Cocktails at the jewelry store? - Page 6

depglass · ‎03-10-2010

I was an antique dealer/collector. I remember only one store that served alcohol with its grand opening. Of course I bought more than I normally would. I no longer drink, but I would shy away at a jewelry store, I don't need any nudges to buy.

How totally inappropriate but then nothing really surprises me today! Ever notice on QVC kitchen shows certain hosts talk about cocktails and drinks.....totally inappropriate!
@ScarletDove, I don't imbibe, but probably the majority does enjoy it. I'm not clear on the reason that offering a glass of wine or cocktail (although the latter a bit more unusual) or mentioning them on QVC (they do, in fact, sell wines) is at all inappropriate. I seriously doubt their either leads to any abuse or danger.
@suzyQ3 I do not imbibe either, an occasional glass of wine. My cousin died from his alcoholism and my ex-husband was a drinker, could not handle it, I got to experience it! A bit sensitive!
@ScarletDove, both my parents drank quite heavily. I, too, am very aware of the abuse and its toll. I think that we both just approach it differently.

@suzyQ3 Agreed!

Today I went to a jewelry store I’ve never been to. I needed a lot of watch batteries and found the place by accident while driving around. I’ve been driving around with a stash of dead watches for months, hoping for a convenient place to get them done. Found it! So I walk in after they buzzed me through the door and put in my request. While waiting for them to be done I’m just looking around, only a few other customers aside from me. After a while I notice a guy leaning on a counter and he seems to have a colorful drink he’s sipping on, then I noticed there is a full bar set up in the corner! I’ve never seen such a thing. Sure I’ve seen people having a champagne toast or something similar, but never a full bar with a lot of bottles of liquor. So funny. And funnier it took me at least 15 minutes to notice LoL. I wonder what is the deal with that. It’s a very nice jewelry store and they had a lot of expensive looking merchandise. Maybe a free cocktail with every purchase? I didn’t qualify with my watch batteries purchase, too bad.

I am so glad there are channels like JTV and Shop LC. Jewelry stores are so so over priced now they want to play happy hour lol.

If I recall correctly, Oprah had a similar experience. I think she was in Europe and was interested in an expensive purse.

I remember that story! Yes she was somewhere in Europe although I don't think she said where. She pointed to a pricey purse on a shelf and asked to see it. The clerk snipped "You can't afford it!"
