Golden Pond Sundries

"Don't go here. Take a few more steps to 7Eleven instead. Stopped in to buy a travel hairspray for $6. Made small friendly talk with the older gentleman and asked what his nationality was. He berated me and yelled "why are you asking? Are you the police? I was born and raised here why you do want to know?" Even with a broken English he spoke, I clarified I'm just asking what his nationality was. He shoved his ID in my face and saw he had a foreign name. He started cursing and yelling as I walked out the door and told him it was unacceptable and inappropriate to be rude, esp being an owner at a small convenience store. Will avoid at all costs."

"I had a great experience - the owner was super friendly and they have a good supply of snacks."

"If I could give zero stars I would. There is a 7-Eleven next door, save time and money and go there instead. The staff at 7-Eleven are really sweet too! Anywho, I went in to this Golden Pond Sundries looking for detergent and was going to get my bf a Gatorade since he wasn’t feeling too well. The fridge was excessively packed with Gatorade and when I reached in to grab the flavor I wanted a Gatorade ended up tipping over and spilling. I asked the older man at the register if he had a towel so I could clean the spill and I was very apologetic. Instead, he yelled at me “you’re paying for that!” And he complained about having to clean the mess. He started using foul language and kept slamming the register. I told him he didn’t have to be rude and I was okay with paying for the Gatorade that fell. He not only used foul language but did so yelling at me. He proceeded to keep using inappropriate language and charged $17 on my card. DO NOT GO HERE! Go to 7-Eleven instead!!!!"

"He is super rude and all the water and things he is selling are way more expensive than any other store in Waikiki. He even curse on me and I was scared and very disappointed. He should not be in the business specially working with customers. He doesn’t know how to regulate his emotions. I will definitely skip shopping there."

"Owner is a very very sweet man with great service. There was a day where I went in there twice and he recognized me and noticed that I was buying some medical supplies. He got concerned and asked if I got hurt. We conversed a little more and he said, “I hope you get better,” with a sincere, genuine smile when we were saying our goodbyes. Prices are high, but the point is that it’s there for your convenience and emergencies. I was able to find things I couldn’t find at the 7/11 next door if I needed it quick and at walking distance."
