Have you ever bought cigarettes for anyone?

At least once a month or so Sarge ends up picking up a pack or three for Mrs. Sarge.

 

Wanna feel real bad? Until last year, Mrs. Sarge owned and operated (50% with her brother) a local convenience store. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to the number one item sold? Yeah. Beer. But number two was cigarettes. Beer and cigarettes. Some of the very few things that pick up and sell better in a shitty economy.

 

300 packs a day ... on busy days (like this past holiday weekend) it would have been closer to 500.  That'll make you feel like a shitbird as a recent quitter.

 

The Sarges dervied about 1/4 of their income for the last ... 8 years or so (??? can't even remember when the place was bought, but it was sold last year) - 1/4 of household income came from selling beer and cigarettes.

 

The Sarge is a shit.

EDIT: because words and numbers are HARD.  Fixed typos.

I should think I used to buy them for mates when I was younger, but I wouldn't buy any for anyone again. Never again will cash leave my hands in exchange for a pack of cigarettes.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
