It's impossible to buy beer at 7am without getting a snarky comment

[Lethe]

or at least some eye rolls or smirks

whats so wrong about working all night, then buying beer when you get off at 7am?

[LeftyFingerPop]

1. Because alcohol is the tool of the devil.

[DarkTirade]

2. People are assholes.

I didn't worry about it too much when I worked the night shift.

3. Take off your pilots uniform first... that may help. nt

[Droopy]

4. I work 3rd shift too, Lethe

One of the clerks at the corner store remarked to me one time that it was awfully early to be buying beer. I should have told the guy that I was a hardcore alcoholic, but I just mentioned that I worked 3rd shift. I guess he'd never heard of that before.

I haven't had any beer in a couple of months. I'm on a strict diet and beer is off limits, but I sure could go for a couple right now.

5. i usually say i'm going fishing

that works pretty well in texas...the sneers turn into nods of approval :D

hope the diet goes well :)

6. I would get some funny looks drinking at 7 am but then I work 1st shift.

7. Nope, we had a thread about this last week

Especially on Sundays, when people are going to church!

[Lethe]

10. i so wish i could buy beer at 7am on sunday

i live in texas, that is strictly prohibited. no beer sales until 12, and liquor stores not open at all on sunday :(

oh the agony for a good hair of the dog after a frisky saturday night

18. So what do alcoholics do?

That's so unchristian-like.

8. I used to work the midnight shift

and we would go to the local inn for beer and chili dogs at 7:30 a.m. and people would look at us like we were nuts.

9. You could be like a buddy of mine who was going out for a beer run one Friday night

the girl he lived with at the time asked him to pick her up some tampons

When my buddy put the Tampex and the twelve-pack on the counter the convenience store clerk took one look at his purchase and said,

"Big night huh?"

;-)

11. My first serious job I worked 3rd shift and we'd go to the bars at 7am

That was happy hour to us.

Mind you it was the diviest bar out there

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. Yes, but if you bought Bacon flavored vodka, no one would think twice.

[Lethe]

16. that might go well with a morning screwdriver

all part of a complete breakfast

[zanne]

17. Good one, Tommy_C! nt

[Blue_Tires]

13. breakfast of champions?

[Lethe]

14. nope. had breakfast about 8 pm

this is an after dinner digestif

:)

15. Ignore the snarks out there.

As long as you never enter the stored blitzed out of your mind carrying an assault rifle, there's no need for snark. Enjoy your beer.

20. We've got several bars that open at 7:00 am just BECAUSE of the night shift!

21. Two words: Las Vegas

When I started watching English football a couple of years ago, it meant going to the local pub for 7am games...Newcastle flowed, and not an eye is rolled. Well, except for the drunk who have been there all night, but that's another story.

22. If you'e selling beer at 7 a.m., judgment may be the only amusement to be found on the job. n/t
