*During my second year of grad school, along with teaching at the university, I also picked up a part-time job at a local liquor store -- the closest one to campus. These are only a few of my many experiences.
My Memories as an Employee of ____ ______ Liquors
I was going through some things a couple weeks ago and came across a piece of paper. It's a yellow piece of paper from one of the pads that Matt used to write down orders or we'd use to write stocking info down on.
There are four stories that I jotted down in my summer working there. I'm glad I did, because as funny as they were, I still would have forgotten them.
I just thought I'd share this for all of you to have a laugh. I'm going to type them up verbatim from how I jotted them down, for the sake of amusement.
- 2 guys (drunk) come into the store, buy booze and need to ride away on bicycles. 1 is cool, relaxed, just wants to leave. Other guy is getting pissed about getting a DUI on his bike, drops the ice scoop on his foot in the back, is cussing, etc. He pounds the counter wildly. Cashier (Bryan?) offers to duct tape the beer to his bike.
- Family comes in, guy asks cashier (me) if his wife can come back in and sniff me. Cashier looks blankly @ him and then explains his cologne is Abercrombie Fierce -- "it's 5 years old, but I'm sure they still sell it." Husband says, "Ok, thanks" and guy behind him in line says "WTF!" (he didn't abbreviate it). The wife never comes in. Guy who said WTF asks me if husband was hitting on me; I say, "I don't think so. I don't know, but that's not even the worst thing that's happened." Guy says, "I don't even wanna know, man."
- Old woman buys bottle, I ask if that's it. She says, "that's it...unless you're for sale." I laugh, pause, and then say, "If the price is right." She doesn't respond.
- Cashier (me) helps old woman load empty boxes into her car. We talk about the upcoming 4th of July weekend. She tells me to be safe; I say I don't think that will be a problem since I'm working both nights - "just me in the lonely old liquor store." She replies, "oh I don't think you'll be lonely." and then starts laughing wildly, then drives away.
, when the winners are picked just let us know what else your taking and a decision will be made.
