(I’m sober)

But the liquor department had a reset

Which means we get a bunch of new products

And are discontinuing a bunch of other stuff

So there’s a bunch of pricey bottles at like a 60% discount

I was gonna experiment and take risks with some stuff I wouldn’t normally buy

I selected a few bottles and was like “okay this should be good”

Amd then the wine steward says “hey Eric”

“We have a limited run bottle of Michter’s Rye 10 years”

And I really like rye

And Michter’s is a good brand

But it’s $70

And I’m already dropping a hefty amount on the discontinued stuff

What’s a man to do?

“Buy less alcohol” YES I KNOW BUT ITS SO TEMPTING

I mean, as a one-off thing...

Especially if it's seventy bucks but like, marked down from what?

Now normally I'd be concerned about dropping lotsadollars on booze, but it's not every day you see a sweeping 60% discount on Nice Shit

The michters is separate. It’s not marked down

Ah, damn.

Sometimes you just need to get something nice for you. Yeah, you're trying the sale stuff and that's expanding your horizons! But that rye might be something to enjoy for a special occasion.

"Salsa, stop enabling people."
I work retail, that's my job.

Now the strictly most responsible thing to do would be to not, alcohol is a luxury and all, however I'm going to throw on my shoulder devil costume for a bit here

Presuming you are able to afford it in a responsible manner, you sound about as burnt out with your job as I am, which is saying a lot, and you do in fact deserve nice things if this is a nice thing you sincerely want.

I can afford it

But dropping like $200 on alcohol is a lot

-oh, you were raiding the beverage clearance. Maybe not then.

Goddamn you really went in there both barrels

If i get the michters that’ll be 4 bottles

It's a your call thing, it sounds like you're already making out like a bandit

Actually let’s see what it would come out to without it

...if the rest is 60% off you were buying some Good Shit if you're still at $200 with that last bottle.

Yeah for all 4 bottles, $201.60

eternities: part of it is liquor taxes in Seattle are through the ROOF

Ah right, Washington state.

I forgot y'all go ham on giving Uncle Sam a cut up there.
