expired food on shelves. the employees are nice but act as though your purchase is an inconvenience. and no matter what you buy, the transaction is painfully long for no reason. unfortunately they’re the only convenience store in the mall so if you really need/want something it’s your only choice.

They don’t have change for a 50 to give me I can’t buy anything

They charge $1.25 for a .99 cent can of Arizona. That alone should say it all.

Great stand. Have fountain drinks, snacks, hot coffee and bottles beverages. They also have news papers magazines, etc...

Incredibly expensive for no reason. They have the AUDACITY to chard $1.50 for an Arizona ice tea.

The man who runs the place is very rude and aloof. He does not say hello or thank you. He acts like he is doing the customer a favor by being there. Don't go here and waste your time and money.

Don't buy cigarettes there! They sold me 2 packs that were completely stale and they refuse to exchange or refund my money. After 12 years .. Never again will I spend a dime there. Losers!

I bought 2 packs of Newport 100s from this place and they were stale. I brought it back to the newsstand and they would not refund nor replace the stale cigarettes I purchased for almost $24. I would never spend another dime with this page ever again. They treated me like crap!

LOOSER does not pay pay bills.. Bounced 2 checks in a row for under $35 .. RUDE on the phone. DONT GO THERE.

I guess the oxymoron of being called the "Street Corner News" on the inside of the mall was too much to bear, so this place has changed its name to the "Court Side News" (and presumably gone indy) as in, by the side of the Food Court, not, say, beside the courts of Madison Square Garden. Yes, in a mall so sad they couldn't even keep the Street Corner News franchise. It is a fitting store for the pre-dead Rotterdam Mall; it is a news stand, which (please see photographic evidence I have provided herein) has no news for sale. No newspapers, no magazines, not even a TV turned to CNN. I will repeat that: it is a news stand where they have no news. (Perhaps it is a Godotesque purgatory; the two proprietors did have an Estragon and Vladimir air about them.) It is a micro, tiny, teensy weensy midget convenience store, with bad snack food and drinks and some hot coffee by the cup, and many many many lottery tickets for sale, this latter seemingly the source of the bulk of their business. In a mall. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite so incongruous, but in the pre-dead mall, these are the signs of what fate must inevitably befall us all. That strange surreal sense that the grim reaper is just around the corner (at Chess King or Orange Julius, no doubt, or at least at Spencer's Gifts), waiting for us to finish buying our Red Bull and Megamillions tickets so we can head over, refreshed and emboldened, to the saddest K-Mart ever to "anchor" a "mall". That, friends, is the Court Side / Street Corner News, Rotterdamned of the Dead Mall version, courtesy of Samuel Beckett.
