I readily admit that an Old Fashioned is best made the old proper way (no cherry, no water/soda, lemon peel-- not an orange wedge), however it's fun to experiment.  Tonight I made one out of Meyers Lemon and used orange bitters.  It's a totally different drink and it's quite good.  It's not a replacement but it's definitely not bad.  What are your versions of this cocktail?

Customer: Y'all happen to have any hand sanitizer? Last Call Luke: Yep, there's a large bottle of it sitting over there on that unused register. Customer:  Cool.  Is it free? Last Call Luke: What?  Have you actually been charged for using hand sanitizer? Customer: Shit yes.

A customer asked me to watch their kid while they shopped.  Seriously.

I realize that I haven't written much lately.  I just had a very rough semester where I had more than usual on my plate.  That semester is over.  I am now a supervisor at the liquor store.  On my first day as a supervisor a woman came in who was literally COVERED, from shoulders to knees, in what I can only imagine by smell, to be human waste.  We kicked her out because she was an actual health code violation.  One hour later, I sold $80 worth of craft beer to Mr. George Wendt, aka Norm from Cheers.  Last Call Luke is back, in full effect.

Not a quote, but a customer buys a pint of Barenjager a day.  Listen to me.  A whole PINT of honey liqueur EVERY DAY.  I'm not saying he's an alcoholic or whatever, I'm just saying that man REALLY digs a very unusual alcohol.

Last Call Luke: (reading the wine label) Ah, here it says "aromas of chocolate, deep dark blackberries and luscious red fruits."  Nope, that sounds more like Cab or a Merlot to me.  Maybe they mean red velvet like the fabric.  Y'know, smooth, maybe. Customer: That's a bunch of bullshit if you ask me.  I want cake wine.

"Oh, it's free!" isn't a quote from any one customer.  It's a quote from about ten random customers I hear every night I work every time the barcode scanner doesn't immediately register their purchase.  They think they're original and hilarious every time.
