Would you ship wine to your work address?

Yes
No

There are no special snowflakes people!

ETA: STORY TIME!

Apparently, I'm a heathen (I live in the South) because I shipped a box of wine to my office since it requires signature....

Apparently, leaving it all completely sealed is sending you STRAIGHT TO HELL.

I love Jesus, but I drink a little.

One of those people (there were only two) compared it to me having a gun in a backpack but not opening the backpack....I gave him a WTF look.

Even my husband, the preacher's son, gave me a WTF look when I told him.

[walterismydog]

Yes, but my workplace also supplies alcohol and encourages drinking and debauchery, soooo...

[bonquiqui]

Yes, but i was let go so there's that lol

Why not?

I would and I have. I don't get what the big deal is. It's not like I cracked it open right when it arrived and proceeded to get shit-faced.

Ah, got it.

Yeah, I'm team you.

I prefer to have it shipped home because it's heavy and I don't want to have to lug it around, but you need a signature, so you do what you gotta do.

Ginger, whoever is judging you about this sounds like a not-fun person. Don't be friends with that one.



P.S. I am Southern.  You're going to be just fine. Even finer after you have a glass.

It was only 3 bottles. Three of my most favorite wines that I usually can only find in restaurants around here.

Oh FYI y'all! Wine.com has FREE SHIPPING: THANKS1CENTSHIP

It says it's 1 cent, but it's not. It's free.

ETA: It arrived yesterday. I've already finished a bottle like a good Southern girl should.

[MrsAxilla]

As long as you're allowed to recieve packages at work.

[Deleted]

Yes.

[calledout]

I would and have in the past.

Atta girl! Cheers!



well, shit. This was in response to your good Southern girl bottle drinking self.


Just had a thought. Maybe that person was offended that it wasn't whiskey? lol

[RoxMonster]

No, but I would feel weird having anything personal shipped to my work address (at a HS). People where I work just don't do that--it's work deliveries and shipments only.

ETA: Not to mention I wouldn't want to be toting around alcohol at a high school.

[Muddled]

Your ETA confused me. Are you supposed to open the backpack with the gun in it or not? I don't get it.

[Deleted]

.

[BlackCanary]

Yes. In the back of the store there are random bottles of alcohol. When the boss used to host D&D nights, there would be bottles of beer in the fridge. 

[shotsb4noon]

Lurker here.  I'm from Charleston, SC.  It would be difficult to be more southern and even most old school southerners I know are quite big drinkers.  You need new coworkers.

[zoidberg]

No, but only because the internal mail system is kind of a mess and I wouldn't trust them to actually deliver it to me.

[snickers]

No, but I work with children, lol.

[coribelle26]

Well not to the school but to my old job, definitely. It requires a signature, it would be stupid to ship it home.

Don't these people know that Jesus turned water into wine so people could continue to get their party on?

Clearly they haven't read the bible. WHO IS THE HEATHEN NOW??!!

No, because I work at a middle school and it's illegal to have alcohol on school property.

This is what I was going to say.

 In addition, my school office has lost numerous packages this year that were school related (props for the school play for one!). The secretary signed for them and instead of sending them to me she had a student put them in a storage room!! So I don't have anything shipped to school if I can avoid it.

[pooh8402]

no. I work at a hospital. we are an alcohol-free and tobacco-free campus. I might get fired.

I'd rather they hold it at the Fedex/UPS store and I'll come there and sign for it.

[Kit]

Yes. I'd leave it in the box and I doubt anyone would care. Not like I'm gonna bust it out and start drinking.

Maybe.

illegal on the property
but H's work wouldn't have a problem with it
