An inside joke with the coworkers.

I used to work at a liquor store, the company specialized mainly in wine.

I was a beer guy and had a good time with it.

One night im chatting with my coworker shutting down a sampling station when a couple guys come up and ask if we have 4Locos.

The employee answered honestly.

Now this company was unique in which it wanted to keep away from malt liquor beverages. I never got a clear answer why but anyway.

We tell the customer we do not carry the 4Loco brand of beverages.

His friend next to him then asks “Do you have the grape 4Locos”?

It became an inside joke.

I look at my co worker then back at him and say “no 4Loco products sorry but we have other beverages.”

They say no and decide to move on.

It became an inside joke between my co worker and i to ask each other for 4Locos and then ask about the grape flavor.

The best random encounter shared together.

That’s funny! Those customers weren’t too bright.
