Parents Weekend

Following EIU's parents weekend it is amazing to see some of the trends that happen during this weekend. First is the parents coming down to relive their college days of glory and realizing that they can't drink like their son or daughter can and end up making a fool out of themselves.  The second thing that I noticed while working at the liquor store is all the freshman come in with their parents because they aren't allowed to buy it which totally ruins their chances in the future of ever buying from us.  Lastly I've noticed that when mom and dad are in town all the nice liquor seems to fly off the shelve and at the bar everyone is making it rain because they have mom and dads money to spend.  Next weekend when I work I can almost guarantee you that it will be back to Burnetts vodka and Keystone 30 cases.  These are just a few of observations that I have made during this past family weekend.
