We set out to rate ABC stores, not the people who staff them, but among our favorite clerks was a natural storyteller encountered in this well-organized store. Now 13 years sober, he told us that dealing with drinkers makes it easier to stay that way.
Behind the stunning exterior of the Garysburg store, the first fully self-serve store in the county and one of the newest ABC stores in the state, is a notable selection of spirits and a motivated sales crew attired in pink V-neck shirts. According to the board’s Facebook page, those tees will soon be available for sale. (The enticing restrooms are still staff-only, though.)
