Poor Etiquette?

My thought is you are fine. You took some, you left some. He needs to get over it.

 

I agree that two four packs is absolutely reasonable, it's not as if you have some special insight as to how much is sitting in the back (cooler of otherwise) ready to be re-stocked. My question is...was the place selling them as singles or 4-packs? Either way, if he is just buying a single, he has no reason to gripe...he got what he came for.

Which reminds me of a separate issue...which I will search the site on before starting a thread...supermarkets who have sections of singles for "make your own six packs", and the people who take items out of other four or six packs (usually of higher priced items) outside of the section as part of the six pack, leaving behind a less than desirable three or five pack.

 

i mean the beer is there for you to buy it. if you buy the shit out of founders, guess what the grocery store is going to buy more of?

bottle limits are on the store. if you're undermining them or tricking them or something that's one thing. if you're in the know, and you know your community, and you know you're fucking over a lot of people because, say, whoa, a case of cantillon in MA / CT, just sitting on the shelf, first time in 5 years, like the old days... fuck it i'll buy the whole thing--that's also "one thing" (ie being an ass).

but like, if this batch of enjoy by IPA comes in and you're like "fuck it i'll buy the store completely out!" guess what happens: the store orders more stone.

 

CORRECTION
he should have taken the one out of his hand and the other 3 and bought them

 

Then in the parking lot, you pour them onto the ground in full view of the "leave some for everyone else guy." then while he stands in disbelief, go back inside, buy a case of keystone light, come outside, take out your cellphone to ostentatiously get uber, then ride off into the sunset.

 

I'd have told him to get fucked.

 

If the stuff is limited by the store, then respect that. If not, buy what and how many you want...

 

I originally typed that as well (minus the keystone light)

 

I would have been polite and said FBS is basically a seasonal shelf beer so.... Fuck off and mind your own business.

 

Im actually not sure if keystone light even still exists. I hope not.

 

Why not just grab the one out of his hand and chuck it across the store?

 

I woulda told that dumb A hole to take his beer and....

Besides, FBS isn't a rare beer. Shoulda ask him if he was too poor to afford the other three.

 

I think it is one of the best coffeish stouts I've had, I just don't like the style much, my friends give me shit, i never order beers like it, kinda a chore for me

 

So true. As a buyer for a store, I can say this is the single most frustrating thing.

 

I would have busted one FBS bottle over my own head(to show the fact I don't give a shit), then proceeded to carve that nosey bastards neck like a jack-o-lantern. I don't tolerate people in general

 

Why not? It just makes it burn better.

 

I can dig it.

 

Op said grocery store, not bottle shop. Fair game in a store where hundreds, maybe thousands visit every day. You didn't buy enough.

 

you should have gone and got the rest of them. They were on the shelf and there was nothing telling you there was a limit..

 

What he did was more annoying, I hate coming across six packs and four packs missing bottles.
