used to be a great place for bbq but price just keep going up

I don’t usually shop at La Tapita, but I accompanied my mom there recently because she wanted to buy some tea. I picked up some fruit and a six-pack of IPA as well. When we were at the register, my mom asked the cashier for help reaching the tea, since we’re both on the shorter side. The cashier said she’d help as soon as she was done scanning my items, so my mom went to wait by the tea section.

After scanning my items, the cashier let me know the six-pack alone was $26, which seemed way overpriced. I asked her to void it and I went ahead and paid for my fruit, but even after all that, she still didn’t go to help my mom. Thankfully, the man working at the check-cashing section ended up helping her reach it.

As my mom was coming back to the register, a man approached the cashier. He seemed like he might be the owner, given his attitude. Unfortunately, he was extremely rude, coming over as though he knew what was going on—when he clearly didn’t. His unprofessional demeanor, not to mention noticeable eye issues, made us feel uncomfortable. Honestly, if it hadn’t been for my mom wanting the tea, I would’ve left it all there and ordered from Amazon instead, where it’s cheaper anyway.

Overall, between the lack of customer service and poor attitude from staff, I don’t think I’ll be returning anytime soon.
