An SC's impeccable logic

[Boozy]

We close at 6 on Sundays. Our liquor license does not extend beyond that hour. We cannot stay open even one minute later - no matter how generous I am feeling, which for the record, is not at all.

Man (rattling closed gate): Hey! Can't I still get wine?

Me (closing down register): No, sorry. We are closed.

Man: Come ON! Just one bottle! I'll be quick, I promise.

Me: Sorry, that's a negative. Can't do it. The law says we can't sell after 6 pm on Sundays.

Man: If you don't let me in, I'll be forced to spend my money elsewhere! Do you want that?

Me: Uhhh.....yes. That's sort of what I was driving at.

Man slinks away, realizing that he has been defeated by his own impeccable logic.

Boozy for the win, y'all!

[Evil Queen]

Boozy for the Win! Yay!

Wow, your store is even open on Sundays?! I need to shop where you work because all the liquor stores I live near by are closed on Sundays.

[marasbaras]

As if the sale of ONE bottle of wine is going to make your month. What a twit.

[Aramika]

"Why yes sir. I'll let you in because your single purchase of a probably very crappy wine will keep my business out of the red for the rest of the year. Come on in!"

/Sarcasm

You never know with these sorts of people either, they could report you after selling it to them, and then what happens to your liquor license. I'm quite sure whatever part of the government in your area probably does random spot checks for that sort of thing, I know they did here.

For the record, they just legalized having standalone liquor stores to be able to open on Sundays here in this state, right through to 9pm. Before it was strange, standalone liquor stores were banned from opening on Sundays, but liquor stores attached to hotels/pubs/clubs were allowed to open.

Good luck with that, since everywhere else is closed, now, too.

^-.-^

I used to work at a liquor store and saw my fair share of those types of people. The very indignant people who just could not understand how "I'll be real fast" didn't quite cut it as I was not about to be liable for up to 2 years in jail or a $5000 fine im my state. Yeah, I don't know you, but I'm sure you are totally worth it.

[Boozy]

Here's what really floored me: I'm telling him to go away and buy his booze elsewhere, and he attempts to talk his way in by threatening to....go away and buy his booze elsewhere.

But I'm pretty sure the close at 6 on Sundays thing is a province-wide law, so he'd have had no luck anyway.

*chanting*

BOO-ZAY BOO-ZAY!

lol; once again the old, 'i'm taking my business elsewhere' threat goes down in flames.

Tell him to move to Los Angeles... they sell alcohol 24/7 here in all grocery and drug stores, plus you'll not have to deal with him again.

[Slytovhand]

*continues chant*

BOO-ZAY BOO-ZAY BOO-ZAY...

Of course, what is possibly a good idea to deter them is to offer to sell it to them, but at a slightly increased price - such as $11.95 + $5000 + legals......

I'd have a slight suspicion that if you did that, and they paid, and you got busted for it... the judge would have enough of a laugh at that guys stupidity that you'd be let off..

[Andara Bledin]

Tell him to move to Los Angeles... they sell alcohol 24/7 here in all grocery and drug stores, plus you'll not have to deal with him again.

Um... I'm pretty sure that alcohol sales still stop at 2 am and don't resume until something like 6am (not too sure on the startup time).

And please, don't send them this way. We don't want 'em, either.

send him to nevada... there are places that will sell 24/7, especially the casinos... the tipsier you are the more likely you are to gamble.

[Sparky]

Nah, send him to Indiana where the wine's right there on the supermarket shelve -- but everyone knows they're not allowed to sell it to you on Sunday.

Why should he have any fun?

[TryNotToBeThatOne]

And besides, how do you (Boozy) know that he isn't a cop or from ATF spotchecking you? So yeah, massive fail, buddy. And a massive win for de Boozy One.
