I did a gas station shop today and was reminded of the first time I did it. This is in a state where they sell liquor at almost every gas station.
It's early in the morning. I finish my outside observations and walk into the store. I look for the bathroom and don't pay too much attention to anything else.The clerk sees me walking through the store and tells me it's too early to buy liquor, that they can't sell it until a certain time. I'm a little stunned. I ask her why she would assume I'm there to buy liquor. She says, well, that's all we sell here. This is a liquor store. I look around and sure enough, she's right. I laugh and tell her I thought it was just a regular convenience store, and that I assumed she thought I was some kind of hopeless drunk there to buy liquor first thing in the morning. The guy behind me says, well, that's what I came in here for.
