Great selection of beatbox beverages but I was wondering you could carry the new hard tea flavor as well

Used to be a convenient friendly corner market, now it's just another high priced, foreign owned corner store. They are never open on time, (now opens at 830 am on weekdays - used to open 6 or 7 am when it was locally owned) does not carry a decent variety of items any more. Very disappointing neighborhood shop. I miss the old family that used to own this place.

Be careful at this place some of the items that they sell are are EXPIRED!! I was in a rush and did not have the energy to dissect my purchase at the store to check for the expiration dates on all the items I purchased which came out to $52.75 (4/28/22 at 9 34 am). I noticed when I got home that the Pringles reduced fat (25% less fat) that they sold me are expired!! The date at the bottom of the can says "best by 11/21/2020). So they just sold me an item almost 1.5 to 2 years expired!! That is Unacceptable in my POV. I will make sure NOT to RUSH at this so called convenience store when & if next time I shop there. BTW there was NO phone # on the receipt and when I looked it online the # 617 354 5616 is NO Answer!!! - Hell NO!!

Friendly but extremely overpriced. Paid $10 for 15 dishwasher tablets! Another time I had to pay $0.50 more on a $2 item to pay with a credit card. Service is indeed friendly.

I work close by and my boss gives me a company card to purchase snacks for our break room. I have been going to Friendly Corner for years for this purpose and have had mixed experiences, but mostly good ones for the first several years. Lately, however, most of my experiences have been negative.
A few weeks ago, I wanted to purchase some sour cream and noticed at the register that it was expired so I switched it out. This prompted me to check all expiry dates on products from then on and I have since found MANY expired products. Right now there is a stack of refrigerated dips that are all expired by a month or more for example. I've also seen moldy pastries on the shelf several times.
If that's not enough of a health hazard for you, well maybe this next part will be. Recently I purchased several bags of pork rinds. When I got back to the office, I noticed that all of them had holes towards the bottoms of the bags. It looked like they had been chewed through in multiple places. I immediately returned to the store and was told that they have rats because of the pizza restaurant next door. They exchanged the bags for fresh ones that I confirmed were perfectly sealed but I left wondering, if they know they have rats, why haven't they done anything about it? I can now, weeks later confirm that they still have not done anything about this because today I went to purchase some pork rinds and all 5 bags of the spicy ones on the shelf have chew holes in them.
Perhaps the worst part about this place is that they do not honor prices on their already overpriced items. Weeks ago I was going to purchase a box of tea. The person at the register proceeded to pull the price tag off the box and ring it in at a higher price. When I asked about this, I was told that the price was wrong and they would not honor it. But, that's not even as bad as the fact that I have noticed that often, they will scan a product, it will ring up as one price and they will void it and ring it up at a higher price. Today, I purchased a container of cream cheese that when scanned rang up as $4.49. The cashier voided it, then rang it up as a random grocery item for $4.99. I also purchased a Jack Links beef stick which had an original sticker price of $2.99, then a newer label on top with a price of $1.99 and was charged $2.79. (Please see my photos below for reference.) The prices at this store are already super high as it is, so tacking on even more at the register is just awful. I recommend always requesting a receipt so that you can check if you've been swindled. Most of the workers will not give you a receipt unless you ask for it.
I kept giving them chances since they are very convenient for me and hoped they would improve, but if anything they are getting worse. They may be friendly here, but they certainly are not honest or responsible business people. I will never be returning to this store and will instead take our business down the street to 7-11 and/or VIP Convenience.
Caveat emptor!

Just went into the store to buy Diet Coke. Much of the products seemed scant. I opened the beverage door about three times looking at the bottles to see if any were diet. The owner went wild! She started screaming at me, to stop opening the door which, mind you was for only seconds. I told her I was looking for diet soda and she kept screaming that they did not have any and I can see the bottles without opening the door. I told her that sometimes the word "diet" is on the other side of the bottle. It did not matter what I said. She was flailing her arms and yelling for me to get out of the store! I said that this was absurd for her to be screaming and yelling and treating me so disrespectfully! I said that this was a neighborhood store and I had come in for years and never had I seen such abject ignorance and disrespect and it would not be tolerated. I let her know I was also visually impaired and sometimes it is hard to see some small writings. "I know! out of the store" she kept screaming. I am distressed and appalled! I do not recommend this store! In my opinion, this hideous owner does not deserve neighborhood business in this UNFRIENDLY corner!!!!!

The women that served me at 10:00 pm tonight was very unpleasant and full of negative vibrations. The guy that work that normally work night shift is a very handsome articulate Hindu gentleman with a beautiful smile and good vibes, she is the total opposite in every way. The woman is unpleasant in every way.

Me and my son came in the store and immediately Tony started making friends with me and my son. I felt at home with my family. Great service, Great new management and so many more choices than before. We all have to support this store in the community. Great for people.

Friendly corner is a good run in run out store and the prices are a little more for a convenience store. Also I bought two things of chips and we didn't eat any and it it looks like someone ate them if you look below.
