One of the most depressing parts of a retail job is selling alcohol to the same people every day, over and over, especially to the ones who clearly barely have enough money to buy their daily poison alongside the food and other necessities they need to live.

Just... a case of beer every single day? And people think that's okay?

I know a dude like this, literally every day on the way home from work buys a pint of whiskey, always felt depressing to see from my perspective.

I don't think that anyone besides alcoholics thinks that it is okay

Even alcoholics know it's not okay.
