Downtown Market — Local services in Portland

This store gets 2 stars for having a decent food selection, but other than that, id say find somewhere else to go. These guys like to make prices up on the fly nevermind the ad. Upon pointing out a sign for an advertised price after noticing the deal wasnt applied to my purchase, the owner(i think) went and took the sign down on the spot and told me they weren't doing that anymore. I guess providing customer to a now old regular and several hundred dollar a month customer wasnt worth taking something like .75 cents off. Not only that, but both my girlfriend and i have caught them over charging us more than once and ive heard of several other incidents from other patrons. How many time i not catch it i wonder. The people that run the place are very rude, with exception of the like 80 year old guy that works there from time to time. They will literally follow you around the store and essentially accuse you of stealing , myself included even though i was going there pretty much daily and have even notified the owner when his cash drawer was wide open and unattended one time i went in when i could have very easily grabbed everything and been gone. Ive never even thought about stealing from their store and am generally a pleasant, in and out customer. If you decide to come here, be prepared to be insulted and over charged. Dont be surprised if he asks you to empty your pockets or if he sighs and starts muttering in his 'ching yong tang' in obvious irritation if you ask him to refill the coffee machine. its best to just not ask...

I lived across the street from the store for 21 years but boycotted it over 5 years ago because the former owners were so very abusive of my very visually impaired self anytime I needed to try to locate something I couldn't see right off the bat. They also loves to short change me regularly. The fact that I quit smoking in late February 2020 help with my decision to stay away. But today I needed soda really bad and our machine has been ripping us off So after talking to a couple of neighbors, I decided to risk going over. A young gentleman named Simon was quite helpful. In fact he even had to look a but for my coke. I teased him about that a bit and told him how happy I was to be able to come back in and be treated well. I asked his name and gave him mine and he said I'm welcomed anytime and to be safe and use my name. That's what customer service...

well, at least it was funny. I had a very interesting experience like never before. An owner literally just laughed in my face for asking where the gum is, and then said something in Chinese and continued laughing and saying something in Chinese as I went to grub it. There were NO PRICE TAGS whatsoever so maybe I was overcharged, who knows..Then he checked me out and said have a good night 2 times, either because he's high on some kind of tea or because he really wanted me to...
