Things beer store employees probably say about us

Her husband/SO must really like beer, she's in here buying crap for him all the time.

 

"I'd like to wear that ass as a hat". That's probably what they think.

 

I've been taking forever to pick lately, too, mainly because I've tried most of the things that my main stores have to offer at this point. Last time my bf and I went to the bottle shop, the cashier actually said something like, "wow, looks like you guys were making a pretty serious decision there."

 

This guys is either really drunk, really stoned, or both. He just walked five miles in the beer aisles.

 

"All the great beer he buys clearly has a direct correlation to his massive penis size."

 

"Things beer store employees probably say about us"

"That a-hole comes in here every week looking for 'bourbon barrel something...' why doesn't he just buy a damn bottle of bourbon already and get out of here? We were supposed to close an hour ago."

 

Whats even worse, I have a wife and kid waiting in the car after we do our grocery shopping. Traditionally I go to the liquor store after we checkout the groceries. Unfortunately I feel hurried.

Note to self: don't go to the liquor store when you have a wife and kid waiting in the car.

 

"Yes, Yes, give me all your money you beer nerd."

 

Stop messing up my god damn shelves!!!!!

 

"That poor woman wandering around the craft section must be lost. Quick, somebody show her where we keep the Mike's Hard Lemonade."

 

"Wow, $20 for 4 beers? You could get like, a case of Natural Light for that much."

True story. Not exactly a beer store, but still.

I work at Total Wine and avoid people like you. If someone is looking very focused at beer I assume they know what they're doing and probably know more than I do anyway.

 

The only time I actually got a "wtf" comment was when I got Utopias. The guys was like "Uhh, you know that $200, right?" and he looked baffled and sad.

 

Yeah, maybe you haven't said any of these things, but that's only because you've never seen AwesomeSquad's hair.l

 

I run into this ALL the time. Most of what pass for bottle shops in PA stock pretty much the exact same things as any other shops in the same region, because that's what the distributor they all have to do business with is willing to order and distribute in reasonable quantities among his customers. It's not all bad stuff, mind you, but it is pretty redundant.

The other complaint I hear a lot in my neck of the woods is that there is one 800 lb. gorilla in the region who shall remain nameless (but if you asked if it rhymed with Bangy's, I could not tell a lie) that has compressed two rungs of the three tier distribution system into one. In other words, they not only distribute to other smaller case-sales distributors but they run their own retail operation as well. The result is that any time they can lay their hands on limited distribution beer, they retail most of it themselves. Sometimes they let some squeak out to favorite bars, but their local distributor clients rarely get a sniff. I've had four or five different guys tell me the same tale. It pisses them off, but they don't have a lot of options given the way licensing and distribution works in this state.

 

From the pimp chronicles

"That stuff was good, but this s^#t right here n'*#a, this s*#t right here!"

 

"So, does that guy have a bomber in his pants or is he just happy to see all this beer???"

 

"If he asks me one more time about canteeyown I'll friggin punch him"

 

"that guy ALWAYS refuses help, and I even heard him helping and giving recommendations to other customers before...weirdo"
