Day 68 - A Beerman's Last Stand

Well I wasn't able to work Friday or Saturday night's games due to being in a wedding...So I worked on Sunday. The last day of the regular season.

The chill in the air reminded me of my first week of being a beerman at Busch Stadium. I'm just it wasn't snowing like it did on opening day. It feels like yesterday that I was only able to carry half of a case of beer at a time and only sell a case and a half per game. Well...I can carry well over a case of beer at a time, it's just too bad I couldn't sell more than that yesterday.

I don't know what the deal was...

You'd think that with it being the last game of the regular season that there would be a sold-out crowd right?...ha! so they said it was a standing-room-only crowd...I don't think they were looking at any of my sections...several rows of seats were empty.

I understand it's a Sunday game...but it's also the last game of the season where most people can afford tickets...playoff tickets are rather steep in price...

So even with the 'sold-out' crowd you'd think that this game would have the perfect conditions for a big day of sales for a beerman....HA!

People were wrapped up in coats and blankets on this 60 degree sunny day. I was only able to sell a 1 1/2 cases. No one wanted to drink beer...or if so, they were buying it from the Red Bird Club and not from the vendors in the stands.

It was rough for all of beermen in my commissary...guess we'll have to wait till this Saturday for the playoffs to come to Busch Stadium to make some money.

As for stories from Sunday's game...I didn't have anything crazy happen to me. It was so hard to believe...I went through the game without anything happening worth mentioning on here....I'm sure the playoffs will bring in some crazy people and crazy stories!

It was bittersweet leaving the stadium...knowing that I could only have one more game left to work...honestly, I'm hoping we sweep the Dodgers in 3 games so I don't have to work on Sunday...Rams have a home game at noon and the Card's game could be at 5:07 or 8:37....either way, it'll be crazy downtown on Sunday and potentially a really late night!
