so as drab as this lcbo looks from the outside, it still pack a decent punch. they have a large selection of canadian wine and spirits and sections for france, south america, california, italy and greece i think.
youd think thered be a chinese section, but alas, no.
everyone here is very helpful. ive got some good recommendations before. its never too packed. ummmm, there is always someone outside asking for change. (i think thats a requirement now.)
finally, like those strange yet fun bus drivers you get wholl give their passengers a rolling tour or running commentary on their streetcar rides, there is a woman who works at the cash who loves to talk.
often to herself.
and to the customers. shes very bright and bubbly. she adorns every interaction with a flourish of niceties, like "OOOOH THE ROSEMOUNT, GREAT CHOICE" and "HOWS EVERYONE DOING TODAY". its not even what she says; they are pretty mundane sentiments, but she says them with so much pizazz that in actuality it makes you feel the exact opposite of what is intended by the words used. you get the vibe that shes piping up like this to help counteract the boiling impulse to reach across the counter and stab you in the eye with a corkscrew.
but hey shes a great character study. -
Review from Paul S.

This place has to be the armpit of the LCBO chain. There are a couple of creepy staff guys here, like the one who says he swiped your Air Miles card, when you know he didn't. Or better yet, the other staff dude who says it doesn't matter if they don't swipe every time bc if you don't spend at least 25 bucks, it doesn't show up!!! Well, that is bs and more importantly, why would you say something like that? If it's just wine you're looking for, head over to the Wine Rack at Loblaws, where they always seem happy, glad to see you & even know your name & what you drink. As different as day & night. & you don't have to deal with bums out front.
