Am i out of line?

I am lucky if the guys that work at my local beer store don't grab all of the limited edition beer before the customers can get it...

I would have said here you can put this back and walk out leaving everything on the counter. Kinda like what I did at Orchard Supply Hardware yesterday.
I ask a lady at register #1 if she was open she said no and pointed at register #6 Just as I get there some lady walks up to #1 and started checking out. I wait at #6 for a while as they are trying to find a few prices and the lady there says it would be faster if you go to #1. I state she said she was closed just then the light at #1 came on. I walked up to #1 and asked why was I sent away her reply was I was not open then. I quickly reply you took her and I pointed at the lady walking out I got a blank stare because she knew I had seen her ring up the lady walking out and she states I know her.

99% of these people who behave this way have no stake in the business. Hence, you need to take your complaint to the manager/owner.

Now, I have had a couple run-ins with inconsiderate manager/owner, but that is really when you draw the line and drop your merchandise at their feet. You do it to some dbag cashier and they could not give 2-sh1ts.

I would have laughed in his face and informed him the AHB is no longer American owned, and pointed out that many AMVETS, VFW posts, and AMERICAN LEGION posts around the country dropped it in favor of Yuenglings when Inbev bought it out.

Yeah, this is more my experience in the shops I frequent. There, bmc is the least carried products, with the least shelf space.

Was there no tone of sarcasm in the man's voice? What he said was so ridiculous it sounds like he was trying to be funny to me. If you were a woman, or if he was gay, I definitely think it would have been poorly thought-out flirting.

At my local craft brew extravaganza, I do get questions on what I am buying. "Do you like that one?" (pointing to what I am buying) "I dont know yet, figured Id try it" "I dont sell a lot of it, was considering discontinuing it" that sort of thing. The young guy likes to chide me for not drinking Chimay, which is apparently his favorite. I just ask if he's buying, and we have a chortle about it.

I'm the grumpiest gus you want to meet, but it just doesnt sound to me like this guy was being a d-bag.

This reminds me Revvy, first time I was ever abroad I went to Galway, Ireland in 2002. Found a nice pub, expecting to see everyone drinking Guinness or some local brew. Budweisser long-necks, the lot of them. So to the truck driver next to me I said (this is back when I was still talking to strangers, ha!) "here I come all the way to Ireland for a Guiness, and you Irishmen are drinking bud!" "Well... I like Guinness too..." "Oh I just mean its funny, everyone here is drinking American beer and us Americans are drinking Irish beer" "Oh... Budweisser is American beer?" We arent talking about an idiot or a jerk here, just a regular guy. A little ignorance goes a long way when it comes to confusing the hell out of people.

The General Manager is going to be in today around 9 so I have plans on calling about 10. I want to give him some time to get going so he does not have a dozen other things going on on like most managers just as soon as their feet enter the door.

I get this kind of thing all the time. Not so much from the beer store guys, they are pretty cool. Just random people saying things like "Oh, you like those foreign beers" or "Why do you drink that p*ssy beer? Drink an American beer"...I've almost gotten tired of showing those people the error of their ways...Almost.

Do you see where you live?

If you guys really have these experiences frequently, just laminate this and carry it in your wallet. Nothing else needs to be said.

I eat a lot of fiber so I can take a **** on somebody's counter at a moments notice. I solve a lot of problems that way.

How's that any different than putting a BMC 6er on the counter? #1 or #2, it has a similar effect.
