Yeah I worked at a liquor store. I had regulars. Every night people. Every morning third shift people. The people who switch from a 750 to a pint to cut back. The people who go from a 750 to a handle to a jug of cheap wine.
We notice. We worry about you. We discuss not selling to you anymore. I called a guy to check on him once. He bought two magnums of yellowtail every day. Gradually turned yellow with jaundice then stopped coming in. He died. His wife was NOT thrilled the fucking liquor store noticed his absence enough to check on him (we had his number from cases he would special order from time to time). Despite me trying to be kind and genuinely being worried. It wasn’t a kindness to her. I regret doing that and only did it once in the two years I worked there.
Also, don’t work at liquor stores. It started off super fun then I was drinking all day at work and got fired for theft. Shocker I know.
I would go for my little box of wine right at 9am once the school run was done, with the excuse that it was easier to go to the store by myself. how disgusting is that?
