Its mostly just another retail job. We have the subset of like 10-15 people that come in every day to get sloshed, and most of them are also homeless, but theyre also mostly pretty nice up front despite their problems (but i refuse to "donate to the cause"). Theres one guy who beat up his mother, though, and i guess i just dont like him on general principle.
I think the majority of our liquor sales go to people out of state, like coming over from washington because the luxury/alcohol taxes literally double or more the cost of the bottle, and no, nobody likes that, and yes, everybody breaks the regulation washington state is trying to enforce to charge anyone carrying alcohol or tobacco across state lines, even when its clearly for personal consumption and not resale, with tax evasion. Which is bullshit and if i were a voter in washington id be furious.
But were also a gas station and automotive service shop, and the real assholes are the people that expect everything to be done for them on their time and their say-so, irregardless of what other customers we have or whether their request is even doable. Or propane sales. On the reservation, we arent technically obligated to honor the regulations that say we cant fill expired tanks, but my boss enforces that anyway, and everybody gets pissy with me when i tell them i have to refuse to fill their tanks. Especially the tribal government departments that use tanks that are from the 80s, covered in rust, and have never been inspected. They go and throw a tantrum because how dare i refuse to give the tribal government what they want, but lo and behold, we are also part of the tribal government (technically, somehow, i dont understamd it) and the boss makes the rules.
Honestly the smoke shop i worked at before had more crazy bullshit going on everyday. This place is just poorly managed and so old and run down it should be demolished.
