Unfiltered Story #108911
(I work the midnight shift at a gas station in a college town. Needless to say that you meet all kinds of strange people on this shift, especially when the bars turn out around 2 o’clock in the morning. All businesses in my state are required by law to stop serving and selling alcohol at 2 on the dot. This particular shift I have a group of cops hanging around the station. At about ten minutes till 2, they get ready to leave when a taxi pulls into the parking lot and lets a lady out. One of the cops leans over and opens the door for her and she begins to laugh. It is at this point the cops and I realize that the lady is completely drunk.)
Lady: “Ah ha ha ha, oh what the f***, were you guys just, like, waiting for me?”
Cop 1: “Well you keep talking like that and we just might be later down the road.”
Lady: “Ah ha, oh, don’t all of you just wish you were sleeping next to me?”
Cop 2: “Nope.”
Lady: “Ah ha, oh, what the f***?”
(The cops let her by and they leave the store. The lady comes over to me at the register.)
Lady: “Ha ha, they don’t wanna sleep next to me.”
Me: “I can’t imagine why.”
Lady: *Perking up quickly* “Oh! You’re still selling beer!”
Me: “Not to you ma’am. You’re drunk.”
Lady: *Smile instantly draining from her face* “No, I’m not drunk. I’m just happy.”
Me: “No, ma’am, you’re drunk.”
(The lady is silent for a few moments then she smiles again.)
Lady: “Okay, well, I’ll just go shop somewhere else.”
Me: “Okay, you take it easy.”
(She goes back to her taxi. I start laughing because I know for a fact that none of the other station in the area will sell her alcohol. I tell my manager when she arrives in the morning and she thought it was hysterical.)
