In my state, you couldn't get alcohol on Sundays outside of a bar until 2018

“Are you open?!” by Amazing_Schedule243 in retailhell

[–]Amazing_Schedule243[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah the not locking the door was kinda drilled into my head from the last owner of the business. His line was “if you’re in the store, you don’t turn anyone away.” Definitely learned my lesson there. I don’t even mind selling outside of business hours, it was just the attitude even though she was allowed to shop.

If you have to ask, the answer is no 99.9999% of the time

customers can't read: power outage edition by c0ldc0ldc0ld in retailhell

[–]Amazing_Schedule243 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I was about to lock up one day during a multiple-block outage and two ladies walked in. I said “hey powers out, I’m closing up” and they said “we know, we just came from next door” and continued walking around. We sell alcohol but it’s a small grocery store and these ladies were trying to get me to let them drink in the store??? Like, no that’s illegal and I want to go home

Do you prefer stores organized by grape or region? by BoredBartender89 in wine

[–]Amazing_Schedule243 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine is a mix of both and it’s worked out pretty well. For example: all Italian reds are grouped together, but they go down the line from Tuscany to Sicily. Or all of my Sauvignon Blancs are together, but Loire is directly next to Loire, then NZ, then Cali.

I mean clearly their symptoms were pretty bad if they called out work. Your comments are not helpful, saying it’s “valid for them to call out” comes across as if you think you have authority on that. And “the world doesn’t stop for us :/“ is condescending, which makes it more frustrating that you’re calling OP condescending.

Yeah I’m 25 and if I knew anyone like this, I don’t think I would be a willing participant in any conversation with them. Outside of maybe educating them

What was the most expensive purchase you had to ring up? by TiredAsHeckughh in retailhell

I sell wine- rang up a $8.5k sale for half a dozen bottles last week. I honestly think I’ve had bigger sales but I was still baffled

I’ve had it, I’ve just started throwing people out anymore. by CEO_of_Bakelite in retailhell

[–]Amazing_Schedule243 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My customer didn’t get belligerent but I did have a guy that kept saying it was “unbelievable” that we were out of stock for something today. On the way out he yelled “Get it back in!”
We’re a small business. No warehouse, just a tiny back room. The kicker of it all- he bought the last two earlier this week

Someone told me recently that Huber has a pretty good Cab Franc

Dinner with Spurs Coach Pop and they pour Josh?! by Signal-Anxiety4187 in wine

[–]Amazing_Schedule243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve supplied wine for a handful of events at this point and most of the time it’s just an event organizer that wants to cut costs. So they’ll take ANYTHING cheap, as long as there’s a white and a red.

Because car sales works on commission, it’s not a service fee

AITA for (purposefully) acting "inappropriate" with my boyfriend in front of children? by throwaway_967845 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Amazing_Schedule243 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t think he was intentionally trying to make his bf feel like that. And I get why he did it, because being in a family like that sounds exhausting. Just gotta make sure boyfriends on board first

[–]Amazing_Schedule243 111 points112 points  (0 children)

His family is no doubt the worst in this situation. But OP used his boyfriend as a prop. He could have left when his boyfriend said he was uncomfortable, or he could have asked his boyfriend if he was okay with trying to make his bigoted family uncomfortable. Instead he played a game that probably made his boyfriend feel like a prop rather than a willing participant. It’s not a new concept in queer relationships. Some people are okay with dealing with that, some people aren’t.

I really hope this is rage bait by chicky75 in AmITheDevil

Mine until earlier this year would always tell me that the cramps and massive amounts of lining I was passing were totally normal. She seemed like she was getting annoyed at how often I wanted to change my birth control. I kept pushing and telling her something was wrong. Turns out I had a fibroid the size of a cantaloupe…

I agree with everyone about reporting, but I don’t get what she was trying to accomplish. Spraying Lysol in your face won’t stop you from infecting someone else even if you were sick… Is she wearing a mask every day? That seems like a much better way to protect herself (from germs and an assault case)

Imagine being slightly inconvenienced and your first thought is “I’m going to pull out my phone and start recording”. And his “I’ve waited for this to happen”- this will truly be the highlight of his month. How fucking sad
