In all my 54 years, I've never heard anyone call this little country store anything other than HILLTOP. My daughter and I were using this store as a meeting point to exchange my grand daughter who'd been with me the previous week, but had I said " Let's just meet at Wade's ", she would have Google mapped it for directions believing she was unfamiliar with it. It has been several years since I'd been at HILLTOP, and as I was inside deciding what soda I wanted, looking around I marveled at how it looked as it did 10,20 years ago! I remarked to the extremely pleasant ( another feature that has remained the same) lady ringing up my Mt Dew, I wonder how many years this ole building has really been here...( it doesn't appear to have actually aged as all things do). She didn't know the answer, and I added " I'm glad to see it's still going strong!" Meaning still in business. It's just a quaint, rather ordinary little mom and pop type store (& small deli) to my best description of this vintage,general store from another era that has evolved just a little to still service the community!

I thought she was the owner so I thought that was very unprofessional and quite inappropriate for an owner.
I saw the other lady using her bare hands to make my sandwich. When I asked why she didn’t wear gloves she got defensive with me and then began being rude to me and my partner. Every time we’ve ever come here it’s been absolutely poor service and I’ve tried not to leave a review but frankly I’ve heard to many negative things to keep quiet.
The owner seems rude to customers and staff. I feel bad for them I’m sure there is a high turn over . I wouldn’t want to work for her either.
Ps. They DONT seem lgbtq friendly or friendly to those who aren’t white.
DON NOT GIVE YOUR BUSINESS!! SHE NEEDS TO...
