Which Type Are You?

Here is a list of the main types of customers we get in the store in no particular order. Which one are you?

1 The guy looking for a cheap, high alcohol beer.

2 The First Date couple who just came out of a movie and want to extend the night and loosen up by getting a bottle of wine. They usually can’t agree on the type of wine to get.

3 The Lurker who is with their wife/girlfriend but she is somewhere else in the mall that he doesn’t want to be.

4 The Tourist. The Tourist has many sub categories.

  • A The European looking for Canadian wine.
  • B The Asian looking for Canadian Ice wine.
  • C The American looking for Budweiser, or Yellow Tail.
  • D The Ontarian looking for BC wine, because the communist rules of the LCBO don’t buy BC wine.

5 The Party Animals coming out of the bar who are trying to keep the party going like rock stars, and they buy a bottle of Vodka, a wine and a case of beer…EACH! You laugh at them because you know you are not going to wake up in the morning beside the toilet.

6 The Romantic who comes in looking for a wine they had 10 years ago that was really good…Do you know the name of it? It has a different looking label, it is really good.

7 The Regular who surprise you by buying something different from what they have purchased over the last few months.

8 The soon to be alcoholic who is looking for a Mickey of vodka. I believe they are looking for a Mickey because they don’t trust themselves only drinking part of the bottle if they buy a 26er.

9 The Dreamer who is going to buy a couple of wines under $20, but looks around to see what else there is… thinking someday I will be able to afford the bottle over $20.

10 The Wine Geek looking for something new and interesting.
