RB Convenience — Local services in Rehoboth Beach

We stopped on the way to beach to get an $109 umbrella and $15 base.The store clerk did not provide a receipt but I thought today electronic transactions create records on stores. When we arrived on the beach, we noticed the umbrella was for patio due to each its tall height, long wooden base, and was not adjustable. Since this umbrella was not for beach use, couple hours later, I returned to the store to and return/exchange umbrella because we thought we could find another umbrella, the store manager said “no returns on beach umbrellas” - without any explanation whatsoever. That was an odd response. First, the store did not issue a receipt; second, all items should be subject to returns unless you buy an item like coke bottle and opened it. When I tried to explain the situation about the umbrella, he wanted to show flexibility and buy another umbrella the same size - they didn’t have one - then he changed his mind and offered to buy something else - no refunds/no returns- but why? Why do I have to buy something that I don't need. However, since we were on the beach area, I said ok, I will look for a beach chair. All of a sudden, he saw that the umbrella had traces of sand, then, he changed his mind again and said "no returns - you must keep it." If the umbrella was placed in the trunk with chairs from the beach then there was sand. So, I decided to leave the store at once. Definitely an unacceptable way to run business and misleading customers by selling items like umbrellas for a beach use that are in fact for patio use - do whatever to make a profit . Will someone from the local community keep a close check to stores like this one? Obviously , the name of the store called "RB Convenience" hits any visitor/tourist like myself with high prices and taking advantage of its close proximity...

I love this place! We stop here every morning for lottery tickets and small do dads we think we need! Yesterday I found this little bottle that had a note in it called a wishing jar and I got a postcard since I collect them. The total was only 3 dollars! This place is always very clean and you can find almost anything there! The owners are very sweet and give us little scratches every time we buy lottery tickets! About 2 days ago I also bought a bar of soap there and a little turtle. We come here every day. Definitely recommended for people who need to pick up little things before we go...

Last week we were in Rehoboth and our future son-in-law proposed to our daughter! He proposed on the beach. He wanted a small pouch to put the ring in to keep it safe in his pocket. I went into RB Convenience and asked if they had anything like that. The store owner (I assume) gave me a small drawstring pouch that worked perfectly. He didn't even charge me anything for it. He played a part in a very happy day...
