    Lol this.. I mostly wonder what my craft customers have at home in the cellar as well. Lately I've been getting lots of custy's that are buying bottles to lay down

    "Ol' gramps seems confused about what beer to buy. I hope he remembers where he parked his car."

    Good selection and pretty good prices, in my limited experience.

    I work in a taproom/bottleshop, and unless you are a total dick, no one says anything about you.

    "That guy is still fucking here? Jesus Christ! Somebody slip him an Adderall."

    Sometimes I hang around so long squatting down in a back aisle reading labels and looking things up on my phone that they send the security guy for a casual stroll by, because what could I be doing back there other than shoplifting? Go check him out, Terrence, he's been in here for an hour.

    Adderall, especially XR, would only make you stay there longer. You'd read every bottle and think it was the most important thing in the world. You'd probably have the best conversation of your life with the clerk, too.

    I always wonder if they think I might be a spy for another store, checking every single bit of stock and entering things into my phone.

    Well it's not only to check for a btl date. Some breweries don't btl date so sometimes you have to hold it to the light to see if there is any sediment on the bottom(I usually do that with IPA/DIPA's).It gives you an idea on the freshness of the beer. Hope this helps...CHEERS

    Most awkward moment about 2 weeks ago at my regular spot:
    Worker there says to me:" I'm meeting up with a few buddies tonight, what beers do you recommend I take?"!!!
    I still have a lot to learn myself but felt good to be asked. Gave him a few recommendations which he told me a few days later they enjoyed. Maybe I should apply for a job there:rolling_eyes:
