Unfiltered Story #283505

It’s probably about 6pm on a Saturday, and my coworker and I are both near a phone, so she answers it. I’m very confused by her half of the conversation.

Coworker: “No, that’s not true at all. … Nope. … Well, it’s five o’clock somewhere, right? … Okay, bye.”

Me: “What was that about?”

Coworker: “Some drunk guy. He said someone told him we were closing. I heard other people in the background, and I think they were all a little tipsy. He said they might have started drinking early.”

We periodically get people asking if our chain of stores is closing because of old posts on social media. We’re doing fine–we’re actually opening a few stores a year at this point. This was the first time I’ve heard of a drunk person calling to ask!
