Poll of the Day > My tiny liquor store has the second most units of Aperol in the state

(+) Yeah! (+)

(PA, gov't owned liquor store, etc)

Aperol is an Italian liquor that is bitter and citrusy in taste(or so I am told, I have actually never had it). People love Aperol, but it doesn't sell well everywhere. In fact, while my store has 88 bottles, which is the second most in the entire state of Pennsylvania, we don't generally sell too much of it.

I am continually getting in Aperol because last summer, while working at a different store, the warehouse ran out and it was like 2 weeks before they could restock, and I saw people go crazy for Aperol...I was working in a store in one of the richest areas of the state, so I saw first hand how this ravaged the local community.

So, that rich store is located 5 minutes down the road. Inbetween that store and mine is probably the richest area in the entire state. I work in kind of a poor area, and past me down the road is actual poorsville. My thinking is if the warehouse runs out of Aperol again, fuck you, you have to come down to my little cubicle. And who knows what else these rich people are going to want to buy? This could be the money making scheme of the century! Another 3 cases on Friday bringing me up to 15. I can bring in as much as I have space in my back room or until somebody higher up asks me WTF I am doing and cuts me off. Knowing I need a way out if my plan fails and the warehouse never runs out of Aperol again, one of our licensees is a country club that buys a little Aperol, so eventually it will get sold.

This, folks, is business acumen!

congrats on your scheme I like it

I now officially have the most Aperol in the entire state at 99 bottles, AND the warehouse has run out.

Let the games begin!
