Corner Market Silver Spring

"This store is a godsend. It is easily located near my house (when no other store is), is almost always open, and has everything I ever need; including some hard to find high-end sausages I love. The staff is not effusive, but always friendly and helpful."

"The owners/operators of this business are active racists, plain and simple. They harassed and insulted my 23 year old girlfriend for purchasing alcohol. My girlfriend, who is Asian, was repeatedly accused of using a fake ID (even before approaching the counter!) even after seeing and scanning a perfectly legal Maryland ID, they were incredibly rude. When I, a white man, have accompanied her here in the past - there were no major problems, though there was always a level of passive aggression that felt unprofessional. If she goes alone? They have problems, seem to wish they could refuse her service, make rude comments, unfounded accusations and the like. We thought this may have been racial profiling, so we googled them, and noticed the other reviews from people who had the same exact experiences. Based on this, and the other complaints below on the same topic, I feel comfortable labeling this business as racist and boycotting it. Walks like a duck, talks like a duck, etc. You should boycott it too - businesses like this have no place in the world."

"Ive lived here for 4 years and everytime I go to this store, there are two women whom I have an issue with. An older one with glasses and a shorter lady. I'm constantly followed and profiled by them and sadly I'm starting to wonder if its racially motivated. I'm 24 and my friends are also 21 but they rejected me purchasing beer today, yet I'm the only one who owns an ID. Ive bought wine there with my girlfriend and it went fine, didn't ask for her ID bc I had mine. But its always different when these two are there. My friend who are of mixed race also shop there and get nasty attitudes from these women and they feel uncomfortable shopping there. Its not their job to profile or to assume what i do with my purchases. it only inconvenienced me and its not right for them to judge and think that I'm just going to hand it off to underage kids."

"I saw the owner on the news, last Tuesday night on the internet. I had gone to many grocery stores to buy toilet paper, with no luck. I arrived Wednesday morning where the owner opened the door. He greeted everyone and chose the elderly customers to shop first. It was very organized, and orderly! He let 5 customers shop at a time, I was 3rd in line they allowed 2 items for products such as packages of toilet paper or paper towels and bottles of water, which was plenty. Very nice owner and staff. They also have special hours for seniors to shop on Saturday and Sundays I think the hours are 9:00 am until 10:00 am. I highly recommend this community grocery store!"

"We're so happy to have a market in the neighborhood! This is an extraordinary pharmacy. I never thought I'd put those words together. It is a world of difference from a place like CVS or Rite-Aid. The pharmacists know you, are familiar with your prescriptions and go above and beyond to ensure everything is right."
