Slanging Booze For Life

Slanging Booze is not as easy as every one would think.  

Why capitalize it? I do that because Slanging Booze takes a lot of patience, optimistic outlook and tons of smile. On average I pull about 11 hours of work for 6 days a week.  I am not complaining nor am I showing off in anyway.  It is to show that a lot can happen in half a day.  

From depressed to ubberly excited customers, I service my smiles and customer service to everyone (within legal age of course).  I take that back, I do occasionally hand out sweets to customers and treats to dogs.  There has been run-ins with the few who are just having a bad day and happen to take it out on innocent by-standers. Me. Though that does not bring me down because I give those individuals benefit of the doubt. Why not?

From charities to non-profit organizations, my company supports it all.  Not to add, we are church-goers and support any faith that believe in a positive manner. 

“Where is she going with this?” you might ask your self. I am getting there.   

From customers I get many compliments of our service and humble attitude. Can you believe walking into a liquor and be greeted with a great big smile and full of energy? Believe it. I have a disease where I smile a lot and it is contagious. From e-mails, to phone calls and snail mail, I get many advertisements too.  Approximately 3 percent of those advertisements, I get an anonymous angry calls and mail.  

“Who would be upset at you?” you might wonder.  Easy answer.  

Answer:: Those 3 percent of course!  Within those 3 percent are people who truly believe that I am doing the Devil’s work. The work of selling alcohol. The spirit of Sin. 

I will get anonymous letters describing how I should be ashamed of myself and I will get reported to the city for delivering alcohol.  If only they put a returning address, I could send them a copy of my cartage license with a message saying:

   “I would be happy to deliver you some spirits any time during business hours.“ 

Today was an exception.  I got a nice pamphlet instead of an angry letter without a returning address, again. Here is the enclosed photo:

I had to laugh and kindly toss it in trash next to morning coffee cup.  Understanding that there will be those who does not agree with the retail industry of spirits. That is ok. I am content with that. I can only hope that they save their effort and money on better things. Feed a less fortunate, donate a bottle of water in this Texas heat or promote outdoor activities to kids who are glued to the television and game units. Be involved in with the community or help those who need a friend.

Aware that there are those who abuse alcohol, I am not the one to be blamed.  Get at those who abuse it and ask them why are they drinking the way they are?  I only sell to sober and of legal-age.  This is a place of business and I would not do anything to jeopardize my business. People are not aware of the penalties that comes with breaking the law. Mostly in the state of Texas.  If you are wondering, here is the link for all your information: TABC . It is not worth it for me to make a fifty dollar sell when I risk a hefty fine, shut-down and community service. 

To those of you who truly believe that I am doing the Devil’s work and keep sending me stuff, I will never stop doing what I do and continue to sell spirits to those who wants to celebrate just to celebrate.  We all have reasons to drink, eat and do what we do. At least we do it in moderation and with a smile.  

Please note:: If you or someone who might have the slightest thought that you might be drinking/eating and doing what ever you do more than moderation, please seek help.  I had provided information below:
