Get the number of the local police department (not 911). Tell them that you have a bunch of cars in your lot waiting for you to open up. Then say that they are there every morning. (it should come up on their screen that you are a liquor store, if not mention it).DreTheLiquorGuy wrote:I work in liquor retail. You wanna talk about fun.

Then see how many of them scatter when the cop car rolls into the lot.

:D: :D: You nailed darph left. This was very cool! darph doesn't even drive a car left. He has a HUGE SUV with an entertainment center. I'd "assume" the tools he was buying were a bottle opener, corkscrew, & can holder. I'll lay odds on the can holder. left, watch darph play his cards right & get a few free cases from DreTheLG. Should be interesting to follow. ;)leftcoaster wrote:You were buying parts for your car at a liquor store?

To totally blow tradition and bring this thread back to it's original topic.
Here is a picture that I referenced in a post on the "Snappy Answers" thread from over a year ago. (I think the statutes of limitation would have passed and I still pixelated the CM's face to avoid trouble)
This was outside of "Stitch's Great Escape" after it went 101:
To this day, one of my favorite pictures..

Re: What part of "We're closed" do you not understand?
Having been in retailing, I can certainly relate to this thread. That is why I have tried my best not to be a SG while at WDW. We all have to work for a living and it is tough to deal with an inconsiderate person or persons that think the world revolves around them. Heck, they are on vacation so apparently everyone else is as well.
I admire you folks for keeping your cool as well as you do. You must have the patience of a saint.

Re: What part of "We're closed" do you not understand?
I've got a bottle opener on my key-chain as well, but just in case I'm w/o my keys, my wife has a bottle opener on the bottom of her flip-flops, and if she fails to wear those, my flip-flops have a built in flask in each shoe, holding about 2-3 oz of liquid in both shoes. Enough for two 'singles' or one 'double' if i need it in a pinch :D:darph nader wrote:MS,MS,MS.You know darn well I have a bottle opener on my key-chain,a corkscrew on my pocket-knife,and a can holder(the one hand I'm 'not' using to steer my BIG SUV.By the way,the state of Ariz classifies it as a station wagon,so :raspberry
