BevMo!

The Bevmo in San Mateo has the variety you expect but carries other things other Bevmo stores don't, such as general household items. Convenient if you're in a pinch for something like over the counter pain reliever, shampoo or women's feminine products.

The cashier working yesterday was so awesome, she made me one happy person for the rest of my day with her happy sweet personality. Wish I knew her name to give this compliment.

Bought 5 bottles for a gift for a friend in Modesto. I screwed up on their preferred brand so I went to the local Redwood City store to exchange. I had the original receipt with me. The senior person there, Jacob, asked if it was purchased from this store. I said no, Modesto. He said they could not exchange it. Why, I asked? He said because their computer system was very antiquated ('DOS based' he said' like with the green screens') and that they had no way of verifying the purchase, and that it would screw up their inventory. Really? He asked for my bevmo club card number for the same computer system that evidentally cannot communicate with each other...hmmm...
I checked online and the Bevmo web site's return policy said nothing of the sort. This information fell on deaf ears with Jacob. He said I would have to take it to Modesto!
I drove to the San Mateo store and they gladly did my exchange and took in more money too as I upgraded my exchange. I wish I had asked for her name as she was beyond helpful and nice. She took care of my exchange without question and was happy to do it.

Well done San Mateo!

Not well done; Jacob and Bevmo Redwood City.

I was looking for a premium tequila and bottle of Asti as last minute gifts before a Christmas trip to Vancouver. I decided on Clase Azul Reposado which comes in a nice bottle. Was also able to find Cinzano which is my favorite Asti, but can be hard to find. The staff was very helpful and the lady at the checkout was super nice.

Parking available. Right next to freeway. Be careful the entrance is on the smaller E. Hillsdale Blvd next to chevron gas station not on the E. Hillsdale Blvd where the free way entrance would be.
