no, you can’t help me shithead. there is nothing in this liquor store that i don’t already know. i’m not interested in the new sugar liquor in the blue bottle, or the new exciting coors beer you’ve imported all the way from america. or the unbelievably over-priced wine you think is good. or the same shit you’ve sold me for the past 40 years. i’m in a good mood, talking to my wife and her friend across the isle. and you follow me, and follow me. you have a fucking security guard for some reason, and still you follow me. ‘can i help you?’ again. the place is hideous like a new mall, that absolutely nobody wants, but it’s the only place that sells booze. how did it get like this? are we children? a little stockholm syndrome maybe? fuck this place. —you make more than people who do real work

uh? no it’s not.

and it has even better hours… and is open holidays until 5pm.
or even bishops cellar….
I get where you’re coming from though.
They rape us in the ass with these hyper-inflated alcohol prices.
They make more and drink way more….no wonder they are so jovial.
While I doubt the need for the fancy big stores they are building; I do appreciate from time to time some help finding something; or a suggestion on something new they have. I’m buying booze anyway, why not try something new.
Paranoid much? And if you hate it so much, THEN DON’T GO THERE.
I’d love to see the NSLC privatised and beer and wine sold in the corner stores, we are adults aren’t we?
The day it happens I predict Joanie Jessome will return from Sydney after defending the local bobbies.
Oh stop being so overdramatic and tantrumy. Seriously. Your reaction is akin to burning down your house to kill a spider. I’d hate to see you face actual mild inconvenience. If a guy ever goes on a shooting spree over an overdue book fine, we’ll all know who it was.
NSLC sucks in every way, no doubt. There are better and worse feeling stores, but its always the same overpriced options. So tell those bitches how you feel. tell the in-store police guy you’re being followed.
Were you shopping for hooch with Oprah?
Holy fuck, you could have made a joke about it.
I’ll wager that you’re an old wrinkly with the temper and outrage of a spoiled 10 year old – a typical affliction of many Boomer seniors, Mr. or Ms. ‘I’m A Dick and That’s Your Misfortune’.
Maybe this person was just trying to do their job and be helpful?
I wonder if that soi99 or whatever the fuck his name is wrote this.
Sound like you need to get off da sauce.
Dickbag orgy? How about a Pussyriot? Wimmin hold up half the sky, y’know.
More than half, when you factor in some of the surviving Dipper MLAs.
OP, you’re clearly an asshole who would also complain if you received no offer of assistance. Your life must be a pretty sweet deal if that is your bitch….
“SCREAMS LANGUEDOC”!
Clearly, Halifax needs a weekly wine columnist to comment on a selection currently available in the NSLC stores. Take our local columnist in The Gazette. He reviews three wines, usually red but some whites, each Saturday. I clip out the ones I’m interested in – they’re in the $20- $30 range – and lay them down for a few years. I currently have about 50 bottles in my cellar.
Here’s one of his latest. It’s a modest price but one drinks for “terroir,” right?
“Drinks with ease, screams Languedoc
Coteaux du Languedoc 2010, L’Epervier, Chateau Pech-Redon, France, red, $20.85, SAQ #1050726
One of the best Languedoc wines I’ve tasted all year. Unless you absolutely detest a light earthiness, this is pretty close to the ideal mix of new world fruit and old world finesse. Complex fruits, rosemary and thyme, round but gritty tannins. Drinks with ease and screams Languedoc. Serve at 16C. Drink now-2016. Food-pairing idea: leg of lamb with mustard.”
When the clerk comes up and asks if he might help you, just show him the clipping. He’ll do the rest.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
From labia to red wine pairings… how well-rounded of you MM!

Labia can be likened to a pinkish red wine….the more aged the sweeter. Lol.

Really? REALLY! Who knew! And red wine turns to vinegar…
When I worked at the NSLC I was busting serious work in the bayers lake store when it used to be next to Kent’s years ago. Stocking CONSTANTLY. Why aren’t you complaining about the government workers who sit in offices all day and only do about 1 hour of work in 8 hours. Sometimes I was working 13 hour shifts around christmas time. Doesn’t seem like OP has thought this through.
let’s gross out meaty…..with the old ones, one doesn’t have to worry about the red tide.
