Which Way Is Up? #ThisIsWhyIDrinkWine

There are a few stores that I go to where they know me, or I am just grabbing 1 thing. In cases like that, I just grab my debit Mastercard out of my purse, leave my purse in the car and run in to the store. On Saturday, I wanted to buy a bottle of wine at my "regular" store and did just that

Cashier: Debit or Credit?

Me: It doesn't matter! (note: because it doesn't - my bank is awesome)

(rings it through as credit, I sign the computer pad)

Cashier: I'm sorry - I'm going to need to see some ID

Me: My purse is in the car - I don't have it on me. Why do you need to see my ID anyway?

Cashier: Because the signature you just gave me doesn't match the one on your credit card.

Me: Of course it does!

Cashier: I'm not going to be able to accept this without ID (holds my credit card up to his computer screen where the signature I entered is displayed). The signatures aren't even close

Me: Ummm - you might want to try not holding my credit card upside down.

Sometimes it’s the little moments like these that make running errands feel efficient and stress-free. Buying a bottle of wine from my regular store is one of those simple pleasures that adds a touch of relaxation to the weekend.

Of course, if you’re in the mood to explore more wine options or can’t make it to your usual store, checking out a wine shop online can be a convenient solution. With so many websites offering a variety of wines, it’s easier than ever to browse through selections, read reviews, and have your favorite bottles delivered straight to your door.

On the plus side, at least I was ALREADY buying wine!
