He snuck in a beer? *shakes head*<br /><br />We had a guy wander into the running store last week and ask to use the phone to call for a ride. Drunker than drunk and smelling of weed. He then proceeded to sit in one of our fitting chairs to wait.<br /><br />I was gonna give him 5 more minutes and then call the cops, but just then a van pulled up, he approaches the drivers side, they exchange talk and pass hands and then man stumbles off and van leaves.<br /><br />REALLY??? The dudes at my work wouldn't believe that a deal just went down there.
