Tim's Handy Mart & Deli 402 Tacoma Avenue South, Tacoma, WA 98402

"I don't know about the best store I've had rude device a few times n don't ever buy coffee there it's horrible!! Prices are absolutely ridiculous......"

"While Tim and his immediate family members are pleasant to deal with, some of the other employees are downright unpleasant and will verbally assault people with little reason or basis in reality to do so. The markup on major items, too, also is a great reason to wipe this place off the map. For example, a store less than a tenth of a mile away charges $10.06 for name brand cigarettes, Tim's charges $13 to $14 dollars - prices subject to change based on the mood of whomever is behind the counter. With a bit of math, it's easy to see the (often) 30 to 45% markup. While this place does have it's family owned charm, it's also not without clear problems as well."

"Nice clean and bright store. My go-to stop when I need an item or two. My only concern is that the prepared food that they sell is usually old, inedible, severely overpriced and not fit for human consumption. How are you going to sell 2 chicken strips and some potato wedges from a cooler for $6.99!? Well it's called price gouging."

"The best family owned neighborhood store. Very friendly and supportive of the community. Highest recommendations. When ordering a freshly made gourmet sandwich at thrift prices, tell the lady you want orange cheese."

"The inventory was overpriced for a, Convenient Store. The person working the register didn't know what inventory he had , because when I asked if the store carried loaves of bread, and the person would point at the fidge by the door and say, "Top Shelf... Is there any?,. The person also let a stranger, who asked if they could start stealing things, and wanted to sell a stolen bike, to grab a free, personal cup, of "whatever the person filled their cup with. I have no intentions on going back, and personally do not recommend to my friends. But do not disqualify this place from your options on conscience. You could have a different experience than I did."
