Sounds good to me! I get paid Friday and have Wed. and Thur. off. I usually work 6am-330pm.

I never thought of alcohol and cigs as barter items. Great idea!

The problem with the smokes is make sure to vaccum seal them, as dry air isnt tobacco's best friend. Cigarettes didnt work well in my humidor (too little space, plus the paper wasted away) but I had a pack sealed for a year (started the process when I arrived in Indy), gave it to a friend (new smoker) and he said it tasted really fresh.

If there is a catastrophic emergency, only critical items will most likely be transported, so booze and smokes may dry up. Not to mention, rum doesnt really go bad, and through compressed value, it will not lose value. An ear of corn is not much, but when made into alcohol form, it goes hundreds of times up in value.

Heck, even my small SHTF bag has a bottle of wine in it for "celebration".

Peterock: Generally, do you see alot of people going to cheaper alcohol in bars (like more domestics and well drinks) compared to top shelf booze? I ask as your points have me intrigued!

For the most part people still drink what they drink.. It's the tipping they have decided to stop doing.

I tended bar for 6ish years. Any given day, it can be the best or the worst job in the world. After a while, it's hard to stay above getting jaded or burnt out.

Sad, you guys having to put up with assholes like me all the time

. I tend to suck up to the tenders... I know it doesnt work for more booze, but it does allow them an outlet from time to time...

Pete: Sucks about the tipping man. From what I hear, that is the mainstay (like a waiter/ess) of their pay. Why not roll them for their wallets at the door? The're drunk anyway
