Stay away at all costs
by ruttersew
Went to redeem a few bottles before purchasing beer and wine for the upcoming 4th weekend. A lady was unlocking the door to the redemption center and I greeted her with a smile and a "good morning". Her response, "wrong door, one person at a time." I laughed and she repeated herself. I quickly redeemed my bottles, entered the store and purchased the least expensive item I could find to use my redemption receipt. I left and went to Luke's just a short drive from Parker's Discount. I proceed to purchase over $300 worth of wine and beer. As Julie Roberts said in a scene from "Pretty Women"when she was treated with disrespect............"big mistake, big mistake!" I won't go back to Parker's but will purchase my alcohol from Luke's in the future. I could never understand why their parking lot is always empty....now I know.

Don't go to Parker's

I visited Parker's Discount Liquors redemption center today. When I received my ticket and went into the store to redeem it the slow clerk told me to write my name and address on the back of the ticket. I asked why and she very rudely said it was because it was over $20.00. I asked why that meant she needed my address and she said the state tracked any redemptions over $20 and if I didn't like it, not to come back. I have been going to redemption centers my whole life and have never had anyone ask for my address. I just read the Redemption Fact Sheet on the mass.gov website and it does not state anywhere that redemption centers must ask for a name and address on redemptions over $20. This store is lying to the public about the state requirements and who knows what they are actually doing with the names and addresses. I will take the clerks advice and never return.
