Today, I was refused employment at a liquor store. Their reason? I'm a regular customer and they're afraid I'll drink all their profits. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I refused to serve a woman alcohol, as she looked underage. She complained to my manager about "age racism." FML
Today, I realized that my alcoholism has gotten so bad that I rotate liquor stores so the clerks don't think bad about me. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. My boss claimed it was because I smelled like alcohol, never mind the fact that my job was brewmaster at a beer company. FML
Today, I was fired for not asking a senior citizen for proof that he was over 21 and legally allowed to purchase alcohol. When I told my manager he was clearly over 21, he replied, "But what if he WASN'T?" FML
Today, I was demoted at my job for sleeping in the store when I'd have a few after closing. Apparently, they would rather have me drive drunk than do the responsible thing. FML
Today, I was carded for trying to buy wine and was told the dates were faded, so they wouldn’t be selling it to me, since they suspected I was underage. I work at the vineyard that produces the wine, I’m the head vintner, and I made the wine in the bottle I wasn’t allowed to buy. FML
Today, the girl who works at the liquor store came to where I work. She recognized me. FML
Today, when I went to the gas station to buy beer, some underage punk outside asked me to buy him booze. I told him to get bent, but the dumbass cashier had seen me talking to him, and refused to let me buy alcohol because, "This is obviously a sting." FML
Today, I had to decline the sale of alcohol to a man who reeked of booze and was practically falling asleep at my till. He tried to convince me that he wasn't drunk, he was just blind. Still refusing to sell him the beer, he started yelling at me, accusing me of "being racist against the 'blinds'". FML
Today, working in a liquor store, I had to tell a girl I couldn't sell her alcohol since she was severely intoxicated. She told me to "cash me ousside, how bow dat?" then smashed a bottle of wine and left. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wouldn't you having experience shopping there and liking the products make you more useful as a salesperson? That wasn't a very wise choice on their part.

Did you apply for the chance of employee discounts?

well if you come in regularly to a liquor store...I see why they would assume that.

He could just stop going there and see how they like it then

He could regularly go there once a month or week for a 6pack of beer nobody should judge him we don't know the full story.

2- You have to APPLY for an employee discount? Since when? I thought if you are an employee, and they give employee discounts, then I assume you would get that discount. Without applying for it. Am I wrong here?

25- hmmm you have to apply to get the job to get this discount... Nevermind if Im going to have to explain it you don't deserve to know.

To all of you, 25 is right. You apply for the JOB not the discount. If you get the job and they offer discounts for employees, you'd automatically get it Edit: I see what he's saying now... Apply for the job just to get cheap liquor.

28 - he meant that he applied to the job FOR the discount. Here, I'll reword it... OP May have not wanted the job, but the discount that came with it.

25- I guess you cant read well or just plain old stupid. Where in his post did 2 say that he applied for employee discounts? He asked the guy if he applied for the JOB so that he can get employee discounts.

I would think that too. He knows the products well and know where they are located. But I could also see them being worried about him being a drunk and drinking all their liquor as well. The workforce is a tough place.

he should have applied at a different liquor store than the one he frequents.

If op can't get a job at a liquor store because he's a regular, something tells me it'll be a liiiiiittle harder for him to live....

I prefer "you'll.exe"

I once asked a guy that worked at a liquor store what the worst part his job was. His reply, 'Seeing my regular customers die.' I think that it may be a wise life choice to aim just a little higher.

When I first read this, I thought you asked him what his FAVORITE part was. His response shocked the hell out of me. And then I read it again and his response wasn't so crazy :P

Seems like you being a regular patron there could be both a good AND a bad thing in terms of employment.

I agree! Take a hint OP.

You should take that as a sign.
perdix 31
That's the same reasoning you don't see fat cashiers at McDonald's. No, wait . . .
SonOfAMitch 14
Same as Chinese people serving you at a Chinese restaurant... ...Oh, wait one second...

If you're a regular customer wouldn't that make you more familiar with the prices and products? Oh well, their lose

I think that is a hint that people view you as an alcoholic.
