So, I got a new job. I gotta say, it seemed like the same old same old until today when I discovered that I now have an awesome job.
See, I started working at a liquor store. Today, one of the distribution reps came in, and he had a couple of new things to try and sell the boss on.
Rep hauls in this bottle of bourbon, starts talking about price points and bulk deals, boss says "Can I open it?" Rep says "If you're going to sample it, go ahead. I haven't had a chance to yet either."
So the boss opens this higher-end bottle of bourbon and pours three little cups... probably a little less than a shot, and hands me one. Apparently, this is a fairly common practice when the reps start pushing a new liquor.
My first comment after tasting it was "Damn, now I have to spend sixty bucks on a bottle of bourbon."
This particular bourbon was from Peach Street Distillers. Not a new company, just new to this distributor, or getting a sales push, or whatever.
However it happened, I definitely got to benefit.
I'm looking forward to the reps getting more new stuff... and I hope I'm there when they come in!
That is awesome covered in awesomesauce.
ReplyDeletePeach street distillers is located about 15 minutes from my house. Guess I need to spend $60 on a bottle of whiskey, too...
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd call that one of the cool ways to make a living.
ReplyDeleteI think there are several good whiskeys around for a third of that but I would take all the free samples of the expensive stuff they want to give though.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new job.

I need a job like yours ...
ReplyDeleteCongrats :-)
ReplyDeleteNot many occupations where you get to drink on the job. :-)
ReplyDeleteI was at the distillery this weekend. They are making some great stuff and are very generous pourers in their tasting room. If you're ever in Palisade with a designated driver or a place to crash within walking distance, check them out.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new job!
ReplyDeleteWhich distributor?
