Liquor Store To-Do
FOUND by J.D.
in Concord, California
Found this list on my way to school. It seems to be the to-do list of a convenience/liquor store employee. I wonder if he ever found his walkie-talkie.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
What's the broken stuff they have to put in a soda try in order to clean the damn sink?
Why not just dispose of the broken stuff?
Find your own FUCKING walkie talkie! It's probably on the isle of liquors or something blah blah.
They sell the hard stuff in the grocery stores and drug stores in California. I'd forgotten that.
How many other states allow liquor sales (not just beer and wine) at grocery stores and drug stores?
I wanna vacation on the Liquor Isles in a grass skirt and a coconut bra!
This author sounds like he's a miserable person.
Most disturbingly, this appears to be a to do list written by the manager/supervisor -- not by the to-do-er himself!
Seems like rather hostile communication from one's boss to me. Rather abusive. But maybe the two are great friends and this style is all for a big laugh.
Sounds like the drudgery of the overnight shift...
On my list tonight:
comment on recent found, blah blah
Check.
A To-Do list with bullets? Yeah, I got yer bullets right here, buddy.
("Say, Chief, I found a walkie talkie, but it wasn't making whoopie with anything, so I left it out on the dock.")
Whomever had this list went for the cleaning tasks and avoided both the heavy lifting and the walkie-talkie finding.
Interesting that "the usual stuff ... blah, blah" [by the way, WHO types out "blah, blah" on their OWN list??] is in the middle of the list and not at the top or bottom.
Finally, I kind of like that this person went for the unusual stuff rahter that the usual stuff.
I suppose you're either on the liquor side or against it.
Boys and girls and music...
why do they need gin?
Liquor sales laws are weird things. Where my hallucinations originate you can't sell beer in a liquor store. You can't sell wine or liquor in a grocery or convenience store. That means you end up with liquor stores side by side with convenience stores that sell beer. So if you want to have a party and serve wine and liquor and beer you have to make at least two purchases.
When first reading the list I thought it said to put the Crisco and club in the cooler. Party, party, party!
I wish i had a to do list that was as interesting as this one. My list for today reads:
write a report
write another one
have lunch
go to a meeting
write a freaking report about that meeting.
go to the doctor and get that gross thing burned off.
You can get liquor and beer at grocery stores in chicago. I remember going off to college in Ohio and being totally confused at having to go to a separate store for beer and liquor.
What a Jagoff! The writer seems pissed off... If I found his FUCKING walkie-talkie I'd FUCKING break it then put it in a place where he would find it.
Cisco is the devil. I nearly killed myself (and somebody else) while on that stuff when I was a teenager. Drunk for days and a hangover that defies the imagination. I don't know what's in it, but if you told me that the government created it to annihilate poor people and stupid teenagers, I would have no trouble believing you.
You can buy wine, beer, and liquor nearly anywhere in Louisiana. They recently changed the law so that you can now purchase liquor and wine in addition to beer on Sundays after 12:00.
I wish I had a FUCKING walkie-talkie. I'd use it every day.
And I wouldn't lose it either.
This is my kind of found. I love lists and this one's a wealth of information. There so much insight to this persons personality. He/she's a list maker, unhappy with his job, a cusser, clean, neat and therefore prefers to use computer and type list. Plus he/she has some knowledge of marketing hence, make soda display look good. Probably has some Jr. College on his/her resume.
I guess the talkie walkied on its own.
In Wisconsin you can buy beer or wine or booze everywhere. But not past 9:00 at night for liquor or midnight for everything else. So places like Walmart or Target or the 24 hour grocery stores or the gas stations have to lock up the booze area at 9:00 and then the beer areas at 12:00. At least that's how it's handled around here.
We're drinkers in these parts so we make sure we're well stocked long before the bewitching hour.
Interesting find...I'm guessing there is a theme here...prom then let's hit the liquor store.
@ lil ol me - I think it's meant to say "put broken stuff in a soda tray"
I agree that it's typed out by a manager/supervisor, but it is SO unprofessional, even if they are running a convenience store.
You liquor, you brought her.
In Indiana, you can buy wine, beer, liquor at convenience stores, groceries, etc all the time except Saturday night at 3am until probably 12am Monday morning or on some holidays.
Also, this reminds me of to-do lists my boss, Rodney, would leave for me when I worked at Pleasures, a porn store. Sometimes there was even cussing.
ok..im confussed. how do you clean the inside of the outside window??? or the outside of an inside window? did the list reader do it, or just pretend he did?
because when your looking to get plastered, that soda display better look damn good, and the lotto tv better be damn clean.
mmmm. ice cream cooler...
I keep forgetting how easy is to get alcoholic stuff here in Calif, compared to other states in the USA. From 6 am to 2 am on any day of the week, you can buy beer, wine, and/or the hard stuff, and it's often all at the same place. That's about all there is to it. It's hard to get so drunk you can't remember how that works.
That's one DRUNK evil Stepmother!
I think this is hysterical because if it is, indeed, written to himself/herself as a to-do list, "find my FUCKING walkie-talkie" is completely something I would write.
When i make to-do lists and find that something has been on my list for WAY to long and it's not getting done and it is VITAL that it get done ASAP, I always write more forceful words to myself:
"read your DAMN book!!"
and i like that he did you bullet points. that's a lovely to-do list.
I love Pixie, she doesn't come around often enough.
It sounds like a list someone would make to the person who is replacing them for that day.
"I'm sick today, so for heaven's sake can you find my walkie talkie??"
Guess he REALLY wanted to find it :-P
where ARE the fucking walkie talkies?
bastards.
I can't find my goddamn fucking A walking talkie!
In North Carolina, you have to go to the liquor store for liquor, but you can get beer & wine anyplace. I went to a backwoods bar in some county with some guy one time, and they served liquor from the bottle we brought. That's how they did it. The bar didn't have liquor, everybody brought their own and turned it in at arrival. WTF? Where was I?

I love reading other people's lists. This brought back memories since I used to work at at liquor store with a very disgruntled angry boss. He never made me lists, but he got drunk every night and threw things (sometimes at the customers he didn't like). I loved the job.
Since only a few things are crossed off it appears that only part of the list actually got done. That's probably not good. Looks like the oh-so-important *stinkin* walkie-talkie never got found. Head are gonna roll when the boss gets back!
Sounds like someone is ramping up for Memorial Day weekend. Expect business to be brisk.
Here in Canada, you can only get beer at the Beer Store (we had to change the name from the 'Brewer's Retail', cuz outsiders didn't know what that was) and Liquor at the LCBO. Wine you can get at wine stores. Sometimes, in grocery stores, they have a separate store, within the store, to buy wine.
thats how we roll.
"Why didn't you get everything done today that I asked you to? What did you not understand about walking a thin line here?"
"But sir, I spent all this time typing up the list that I couldn't finish everything. But look, isn't it pretty? The hardest part was deciding between bullets or numbers."
(P.S. I pissed on your walkie talkie.)
Mona Lisa Flyin in a Blue Dream's comment was funnier than the original list!
Thanks - I see that (pseudo)smile!
In PA, you don't even have to get out of your car to get beer... you drive right up and ask for what you want, you pay, and then they put it in your car. It'd be nice if you could get wine/liquor that way too!
In AZ you can buy all types of alcohol at the grocery stores and gas stations. We also have drive thru liquor stores!
"I'd like a bottle of wild turkey, a pack of smokes, a bag of ice and a couple lottery tickets..." All without getting out of your car.
in louisiana, we have tons of drive through daiquiri places.
its only legal until you put the straw in. haha
Just get another walki-talki and call the lost one.
When you hear voices coming out yer ass, you'll know right where it is.
