the loot
here's what i got:
The last one was a special treat. We went there after midnight because Mike told me that someone told him that they would be selling beer and liquor after midnight. Since there's that stupid federal law stating you can't buy liquor on christmas eve/day...and we had forgotten about that, we were especially bummed. And since i had to spend the day with the "in law's" family (i'm talking parents, siblings, cousins, aunts & uncles, grandparents, cousins, etc,) and spent the fourth christmas in a row away from my family and what is considered the 'normal' family christmas (that's not to say i haven't been involved in normal family christmases those four years, just...none of them have been my own) i was bummed, and getting frustrated with this holiday.
ANYWAY
we went to spike and mike's at midnight, and talked to the cashier. He said (in a very thick indian accent) "No, we do not sell liquor tonight...start tomorrow"
i commented to another customer 'i thought after twelve WAS midnight'
I apologized for wasting his time, but still needed pop so stuck around...the other customer, feeling jipped, left.
then the cashier looks at me and says 'what you want? liquor?'
Me: yeah...i just wanted some rum
Him: what kind of rum?
Me: captain morgan
Him: a fifth? (which sounded more like 'fift')
Me: yeah
He shoves a bottle into calebs hands and taps on his chest
Him: Here, put in coat pocket. No show anybody, leave through back door. I know you guys, you loyal customers, i no sell to strangers, not supposed to, no show anyone, *someone walks in and he whispers* leave through back door...hide this.
Me & Caleb: ....uh....O_o....abuh? ok?
Caleb goes through with the purchase, but he didn't have the right pop. Knowing that there was a five dollar limit, i proceed to grab three two liters in order to exceed the limit. During this time, Caleb is standing there awkwardly, clutching his chest to hide the fifth from the new customer. I put my sodas on the counter while the new customer grabs some beer.
Cashier: I canna sell you beer or liquor, start tomorrow!
New Customer: I was informed by a gentleman here earlier that i would be able to purchase alcohol after midnight and that you were open until 2
Cashier: Was it me?
N.C: we're you here?
Cashier: yes, i here all day
N.C: WELL *snort* even the federal law states that blah blah blah starts whenever blah blah gimme booze i'm a jerk blah blah
Cashier: I sell you food? No sell liquor after twelve, start tomorrow
At this time, i have finished purchasing my sodas. We look down awkwardly (i may have been blushing and smiling) and walk out the back door....which is not supposed to be used by customers.
Good times.
