Maybe you misheard, and she really meant "Can I buy you a drink later?"

Unless it is Bud Lite.
Someone buying a case of beer not causing a problem, should be just that, not a problem.
Unless it is Bud Lite.

It was behind her mask.
Should have asked her if she had been smoking a joint on her break.
It was behind her mask.

I haven't used a human checkout at Walmart for years.
Sam's in La Paz isn't crowded so I get humans over there. 25 bucks for admission really keeps out the riff raff.
The majority of stuff I buy is food and dog food when I'm down in Baja.
I go to Kohl's for shit like socks, underwear, t-shirts, etc. It's not crowded in there at all.
I dislike shopping anyway. l

I'm an adult man that just got off work and drove my kid to a movie to meet up with friends. Sure she didn't know that. I enjoy my beers at night. It was just offensive. I've never ever been questioned about that in my entire life. Especially by some 21 year old cashier when it's none of her business. There's probably people shoplifting right behind me and she's worried about me drinking???? I wasn't. Oh and I paid for my stuff...
Fact is she was wearing a mask, which is pretty rare in IL in lower population areas (this wasn't my town). So that shows her intelligence level. She was probably breathing her own unwashed mask saliva in.
When I'm falsely accused of something I get pretty upset. Was accused of steal $600 cash from a campground in Indiana. I do fine, I don't need to steal. Cops came to our site and we're there with two kids. My wife and I were like WTF? Told them to search everything, do what they want. They didn't.
I have anger issues but it never results in violence. I just take action. I did in this case. We'll see what comes of it.

Recall she was wearing a mask. I don't care how hot you are. If you're still wearing a mask in mid 2023 you ain't my jam even if you're a super model. Walmart in this region doesn't require mask wearing. Plus I'm married and do wear the ring.
And no, she definitely said have you been drinking.

"Have you been drinking Sir?"
"Now you done IT!"
I get what you're saying. It's not the question being asked, it's the smug cockbites that ask the question tinged with their ESG CRT training.
I come across problematic "help" all the time. I just remind them that the help should be seen and not heard.
I make it known, I'm not a White Supremacist, but I am a Customer Supremacist. Without my dollars they would be without a job.
I like the ones that try to shit on me, like when returning something from Home Depot. They try to find every reason not to refund my money. After I just watched them bend over backwards for the Metro sexual in front of me, to get them a refund for an opened seemingly intentional damaged product.
I have learned to spot them, now when a Wokester says "Next", I'll tell the person behind me to go ahead, while I fiddle with my phone like I have an urgent matter.

It was a joke, implying a flirtation when there obviously wasn't one.

Come on Wookie, you should have responded "You sound like you're vaccinated." Alternately, "Are you a bartender or a checkout GIRL (Karen?)." "Are you on your period?" Best is "You're mean."
EDIT: She might have been flirting in the bratty sense. Yes, maskhole, but tatted/pierced or some other indication of superfreak status?

She was clean as far as I could tell tat wise, rare today. I just got done mowing so I looked like shit, so maybe that played into it. Maybe I sweat some of the beers out from the night before? Either way, it's not an appropriate question to ask a customer that is operating completely normal, gave her my ID, paid, etc. And fact is 9 out of 10 people wouldn't know if I've had beers without seeing it or it's my wife and she's the 1.

Oh I got the joke. I'm just still pissed about the interaction. Not in the joking mood about it. In a good mood, but this topic pisses me off.
I've had drinks by cops in public and they don't even care. Why does a Walmart "associate" call me out for something I wasn't doing?? Wearing a mask. She can't smell even if I dumped a bottle of vodka on me.
It's two core anger issues with me. First the covid thing with the bitch wearing a mask. Second, getting questioned when I'm buying beer and she asks if I've been drinking. That shit just doesn't compute with me. And I know I shouldn't be this angry about it, but I am. And maybe I'm the Karen for being overly offended. I just don't think it was remotely appropriate.

She'll learn he hard way eventually that you don't confront people who use and drink, even if you think they do. It's a guaranteed brawl.
She suffers from 'struggle session privilege' imbued by the lunatic milieu we call social conditioning these days. However, a struggle session of one apparatchik can result in a broken nose for the apparatchik. It never ceases to amaze me that the apparatchiks can be induced to believe that aggression will not be countered with an equal and opposite aggression with consequences.
I worked on welfare clients for many years. Crazy, drunk or stoned or all three were routine conditions. I would only suggest something if I never wanted to see them again when I had my business, because of hyper alertness sensitivity that they carry, but when working for employers, they always wanted to treat the perennially intoxicated as if they were 'normal'.
In California, it is pretty routine for people to inventory you and rudely point out what they regard as some flaw or defect (unless they think you have money or are trying to sell you something) and it's kind of a game who can get 'first strike'. It's part of the societal anti charm. It's called the 'I'm Ok, your are NOT OK' society, but a few people manage to work around it and remain nice.

Never would be me punching, but I get the point. There will be someone that IS actually intoxicated that WILL knock your lights out. I'm angry but I'm calm 99% with my outbursts. No yelling or raised voice as I have no need for the attention. I just let people know they fucked up. I finished checking out and let her know management would hear about it. Pretty much all I said. No one would even assume there was an issue.
Kill them with kindness. Yelling and making a scene makes you look like the crazy person. As rough as I seem here, I am a nice guy. It was just inappropriate. I get if I was causing a problem, question that I was drinking. I looked rough with grass all over me and maybe sweat last nights beer out. I don't know? I was simply checking out. For that to come up is nuts.

Few more days. I've been clean with weed for almost 90 days. Not sure if a surprise drug test is coming up on Tuesday or Wednesday. I am going to have fun though next weekend and the following. Turning 40. Within reason of course.

I'm nearing the point of just living in a tent in the middle of fucking nowhere. WTF? I was purchasing goods, causing no issues. Get fucked. And again I wasn't drinking. So pissed right now. I was out late last night, and maybe smelled of alcohol I suppose? "Are you drinking sir?" Eat lead paint with push pins and nails mixed if you flying fuck. I'm buying my drinks for later..... Walmart/sams is done for me forever. Not another penny.
I am going to go after the family (not physically) and brand itself. They should be done. Totally unacceptable. I have a voice/larynx issue similar to Kennedy. So she thought I was hammered for some reason because I was buying beer and have a raspy voice. Can't destroy the brand but if I can make 0.001% impact that's a win as an individual. They have fights and stabbings in that store for fucks sake. Someone buying a case of beer not causing a problem, should be just that, not a problem.
Most restraint I've had in a while. Most I've wanted to punch a woman maybe ever.
