Ethioblue Store — Local services in Seattle

Tl;dr Store being dishonest about prices, staff being rude when disputing the price and even going as far as to buy priced labeled cans and upselling them. Do not bother with this location.

Bought an AriZona can here with a friend expecting to be charged 99 cents ( before tax) and being told it's $2.29. I disputed that wouldn't be right and the guy rings up the soda again, at a much lower price of $1.69.

It's run by a hardworking family who genuinely care about their customers, and it shows. I’ll really miss seeing the four wonderful people who run it—they always made my day just a bit better. Ethioblue is a great local business to support, and I can’t...

The timing said it was open till 10pm but we saw the lights dimmed inside around 9.40 and were unsure if it's shut or not. Apparently they'd closed. But he owner/ staff saw us peering outside & opened up the place for us! (on a Sunday night!!) and waited patiently for 5mins until we bought the stuff we wanted, and was extremely polite and nice about it. Really thankful!

P. S: Everything is obviously overpriced because it's right next to the Convention Centre. But you're paying for the convenience more than the...
