We went to the liquor store yesterday. The Denver Mayor had threatened to close down
liquor stores and dispensaries and what ensued was bit of panic.
My wife decided that, although she was
not a hoarder and did not have to have food to survive, the slight mention of
possibly living without wine was too much to bear. We went to just replenish our stores.
She was in the wine area when some dude violated the six-foot-corona-safe-zone. She told me that he moved down the row and
he followed her, way, way, way too close for Corona-comfort. She said “Why did
he have to be in Cabernets?!? There was
a whole row of Chardonneys! Why couldn’t
he have been in Chardonneys? Did he
absolutely have to have Cabernets at that moment?! I mean, my God what is wrong with people?!?”. My sentiments exactly Dear.
She went to check out and was in the process when the phone
rang, and the clerk answered.
Clerk: “You want a case of wine? Yes mam. What wines would you like?”
Phone: “blah blah. “
Clerk: “You mean just anything? White? Red? Does price matter?”
Phone: “BLAH BLAH!!”
Clerk: “Yes Mam I understand the situation in Denver, but
this is Conifer, we are absolutely NOT going to run out of wine and liquor in
Conifer. We will get a case ready for pickup.”
You can raise the terrorist threat level to Mach 7 and
people will not give it a passing glance.
You can yell bomb, and people will clutch their martini a bit closer. You can show them that projections have
millions of people contracting COVID19 in the next month and they will buy toilet paper and party like it is 1999,
but you close the liquor and pot stores and baby you got a riot on your hands.
Hang in there.
Mountain Pig out.
OMG, that’s so true! The sheer mention of closing liquor stores had people googling how to make your own
ReplyDeleteAs for the social distancing, I feel excited that I might get the legit chance to use the young folks’ phase, ‘you better back up off me!” 😂😂😂.
