And so does Colleen. Or at least she will when she visits for my birthday.
The new Kenwood Liquors has finally opened in the HG. Those of you from the Chicago area know that Kenwood has the cheapest prices in town. Cheaper than Binny's Beverage Depot, Sam's Club and all the grocery chains. Needless to say our excitement over the opening can hardly be contained given the amount of alcohol we consume. (Note to self: give recycling guy bigger Christmas tip.) My first trip to Kenwood was aggravating at best. After a several minute long argument with the cashier that the case of wine that was $7.99 per bottle should ring up cheaper that the case of wine that was $8.49 per bottle, I finally asked to speak with a manager who also had a difficult time grasping this. Turns out, I gave up and did not purchase the case of wine that was $7.99 per bottle. In the meantime the cashier rings everything up and boxes it up and a nice young guy aids in the carryout. As this guy is loading my car he apologizes for the cashier's mistake saying they just opened and are working out some kinks. I realize at this point that the cashier has boxed up two handles (that's what the college kids call them) of liquor that I did not purchase. I kindly and honestly point this out to the guy and he takes them back and apologizes again. I tell him that the cashier was DUMB AS A ROCK! And in today's economy when so many people are out of work it shouldn't be that difficult to find someone with half a brain to work as cashier. Not knowing how to respond he simply agrees with me. Smart move.
Yesterday I venture into Kenwood for another stock up. I buy a few cases of of wine, a few individual bottles of wine and a case of Corona. While I'm waiting for them to bring up my cases of wine many things ensue that make me realize that this cashier is also DUMB AS A ROCK! Sure enough, I get to my car and pull out my receipt only to realize that she charged me for just one 12 pack of the Corona. Normally I am an honest soul but this was just too much. I gladly drove home with my free beer.
Everyone should shop at the new Kenwood. If you purchase more that 3 items you're sure to get one free!
