Remy Martin

"Can you show me the small Remy Martin?"..... "It's $18...." "$18 for that?" I thought that was like $12 or something like that".......Where was she getting the Remy? North Carolina?

A & J

Give me that bottle with the A & J on it....yeah, that one rite there! Khris looks at me because the guy wanted Paul Masson! C'mon everybody, it's showtime! LOL!

Window Shopper!

Window Shoppers are not allowed! 50 was definitely on to something! Only, it doesn't apply to the LIQ!

Ghetto Liquor

"You know, where I'm from...the Ghetto Liquor is mad cheap. You know the Hennessy and all that, it's the wine dat be costing! This stuff is crazy man. I shoulda bought it from home.".......SMH! Folk!

Pet Bows!

They really make some satiny bows for dogs and cats and should not be worn by Ghetto Chicks, you know Shanequana and dem!  It's satiny coral.....not CUTE!

Infamous Beggar Breaks Down!

The infamous beggar....AKA, $ Lady had break down in front of the LIQ this a.m.!  She cussed each and every dealer out, "Y'all wanna use my apartment as a hotel and sleep over, but y'all can't help me out with a $1!"  I ask you honest, hard-working taxpayers.....why would you pay for this woman to have a nice 1-bedroom apartment for her to be a beggar and rent out her space? SMH! 

Mount Chablis!

I am a firm believer of not drinking something you cannot say or pronounce!  We had a customer come in and ask for Mount Chablis!  What he meant was Carlo Rossi!  SMH!

Solution 2 Poverty!

Sometimes...no, most of the time, I wonder where do folks get the money to spend $100 on Lotto and $75 for a bottle?  Then, they complain that they cannot afford their subsidized rent which usually amounts to a measly $550, including lights and gas!  I wonder......

I Still Can't Hear You!

Miss, is Lotto closed? No, sir...what would you like?  I can't hear you!  Sir, what would you like? Miss, I cannot hear you!  Then, he storms off angry!  IDK why!  Did I forget to mention he had on three hats and his hood tied closed!  Stupid folks! 

How Much Is The Bottle In the Window?

Seriously.....if another brainiac asks me how much the bottle is while inserting the price....I'm gonna lose it!  It's exactly what you just said it was!  Ding Dong!

The Infamous Beggar

She just won't quit!  Every single day, I tell this chick she cannot ask my customers for spare change and everyday, she feels the need to tell me I'm interfering with her potential to make a profit!  What!?!  I tell the lady that it is illegal to panhandle in NYC!  What does she care?  Nada!  I can't stand it!  This is the same wench that gets upset if folks don't give her a $1!  She could clean a floor somewhere, right?

I Just Don't Understand!

OK, guys....when you get in your house and it's cold and rainy outside, would you leave your house repeatedly to purchase scratch tickets?  I mean, just one?  I simply can't wrap my head around it....

You Have All Played Monopoly, Right?

We all have played mo-nop-o-ly, right?  So, why are folks in this hood acting like it's a new invention "mono-polo", "munpolo".....it gets exhausting!  Really, Monopoly folks!

Ever Wonder?

Ever wonder folks get the money to play $40/$50 numbers a day or buy countless scratch offs all day everyday?  If you know, please advise.....

Braids, Cornrows and Such...


I lie to you not....grown man 40+ with cornrow, braids or whatever you wanna call them!  Seriously?  Then there's another dude, stuck hopelessly in the 70's....you know on some "I'm Gonna Get Ya' Sucker" stuff!  He where's the felt bowler hat (no matter what the temperature) and the platform shoes!  SMH!

Honey, Are You OK?

How do you tell the cute, little old lady that nothing's wrong and it's actually her bad breathe that's bringing tears to your eyes?  I'm just saying....everytime she comes here, she asks the same question and I am forced to lie!  What's a good ol' Southern girl to do?

Grown Men....

Why must you stand in front of and in the LIQ to sell your stuff?  Then you get angry when I say you can't!  WTF?  Isn't it bad enough that you're able-bodied, grown and slingin'?  My 13-year-old said, "Mom, what are they doing?  Why can't they work?"  IDK!  Why can't they work?  Is it "The Man" or themselves holdin' them back?  SMH!

Do I Really Have to Touch That?

Folks come in and dig through the trash and then lick their fingers to give me money! Do I really have to touch that or is that being uppity? Those of you who know me, know I give them the face!

Fixed Incomes?

How do you feel about folks on a fixed income using it to purchase scratch offs and play LOTTO? Well, even though it patronizes my establishment, it still burns me up! The minute the funds hit their accounts, here they go and then they get upset when they are broke! Folks let me know how you feel......

C'mon!

Zimpindale? Really? OK, I am going to draw the line....if you can't say, don't drink it! ZIN-FIN-DEL! Only a few more minutes of murdering the hits here at the LIQ!

Why Do Our Sisters Do This?

We have polls in the middle of the store and music is playing.....why did the girls jump on the poles and begin to wind down? We gotta start acting like ladies! Then the guy started to berate her and tell her how beautiful she was.....SMH! Did I mention, she has a face only a mother could love! LOL! I mean, I am sure she is a nice person and all, but maybe her self esteem is a bit low, hence the public pole dancing....sorry no tips tonite!

I Am The Manager!

Don't you just love it when folks try to negotiate your prices. "Yo, I can get that in my hood for like $10!" Did I mention it was a liter of Hennessy? Really? Well, you don't have to buy it here! SMH!

Another Addition

We are now serving "Assoloot".....yep! That's what the lady asked for! We sold her the Absolut instead.....she paid and was quite happy!

In The Hood...We Rename Everything

.....we have yet another wine to add to our list of "I don't know what I'm drinking....I think I saw it on TV or heard in a song?". The new addition is Armer Hammer....IDK about you but I think Arm & Hammer makes baking soda among other things, but not wine. Perhaps they were looking for Arbor Mist? One nevers knows....one thing we do know? The hood will rename things in a minute!
