Liquor store lol - I don't know what this means

[jane6672]

I went to check out, and the cashier greeted me with "Hey lady, haven't seen you in here in awhile."

I mumbled "heh" because I figured it was his normal little customer chat, but then he said "you have a face that is easy to remember."


He thinks I'm going to knock over the joint, and he's warning me that he knows what I look like, right?

[LeggsBenedict]

1. He wants you to touch his boy stuffs.
OR
2. You scare the shit out of him.

[jane6672]

Well "easy to remember" doesn't sound that flattering, so I'm going with #2. People have told me I'm frightening.

[PeonyParty]

He's either hitting on you or dropping hints that you have a drinking problem.

[margotmacomber]

I'm always afraid the liquor store people will start to recognize me.  Except the one in my hometown where MIL is bffs with the owners.

It has seriously been a few months since I've last seen this guy working there.

But then, a few weeks ago the lady cashier told me "You look like you've had a hard day. Feel better." Soooooooooooooo...

The liquor store owner in my town knows me. But it's a small town.

My H does not drink at all but went in to get me some wine. He went up to the counter and the owner said, "oh no, that's not what your wife likes. Here I'll show you." Ha!

Now that's a good shop owner.

It's so funny to me that people have to go a liquor store to buy booze instead of, you know, any and all grocery stores.

Right?!

My grocery list right now (clearly NOT in any particular order):
avocados
tortillas
ground turkey
eggs
cuties
Belvedere
romaine
radishes
Blah blah blah

I love California

One of the cashiers at the beerstore near us told MrJJ he should buy his tall cans by the case, as he'd get his money's worth, and he drinks them often enough.

It was hilarious to me, but he was mortified.

It's somehow more socially acceptible to buy 24 tall cans 1x a week than 4/6 cans 3 times a week.

EVery once in a while I like to change up my primary liquor store because things get a little too familiar.  I'm running out of stores.  Pregnancy provides a good break for staff turnover, though.

[bluetopaz]

The day the cashier at the store I stopped at on the way home from my old job waived away my ID, saying not to bother because she knew me, I freaked out and have not been back. There are 2 other liquor stores nearby, and if we need something I will alternate. I realize this makes me sound like both a lunatic and an alcoholic.

Wine though, I'll just go ahead and buy at the same Publix because I like their cashiers/baggers and most of them are even crazier than me.

Well, grocery stores here don't sell higher than 40 proof.  Ain't nobody got time for that.

GO AHEAD, RUB IT IN OUR FACES.

You can only buy wine or beer at the grocery store here.  :^)

I wish it was like that. Anything containing alcohol can only be sold in a liquor store.

The other day Wegmans had a big display of wine. I got really excited and was looking over it, and then realized it was all alcohol free wine. Womp womp.

Where are you? When I lived in NJ, our Wegmans had a full liquor store attached.

Lol!  I've been known to switch up liquor stores when I felt like we were going through the boxed wine too quickly.  

[Marle]

Some store managers are recommending this to make people feel guilty and stop buying liquor so often. It's a lie to make you stop drinking. Damn conservatives!

[Marle]

I'm totally shitting you.

LOL never mind, nothing to see here 

[jacquie]

I would be really sad if I couldn't buy my booze at the grocery store. Seriously. Especially since toddlers aren't exactly allowed in liquor stores.

I have, though, had my son with me when dropping deliveries off at local liquor stores (own a brewery). It's totally awkward. I always call the store from the parking lot and explain why I can't haul it in.

Hold up, what? You can't bring your kid into a liquor store with you?

I assume this is a state-by-state thing because I certainly see kids at liquor stores here (with their parents, obv).

Nope! Not in Indiana. They're serious about the 21-and-older business here.

Aww, she didn't mean anything by it babes!

I consider you my lush buddy who will always understand my drunken postings just like you will always understand mine.

Wait. That's not what I mean. But that's kinda funny as fuck so I'm leaving it!

[BNL2]

I like that the clerk at the liquor store knows me. It makes me feel like part of the community. Now the place that knew my whole family by name, that made me feel like a drunk.
