West View Tobacco Beer Outlet

"They always have some sort of special near the door. It might be a very good beer that is close to its expiration date on the label. Then his brows through the store they have almost everything imaginable from high-end beers in cases or six packs or four packs of 16 oz. Don't forget that carts are available along the left wall. They should probably make them more accessible cuz how can you buy more than one or two cases without a cart."

"I've been shopping at this beer distributor for some time, haven't had a problem before today. Some employees have been helpful in the past, others made neither a good or bad impression, just processed me as a customer, with no problem. Today, I stopped in, wearing a mask, which is optional, and I choose to do it. Whether it actually helps, I can't say for sure, but I feel it beats doing nothing in the current situation. It's not that big a deal to me. Anyway, today, the salesperson (wearing a Reagan/Bush 1984 shirt) waits on me, didn't seem to have a problem with me at first. After paying for my beer, he glances at a maskless customer that walked through the door, and broadcasts "that's what I like to see, a customer without a mask". Apparently, my wearing a mask offends him. What he doesn't know is that a relative of mine was buried last week, after spending the better part of the past month in an ICU due to COVID. The spouse of this relative is still hospitalized, not sure if recovery will happen. I can't understand how a business that wants to be profitable allows this kind of behavior from it's employees. After reading the previous reviews, this store wants a certain kind of customer. I'm not one of them anymore."

"This is the best beer distributor ever! Their selection and prices are impeccable! The employees are very personable, outgoing, welcoming, respectful, and they all have a great sense of humor. They always make my experience fun and pleasant! Especially the one guy, Jimmy. He is the best! Concerning the masks and Covid, they do not force people to wear masks. They allow everyone to make their own decisions with what they are comfort with; it’s called civil liberties. This used to be America, remember?!?!"

"I love this place!! It had an excellent selection of beer. All the employees were very helpful and courteous during these troubling times. Especially the gentleman in the green and white shirt from the previous comment. So to all who are reading this, I don't know what that person was talking about, but all of the employees have always been so respectful and amazing everytime I'm there. I will always continue to shop here, because their prices and selections are great, and their employees make me feel comfortable and welcome!"

"Zero star rating! I live in West View and go to West View Plaza regularly. I went here back in April 2020, right when COVID-19 cases were starting to rise but before masks were mandated. The guy ringing me out (pictured now in the white and green shirt) made fun of me for wearing a mask. Then and there I resolved not to shop at Sams again. Time passed on and I thought maybe I shouldn't boycott an entire business due to one, possibly temporary employee. So I went back there today (August 14, 2020) after doing some food shopping, and there's this same guy again (white and green shirt). Not wearing a mask as soon as I walk in the door. Several other customers were in the store as well. I was livid. I watched him ring out other customers without putting a mask on or even the bandana around his neck. I tired to get a picture of him doing so, but I think he saw me and backed out of my view behind a display with a wide grin on his face. I eventually caught him off guard and got the picture attached to this review. (There's another older guy not wearing his mask either). I left without buying anything. I guarantee that this guy (white and green shirt) would have said something to me if I bought something. He obviously has no care or regard for the health and safety of customers, people in general, the law, and clearly gets off on watching other people notice him not wearing a mask. Regardless of his position on the companies totem pole, this place should be shut down as it is clearly a company wide promotion to not wear a mask. I will be contacting the Pennsylvania state governors office immediately after submitting this review and spread the word far and wide to not shop here."
