I have a suggestion for folks going to Portland. I have been a resident of Portland Maine for a year and a half and have never been treated as poorly as I have at Joes on Congress Street. I never get a “hello” or “have a good night” or anything from this shop. The fact of the matter is, the clerks are not very friendly (there is a tall man I am thinking of in particular). Just today, I was cussed at (with f words among others) for canceling an item that I decided I did not want. The job can be stressful I know, I have done it, but clerks need to handle it with more class than this (my 6 pack was SLAMMED onto the counter after the canceled item)! I would recommend Pauls, 7-11, Hannaford or rite aid (and there are more places to go to) that are all in convenient areas of Portland and can deal with a canceled item with more grace. Do yourself a favor and don’t go to Joes Smoke shop! Otherwise, there are many friendly places here in Portland Maine.

Poor Joe's!

What you describe is part of Joe’s charm. Local color if you will. Probably not for tourists, but if you live in the neighborhood and go in often, after a year or two, you just might get a “hey”, or not.
