Cinder & Cruise — Local services in Windsor

These reviews are really brutal. On every exchange I've had with KD Singh, the owner, he has been very polite and friendly. Yes, he's of foreign descent. Yes, he's a little overpriced. But KD is a small business owner offering convenience in an area that has Costco and other big box stores, and sometimes, it's very hard for him to compete and keep his business running. Think about the cost of labor, utilities, licensing, large distributor costs, theft, insurance... It's alarming! So may I suggest going in, making his acquaintance, introduce yourself, let him know you're a local and that you live close by... Don't loiter around in a store without doing that. That's just stupid! Give him a chance and I'm sure you'll find what you need without bad mouthing a small business owner's reputation. And if you don't find what you're looking for, move on and ruin someone else's day like a big corporation (Walmart, Costco, Kroger, etc.). Small business owners need our help to secure their own sustainability in a corporate world. Be kind. Rewind. Invest in making someone's life easier. There's enough hardships going around made worse by inaccurate reviews....

Reading some of these posts makes me sad and mad! People are throwing accusations out there without validity. Granted I work here and have for 3 years. Within those 3 years I have seen people be mean because of prices, his accent, and his nationality. After a while it does ware a person down!!! Prices are higher than most, but he is able to pay above minimum wage, be in A Nice location along with a nice building, which aren't cheap!!! You have a choice in where you shop.... Walmart and Target carry the same things but have totally different prices. We are Grateful for Our Regular Customers and work hard at carrying what they like. We will continue to stride for Good Customer...

A week ago my wife came to this establishment for some crown royal apple whisky, the owner upsold to her the new and popular crown royal blackberry whisky and said he was the only one that sold it. Today he refused to sell to us because we're not regulars,then he proceeded to say if we spent 300 hundred dollars in his store, then we could buy another bottle. We aren't regulars because we live in another town, we drove 20 minutes to buy from him. When my wife proceeded to question why, he threatened to call the police. Worst customer...
