However, the "obviously" part only hit my slow brain until they said one specific thing at which point they were already out the door.

In order to refuse a sale to somebody because you believe they are intoxicated, you need several cues, mainly, before you make your call. You would not want to be wrong. We have people who come in every day we suspect are drinking at least somewhat(and driving), but we don't have multiple cues. They come in(once a day), act like normal people, and leave. We actually can not or should not refuse a sale because of alcohol smell alone because again, you dont want to be wrong. could be a medical condition, mouthwash, whatever. so even if you smell a little, you act normal and you're fine.

So today I am waiting on a woman who buys 3 minis of 99 bananas. 49.5% alcohol by volume and 99 cents, these are a popular choice for some people. IF you are a heavy drinker, this should be your #1 choice. Fireball - 99 cents a mini at 33%, and 99 bananas/apples/peaches/smegma 50%. if I shot all 3 of them, depending on the timeframe, I'd probably have a decent but short buzz, i'd need a few more shots to get really drunk. Obviously, still impaired though if all I had was 3 shots of 99 Nanas. I think nothing of it, i've seen this woman before.

Then, she comes back a few hours later. It is odd for somebody to come back...frequent visitors generally visit once a day or so, not multiple times a day. Some may go to other stores in our chain but usually never the same store twice.

This is a red flag but alone you cannot assume.

She is a little loopy, but I don't think anything of it, even though the likely obvious cause, in glass and plastic, is all around me. You see a lot of weirdos in the liquor store, even if you were take out the fact some people you interact with are drunk sometimes.

I ask her how she is, and she goes "terrible" which I never have a good response to(unless my job/store somehow is the source of it), and so I am put off but again, whatever.

You know what caused me to actually believe she was plastered, but couldn't do anything because I just closed my cash drawer completing the sale and she is already out the door?

I said to her "Have a nice day"

and she replies

"You too. I Love you"

Isn't it sad? Hearing a person who is not my mom say "I love you" was literally the tipping point for me knowing they were shitfaced.

I wouldnt care if she got a ride or was walking, but she got into a vehicle and drove off.

At the point I realized there was a problem there was not much I could do, unfortunately.

You know, I probably wait on people as drunk as she was every single day, but they hide it so much better. I guess this situation has me weirded out because she wasn't, reflecting on it, anywhere in the right mind and I saw her drive off. This situation wasn't that unique outside of her telling me she loved me I guess but it has me wondering. She is terrible, came back for a second round, and was drunk enough to tell ME, M E ME, that she loved me.

I don't know, folks.
