Global Wine and Spirits — Local services in Wichita

Have gone here for years but will cease doing so as they have instituted a new policy in which they are passing their credit/debit card charges the business usually pays on to the consumer. So instead of paying the advertised price you see when you’re grabbing the beverage off the shelf, there’s really a hidden price of 4%-5% more if you’re using a card. When you get up to the counter, you find out you get the benefit of paying extra because you use a card instead of cash.

If this was clearly stated with each bottle on the shelf (e.g. $10.50 cash, $10.92 card), the consumer would at least have the chance to make an informed decision before they get to the checkout instead of feeling hoodwinked when they happen to catch the discrepancy at checkout. This is just bad business.

This practice completely ignores the basic tenants of microeconomics, namely, substitutes. There’s a liquor store substitute on the other side of La Cross; why would you make a policy like this knowing that? Moreover, within a two mile range there are several more options, importantly, Jacobs, who already has lower prices but is slightly less convenient.

If anything, set the cost the card paying customers will pay (subtotal) at the shelf and give cash paying customers a discount at the counter. Then cash paying customers are happily surprised and card paying customers will pay what they thought they’d pay, most being blissfully unaware they’re even...

I bought a sealed box case of Seagrams Ice from their cooler. Being sealed there is no way of inspecting the bottles. When I got home there was 1 broken bottle and the case was dry. I called and the man I bought it from himhawed and said he would call the owner and contact me. He called me in telling me she wanted to call me tomorrow to let me know what she would do. She never called. By 5 o'clock I took the box and broken bottle back to them. The clerk was extremely rude and said she was out of town. It was only $1.25; a buck and a quarter I'll never forget. I suggest shopping where customers are treated...

Bought two small beers advertised at 3 dollars a piece and the total came out to 18$. I had already put my card in the machine before she finished ringing me up and the lady cleared it out and kept the receipt before I could get a good look at it. I should have asked to check but the lady was so nice I didn't realize she was a grifter until it was too late. Wouldn't buy from here if you value your money.

Edit: If you'd take a bank statement I would love a refund. As I stated in my review. I wasn't...
