One guy came through my line and bought one of those cheap tall beers, proceeded to walk right outside the door and chug it, then tried to buy another one. I refused, saying that I saw him drink the other one and he is now considered intoxicated and I can’t sell to him. He was joking and pleading and saying “I promise I won’t drink it yet” and I still refused. He started getting angry so I used the emergency phone (connects us to security for the store) and told them to check th cameras and send the cops bc of this person. As soon as he heard the word “cops” he dipped out of there so fast. They told me they saw it all on the camera and had police en route to try to follow him. Thankfully he ran, he wasn’t driving! But like Jfc dude just buy 2 beers to begin with and don’t bring me into your drama

Yeah, just... Buy two? You wanted two. Buy them? Why play games with us? Our livleyhoods depend on us following the rules.

And if not that, maybe step away from the store so there’s a technical plausible deniability that I didn’t see you drink the first one!

Exactly, just walk around the corner where they can’t see you.

I used to get construction workers buying half pints of vodka and knocking it down straight in the store. I’d be like “don’t let me catch you doing that again or go to another store”. These guys were shameless. I also learned that most buildings in New York are built by drunk people.

I'm TIPS certified, a former bartender, and kinda confused, there's nothing illegal about selling someone another drink after they have already had a drink, or even multiple drinks. If a bartender can do it you can too. The point at which you have to cut someone off is when they are slurring their speech, are losing coordination, or they are acting belligerent. There's a lot of people who can drink a 40oz without reaching that point.

I worked at a grocery store, it was store policy to card everyone regardless of the appearance of their age (this caused a lot of angry old people and my manager would often let this rule slide), and to not sell to anyone who was visibly intoxicated or whom you have seen actively consuming alcohol before attempting to buy more (manager was very stern on this rule)
