We get a lot of characters... 

- Yep we drink beer in the cooler. Not liquor, though.

- I only look really really close at the IDs if I am wondering/doubting something, like weight/age/gender. ID'd a girl who was flirting with me, her name was Brandon

- I usually take a six pack home. Not a big deal when you consider how much we sell.

- Hottest sellers are dirt vodka liters... $8.25 after tax. Also 12 packs of Natural Ice for $8.37.

- We deliver to houses in the area. Wow do you get in some weird scenarios.

Our best sellers:

Guy who was blackout drunk, came in with no shirt or shoes (got kicked out immediately)

You can see the wire buckets of vodka to the guy's left. We move an insane amount of cheap vodka:

Guy who rode in with his two buddies on a bike welded to another bike:

Had a co-worker (girl) punch a dude who was getting too close
A crack dealer got chased into our parking lot and shot in the legs by cops around Christmas

Coworker walking home got beat up and robbed by trannies

IDK but it's huge. The owner owns a few stores in the suburbs too, but this is his cash cow.

No one in the store makes over $9.50

 and we shovel vodka/malt liquor out the door.

I'd like to tell you the city, but I'll just say it's a midwestern city with 300,000+ people.
 
Man, believe you me - I've worked in liquor stores from Cleveland to Frisco for a few years and I've seen it all.

My dad's got 3 liquor stores but in the suburbs, not a bad business but it is all about location. They sell a decent amount of liquor, but wine is where they make their money. Those are some funny pics OP I'm sure you see a lot of characters every week.
