Seriously

After my little rant about crappy customer service, I’ve tried to give customers the best service I possibly can while working at the Bottle Store. Sometimes though customers just ask the stupidest questions.

Today a woman in her forties approached me and asked “So this Vodka stuff, is that like Gin?”. I told her that Vodka and Gin are similar in that both are produced from grains etc. The difference between the two is that Gin is flavoured with juniper berries. Damn good answer if you ask me. Then she asked “I always drink Gin, but it gives me a headache in the morning, will Vodka give me a headache?” Umm, what the hell am I meant to say to that. I suppressed the laughter and politely said that different liquor has different affects on people, but most people would experience hangovers or ‘headaches’ after a big night of drinking. To which she said “Oh, that’s no good, I think I’ll look somewhere else then.” and left the store.
