Writer's Block: My Favorite Neighborhood Business
[Error: unknown template qotd]
The little liquor store/convenience mart is a favorite. Not only do they have good prices on cigarettes, but they special-ordered Cachaça for me. It's not really the brand I wanted and it was expensive, but they researched it and ordered it just because I asked. They also ordered the cigarette brand I wanted.
It's the personal service I like. They know me on sight and know what I want. And even though the Cachaça took a while to get in, the clerk kept me informed on their progress. And he threw in a couple of limes for free, and took notes on how to make a Caipirinha to explain to other customers if they asked what the Cachaça was.
