When I worked in an off license(liquor store) I worked the night shift. That meant all the shy hardcore drinkers would come in. I also had to deal with the drinkers from the pub across the road who would come in to buy some cans on the way home.

I once stayed in a B&B in the poorest province of a Caribbean island and visited the ghetto as fuck Chinaman stores they had everywhere, and god damn it was ridiculous. They'd sell single beers (Polar) for $1, and all the local poor ass blacks would loiter around drinking them up. Nobody bought cases of beer. Just single beers from the Chinaman ripping them off.

It was all very surreal. Definitely a food desert. I bought bread and cans of tuna fish and mayonnaise and ate mostly that for the eleven days I stayed there. That and a bunch of single Polars.
