Yeah it makes me pretty sad. I also worked at a liquor store and people blew money there too like no tomorrow. Like we had a dude who would hit whippits and had jaundice but felt the need to buy cheese serving boards (like the fake granite ones without actual cheese) and booze instead of food. He pulled out a wad of ones and had like 10 whippits fall out one time. Said it was his last few bucks so I refused to sell him anything and told him I would check him out if he got food.
I sometimes (like once or twice a month) go to the local Hard Rock (only casino around here that's not some shitty, little room) and I'll always see the same people at the same slot machines mindlessly pressing the button. It's depressing seeing them blow $1000+ then go and get another withdrawal from the ATM

Because he was high as fuck and thought it would be better to spend his money on that and booze instead of food.
