guy came in and got a half pint of nikolai(50% abv bottom shelf vodka) I didnt see encounter #1. He comes in, according to my manager, a half hour later, and bought half pint #2. After this my manager said I should consider cutting him off if he comes back. If I refuse service to somebody it is my decision, and the manager will back me up, so he wouldnt be getting served as is my right.

So he comes in 2ish hours later and gets another half pint. I served him because its been a couple of hours and its only half pints and I didnt want to be an ass, guy is actually pretty cool and funny(but not in the way some people are where youd wish they leave and never come back)

But I havent really been in a position to refuse service before, though I could have.

I will be more diligent in the future because my manager thinks he is a bus driver(he came in after work

It's not my place to say, but a 2 hour window seems rather reasonable in between servings.

no i work at a gov't owned liquor store.

3 half pints of nikolai is around 12 shots if my math is correct, which would have just about anybody fucked up. though of course he wasnt doing it all at once i assume. even 8 shots in a half an hour is a little much...

/former nikolai drinker in college because my roomie wasnt giving me any cash so I bought cheap shit and suffered with em.

now the thing is I dont know if he was driving himself when he got all his half pints.

but i live in the suburbs with no public transportation and minimal sidewalk application so you're either walking or driving. could have gotten a ride, idk.

but if he is driving himself he's almost certainly either driving near or above the legal limit of .08. and if he is a bus driver, his legal limit(even on non work days/not operation a bus) is around half that, so he certainly is going past his legal limit. but idk if he is a busdriver but thats what i heard,.

Yeah im in PA. i like specifying govt owned liquor store so people get the sense im not just a random convenience store clerk. I am a govt employee.

But almost every time somebody is amazed about govt owned liquor. Oh well obviously most states dont deal with this. And yes we sell on sundays. My store is closed but like all the others in this area are open.

Suburb outside of Filthadelphia. Nobody minds their own business here and I'm contemplating moving to the Upper Darby area because I'd rather hear gunshots every day than have some angry woman accuse me of theft (based on a customer thinking they were snitching on me) for buying something and coming back in with it to buy more stuff. Lots of mean neighbors in this area and I'm sick of living all 29 years of my life here.

I would have showed my receipt and told her to fuck off.

They don't give you receipts if you pay with cash. I said "fuck you" as I walked out and haven't set foot in there since the day it happened. She called my boss to try and get a hold of me over day old croissants. Why the hell would I steal something if the owner knows where I work? I'm not stupid.

This isn't a high crime area, either.

I guess it's different on the west coast. Or do you mean just that specific store?

It's just that specific store. I've heard she abuses all her employees, which wouldn't surprise me given how aggressive she was over what was probably the cheapest product in the store.

One of them admitted to having talked to me before I made my purchase but she denied pretty much everything else. I'm pretty sure they're kind of intimidated by her.

Doesn't help that I'm face-blind.
