. As is easy to do at our age he moved too quickly lost balance and fell hard on the asphalt. Before we knew it, a kind shopper and Jim and Brian from the store rushed to our aid. They helped my friend to his feet and placed him in the car. They ran into the store getting paper towels to clean him up. Bleeding profusely from his head and knee, his injuries looked very alarming; and it was decided that the best course of action was for me to take him to the hospital. I was ready to leave for the hospital when the owner, Greg came over and asked how my friend was and if there was anything they could do. I explained to Greg that I had my dog with us and could not leave him in the car because of the heat nor could I take him into the hospital. Greg immediately said he would take care of Molly until I got back. Not to worry, he would take good care of her. We went around to the back of the car and Molly, who is usually suspicious of strangers practically leaped into his arms. Greg left with Molly, her dog bed and water bowl. I was flabbergasted; relieved and, yes, a little worried. I’d just left my beloved puppy with a total stranger! After four hours at the hospital and knowing my friend was going to be ok I went back to 5 O’clock Wine & Spirits and was delighted to find my Molly happy as could be in her bed covered with a blanket. In addition to Greg, Jim and Brian; Karen, Amy and Alex had taken excellent care of Molly. They all waved her goodbye as Molly trotted off to get back in the car. I can’t thank these folks enough for their compassion and kindness. I live in North Carolina and can’t make this my go-to liquor store but I will return and remember them always for their kindness...

As a (young looking) almost 22-yr-old woman, I can confidently say this liquor store succeeded in making me more uncomfortable than I have ever been in a liquor store before. Two employees came almost running up to me to ask me “what I’m looking for” literally 4 times even though I consistently told them what I was looking for. It wasn’t a normal “can I help you find anything?” So right away I’m uncomfortable and weirded out. Then one of the employees essentially hovered over me the entire time I was looking and I damn year put my stuff down and left the store. Anyways, I get to the register and, low and behold, the cashier was extremely rude and made weird comments about how I “just barely made it”, (talking about age I guess, which isn’t even true because I’ll be 22 in a month.) Didn’t even get a response when I told him “thank you, have a good night”, as one does when exiting the store. Obviously will not...

Happy Holidays? The store should be called 4:55 pm Wine & Spirits. Prices, variety/selections are 5 stars. Customer Service is consistently not good - drove into the parking lot to buy a last minute item on Christmas Eve (4:55 pm) and the tall guy at the door waved at my car with the "not open" sign with his hands....there were plenty of patrons still purchasing items when i pulled up. This wasn't the first time their service was not friendly, if not rude during the checkouts, weird comments,etc. Like I said, prices and selection are great...but a few of their staff(more than 1) need basic customer service training.....however, the older woman in the store is always nice and personable....so...
