The liquor store I usually go to always has an old Indian dude working that wears a turban and barely speaks English. I actually don't know if he even speaks a word of English because he is silent every time even when ringing me up. It's fuckin bliss

Way beyond that point mate. Although, I stopped drinking liquor because of the mental and physical toll after 10 years of straight up abuse, but back in the day when I was flying high I couldn't give a fuck what store I repeatedly went into and I never even got a sideways look about it from people I saw all the time except for one Japanese guy at a corner store. They were friendly to me and I was friendly to them and never came in wasted, only got wasted later.

Work at a Walgreens.
Got a lawyer who come in 3-4 times a day for a 375ml bottle of Vanguard Vodka, ask him why not just buy a 1.75ltr bottle and pour it into a flask, save a ton of money, tells me he is an alcoholic and he would just drink the big bottle all at once, he walks to my store from his office.

Got a German woman, used to be a college professor, drives a formerly nice Mercedes, been wrecked a lot, she buys 2 1.75ltr bottles of Christian Bros. brandy every other day, always pays with dirty, sticky, hairy change some of it is obviously covered in shit, I have her drop it in a plastic container and I wash it in our photo department, she is never drunk or slurry so the manager says "Make the Sale".

Got a woman, Hot as Hell, who works in a call center across from my store, she gets off work just after we close the department, so she gives me a hundred bucks when I see her at church on Sunday and I buy 5 bottles, Clos du Bois Fume Blanc, I keep them in our walk in cooler and give her 1 bottle every night when she meets me in the parking lot, I only carry the wine at our location for her, she is 50, blonde, blue-eyed, used to be a stewardess, always wears a short skirt black dress and knee high boots, no bra, she drinks a bottle a night, claims not to be an alcoholic, is raising her daughters child, he is half black, looks all black, the kid is also the child of her daughter's father, my drunk friends ex-husband, the guy is in prison for killing my friends daughter, she keeps asking me to leave my gf and live with her, we have messed around but she is 25 years my senior with a 3 year old kind and is a drunk.

Old guy with an oxygen tank, he buys 13, honoring the original colonies, 30 packs of Milwaukee's Best Ice, every Sunday, in his PJ's, Robe, dirty as hell, slippers on and pulling his oxygen cart, that's 390 beers or 55 a day for a week, based on his guy it is probably his only source of calories.

It’s gotten weird for me bc the girls will comment if I get one bottle more or less than the usual, or if I deviate from my regular purchase, but they are pretty good bc they’ll let me buy the carton and keep behind the counter what I don’t want to drink that day.

Nah, I got over it a long time ago.
I'm not going to go out of my way just to buy booze at somewhere farther away just to avoid embarassment.

Was friends with one of the cashiers in a store near me for a while and she knew my issues and was pretty nice. All in all, you're just another customer with issues like everyone else. If you're petty enough to judge someone on it, hey: you're a cashier in a store.
Chances are they haven't been to war/have medical issues that would cause them to seek alcohol.

I'm not having an "affair", I just fuck her a couple of times a week, sometimes in my car, sometimes at a motel we go to, my GF works nights and I like to relax after 12 hours of working, I work 4 days a week also, when my GF is on her period, she sleeps on the couch she doesn't want me touching her, so Ms Clos du Bois is my backup, she no longer gets her period and wouldn't care if she did, I like her, but she is older than my mother, her body is still great but all the smoking and drinking have really taken a toll on her face, I don't go to her place because of the kid, not interested in being reminded she used to be married to a black guy.

And yeah, I make fun of her, probably because I am an asshole.

I used to work in Dan Murphy's which is probably the biggest liquor store in Australia.
The one I was working in was in a rough neighborhood. Every day the same group of homeless men would be waiting out the front of the shop for us to open, they'd all get the same box of cask wine and go and drink it under the bridge.

Anon, the fact that you would question whether or not to feel "embarrassed" by what others think of you, shows you are weak. Only weak people care about what others think of them. If you want to have a drink, go for it. If you want to get liquor every day, that's your choice.

The other liquor store I go to by my house is run by some indian. He always knows what I want and has it ready after he sees me walking in the door. We don't make a whole lot of small talk, but he's alright.
