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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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?

For all we know OP could be a responsible drinker. Or maybe he's an alcoholic. If he's not, **** his life for the people at the liquor store to assume he'll drink them dry. If he is a drunk, makes sense not hiring him.

Just get a new liquor store that's no way to treat a regular!! Or buy a bar I honestly prefer buying a bar

For me, it all depends on just how regular a customer OP is. A bottle of wine or sixpack of beer a week? Hire the man already. A bottle of Jack a day? They are probably right not to hire him.

What kind of liquor store allows its employees to drink the merchandise for free or purchase it below cost?

The only Mormons that would take offense to that are the ones who can't take a joke. So all of them would be lol. (I come from a strict Mormon family btw)

You and your friends and family should stop shopping there so they don't get any profit from you

I guess it depends on how much you are buying. If you are constantly buying an insane amount of liquor, they shouldn't hire you. Who would want to hire an known alcoholic?

Never get a job at any place you're a regular at! They know all about your habits!
