Just saw the craziest thing at the Liquor Store just now

[Mayne]

so i'm paying for my 6 pack of beers...need em for jays game in 30 minutes. This guy walks past me with 2 60 pounders of tequila and proceeds to walk out the store...the lady that was ringing me up says "excuse me..are you going to pay for that?" the guy stops and says "today ain't your day, lady" and walks out the store and thru the parking lot and out of sight.

I read somewhere the lcbo can't stop someone from stealing ...but now I saw it first hand. Anyways, still a WTF moment lol.

 

[blackangst1]

whats a "60 pounder"?

 

[IronWing]

A measure of tequila.

 

[lxskllr]

whats a "60 pounder"?

That goes back to the old days when English distillers would bottle tequila in .5 gallon crocks, and charge 60£ each for them. The name stuck as an anachronism.

 

[Mayne]

I always thought a 60 pounder was 60 ounces.

Yup and it used to be very close to the price as well..

Guys burglarize homes looking for drug & alcohol money. Just walking out with it seems much more to the point. Too bad he's on camera. Right?

 

[Mayne]

yeah he was on camera...wish he wasn't same height and same look as me. Now i'm gonna be paranoid next time going in.

The plot thickens ...

 

[Mayne]

mongrel i don't steal. haven't stole a thing in 25 years since I got off crack.

 

[Linux23]

So you went from crack to alcohol and weed. Nice.

 

[Puffnstuff]

I'll bet Mayne is the kind of guy to drive in the HOV lane with blow up dolls riding along as passengers.

It would be rude to leave his girlfriend home while he went out to dinner.

Actually it's 18 everywhere in Quebec.

But yeah, back when I was in university, at age 17, I was drinking there because the 18 years of age requirement was not enforced much.
