a compliment?

[kuulani]

last night i go to the store for some grocery shopping, and as i was checking out, the cashier asks for an i.d. for some alcohol i was purchasing for my husband.

of course, this is the day where i leave my driver's license in the car, so i tell her i don't have an i.d. with me.

she then says she can't sell this alcohol to me. i understand the law, but i look at her and say, "i'm 28 years old, i'm legal."

of course, she doesn't trust me, "ï'm sorry, ma'am."

"do i look straight out of high school?"

"no, ma'am, but i can't sell this to you."

"i'm probably 10 years older than you."

"ï'm sorry ma'am."

needless to say, she popped my xmas bubble. so i drive to the gas station across the street, where the lady happily sold me my alcohol.

hobart says to take it as a compliment. to him.

Now theres a strong "don't drink and drive" statement. Alcohol at a gas station?

 

[kuulani]

well, that's better than the two stupid high school boys that were smoking a joint in broad daylight while pumping gas.

... and they're supposed to be our future?

 

[Squiggy]

I doubt they'll be our future if they keep smoking while pumping gas.

BTW...Cherish the thought of looking that young. When it goes away, it leaves fast...

Damned staright.

Out west you can buy gas, booze & food, all in one stop. Some of the outlying areas sell ammunition too. It's you easterners who can't control yourselves. Hell, Phoenix even has drive-thru liquor stores.

 

[kuulani]

thanks, squigg but being a fat, waddling pregnant lady in a store on the night before xmas eve ... just give me the alcohol!!

I can top that, in Owensville, we have a Drive Up Liquor store. How about that?

And Coo-ooh, take it as a compliment, defintely.

 

[Rose]

i'm not one to preach, but is the alcohol for yourself?

i bought some beer for my husband ... for himself and for a recipe that he's trying out for xmas brunch

Got 'em here to (we don't just drink 'shine). In Akron, I went to one where you drive through and tell 'em what you want.

Ku'u,
Tell Ahiena that I've restocked our side with more Sam and Coors.

 

[Ms Ann Thrope]

kuu, even though it was a drag at the time it was most definitely a compliment!

Last time I got carded the cashier said "never mind" as soon as she saw the size of the grin that cracked my face.

 

[tonksy]

we have drive thru daquiri shops all over the place here....and they don't want to promote drinking and driving so they scotch tape the straw to the side of the cup.... real deterrant, that.....
