There’s a ton of context in this one, sorry, if you wanna skip to the juicy stuff then scroll down to the *-
This was a couple years ago, I was 23, I was working at a retail store in my small home town for a summer, and a friend of my parents walk in. We’ll call him Bob. I’ve known Bob for as long as I’ve been alive, he was my neighbor, his wife would baby sit me, and he had 3 kids all around my age so I would be over at his place all the time. Anyways, Bob walks in to my store and I decide to hook him up because he’s a really good family friend, and he was always treated us like family. I hook him up with my employee discount and he’s off to work on his project.
Fast forward a couple days and I get a text from him saying that he wants to buy me a beer as a thank you. I accept and he picks me up and we head to the local watering hole. It was around 6pm, and happy hour so it was packed with all of his work buddies that I also knew, along with his and their families.
