This brings back memories of working at a liquor store in the late 90s. We went through a surprisingly large amount of it. Usually to old Jewish grandmothers lol

I can just see the old yentas shuffling in at 2 am to pick up a gallon jug!
No, I’m done here, until the next pipe club.
Well close! Here in WI, despite all the booze we down, liquor stores usually close at 9. So they usually came in around 3 or 4, just before their 430pm dinner lol
In the ’70s, my brother used to work in a liquor store in Coney Island, Brooklyn. He used to sell bottles of cheap wine like Boone’s Farm, Thunderbird, Ripple, and Twister, mostly to the local hobos and drunks. One day, a one-legged bum came in on crutches and requested a bottle of Twister; he then proceeded to take off his single shoe and pulled a soiled two dollar bill out of it. If recall correctly, my brother drew the line and said he couldn’t sell him the bottle.
Yeah, most stores like that only accept glittery, moist stripper bills.
I have a son who has cerebral palsy and autism who works at an arena and before they went cashless he would come home with a giant wad of ones from his tips.
So I jokenly referred to them as stripper tips.
One day he wanted me to take him to Game Stop to buy the latest and greatest game and a new controller.
When the cashier asked for the money he pulls out this giant wad of ones and proclaims very loudly “These are my stripper tips”
The look on the cashier’s face was PRICELESS
My son is 6’7”
A Very Happy New Year to all of you! As a special treat, here's an update for you all. If anyone is in contact with GKChesterton, please let him know to post in the thread or otherwise let me know. I have a posse waiting.

I received mine and posted a pic.
SBC sure is, if GKChesterson turns out to be a deadbeat and not an accounting error. Anyone I sponsored in the past I guaranteed to make good if they didn't. That's how vouching works.
EDIT: The other part is that deadbeats get put on the naughty list and can't participate in future. At least, that's how it was done in the past.
Actually, back when I was in charge, we'd dispatch "Kindness Teams" to the deadbeat's address to inquire as to what may possibly be amiss, and to offer assistance. I'm not sure this is being done anymore, due to international law and Canadian tariffs.
