re: #12 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

I paid my first visit to the in-town liquor store on Monday night, last night. They had Plexiglas shields hung over the two cashier’s stations. The guy working the counter took the time to wait for me to roll the bar codes on the items I was buying to face him so he could scan them without touching. It just kind of drove the whole thing home; for a major chain like the gas station nearby, sure, that makes sense, but… the local hometown liquor store, owned and run by personal friends? Dude, it’s real now.

Yeah, that’s the view on the ground that the fuckup in the White House will never see, let alone understand. Hope they’re doing okay.

What state are you in, if you don’t mind sharing? Liquor store are open here in NJ, but I believe they’re closed in PA. At least the state-run deals where you can only get wine or liquor; beer is at separate distributorships, and I’m too lazy to check to see what their deal is.

PA has very weird liquor laws. Makes us look quasi-sane; some supermarkets in NJ were finally allowed to start selling booze a few years back.
