Candy & Corks — Restaurant in Duck

Darling little shop, but unfortunately, quite rude. My son and his three friends (and one adult sister) made purchases and when one of the boys began to open his purchase- already paid for- he was sharply reprimanded by the woman working there. The boys were then told to leave immediately or she was going to call the police. The boys had no idea what the problem was. One of them even asked what the problem was, to which she kept replying to leave and or she would call the police. The boys left and will not return, a shame given how much time we spend in Duck, but this was a lesson learned in “you can vote with your dollars.” For my husband and I, there are enough other places in town with a nice wine selection; Tommy’s, Winks, etc. One of the boys recorded the interaction, and it was clear they were not instigating a problem.

Edited now that I see the owner’s lovely response. Clearly this owner’s poor attitude is an ongoing issue, as other reviews have noted. We continue to patronize other options in Duck. Oh, and the boys you mentioned? They’re doing fantastic, thank you. All successful young men, off to college with merit and service...

Super cute store but the woman working (I believe the owner based on my husband’s convo) was so short with him. He was trying to make light convo. I nearly asked my husband to put down the bag of jelly beans we were about to purchase, but he kept chatting to be nice. Maybe a bad day? Maybe because my 4 year old was with us and he’s learning “no touching”? but sheesh it certainly would help business to have better customer service. I see I’m not alone in my experience based on other reviews. So unfortunate for this beautiful and family-oriented community. Avoiding this place in future visits.

Adding an edit to make note of the owner's response to this review. No apology, lack of accountability for the encounter and condescending tone. This is not how you acknowledge a negative review. From other reviews on similar encounters as mine, maybe the owner should not be in a customer service role. Very...
