Beer store employee stories

i havent had too many problems. but last year i was out hunting for KBS and one store had it, i saw it behind the register but i couldnt buy it because i wasnt a regular. shitty part is i used to go in there once a week. :\ mostly great service everywhere ive been out of state. especially a store in Nashville that was recommended to me.

 

Entitlement is ruining craft beer.

Dealing with people like this on a daily basis is mind numbing.

 

Now I'm nervous... can someone please phonetically type out Cantillon. I assumed it was Can-Til-Yon... is this wrong?!?

 

The L's are silent, like tortilla.

 

Can-tee-own. That how I heard it pronounced by Van Roy in a video.

 

I still haven't heard anything on the pappy dust. Did u guys get it? I will follow up with a call in case you don't see this.

 

There was a store around Indy that I would go to from time to time that would do lists for limited releases and it was always tricky to figure out when the list was starting. It was not uncommon to check on the list a few times and the next time you asked it would be full. A year or 2 ago I got on their list for KBS, when my fiance got home later I suggested that she call and get on the list as well. When the guy was adding her to the list, he said "Oh, this Paul guy is always on the list, I am going to cross him out and put you in his spot". haha. Totally what I get for double dipping a list w/ a significant other, but I was blown away.

 

I was shopping with a friend of mine on Saturday. We stopped in at a Crown on the south side of Indy. We started chatting and he mentioned a local restaurant having KBS on tap. Also suggested we get a table instead of going to the bar, as the waitresses did some of their own pours and you'd get a larger pour for the money. He also mentioned some FFF bombers they had just gotten in. In all, his service could not have been better.

 

The L's are silent in tortilla?

 

Many people (in the Midwest, at least) seem to pronounce it tor-tee-ah.

 

The L's AREN'T silent in tortilla?

In 'merica we say our LLs proudly.

 

I learned how to pronounce double L's when the Brewers brought up Yovani Gallardo... Llamas have never answered me since.

 

Loons.

 

I agree it's annoying to get the runaround from stores that don't know you, but you kind of already posted the solution in your first post. You said you like to shop at certain stores a lot to build up a rapport with the employees, why not just do the same at Binnys?

 

The fact that someone who's job it is to answer costumers questions would get annoyed with question about the most popular beers is ridiculous. If you can't handle someone asking for zombie dust all the time you should go work somewhere else. I'm sure you could get a job at Walmart and answer questions about the x-box.

 

Apparently you've never heard of Pappy Van Winkle....

 

"How inconvenient, since I just decided to not be a customer at all. PEACE! *make a drop-the-mic gesture* *lock eyes* *cabbage patch backwards right out the door while maintaining eye contact*"
