A man recently posted a petty revenge story on Reddit about the time a wine store wouldn’t sell him alcohol. He got back at them by placing a $10,000 order he never went to pick up.
Here’s what happened.
The buyer was looking for a specific type of wine he used for cooking. The only problem was that the closest store that had it in stock was 60 miles away. Nonetheless, the buyer was determined to make the trip because it was the holidays, and he felt it was worth it.
The man jumps in his car and makes the trip to Total Wine, goes in, and also purchases a few additional items.
As he gets to the checkout counter, the cashier requests his ID. Not a problem. The buyer hands his ID to the store clerk, who checks it over.
The problem starts when the clerk also requests to see the ID of the “other” person the buyer was with.
The man, confused, responds with, “I’m alone?” The clerk decides she better check with the manager.
Turns out, the store clerk thought she saw another person walk in with the man at the same time and assumed they were together. So, once the manager comes to the front counter, he informs the buyer that he needs to see the other person’s ID that he was with.
“I told him I wasn’t with anyone,” the man said.
The manager then asks to see the man’s ID. He looks at it and says, “well, unfortunately, you look young.” and informs the man that he can come back tomorrow, ALONE.
The man is now furious. He traveled 60 miles for this? How could he be treated this way?
The buyer felt disrespected at being told he looked so young, even with proof of his ID in his hand. Furthermore, the man had been shopping at Total Wine for the past FOUR years.
But the man had no choice but to leave the store and return home without the wine.
The following day, the man receives an email asking him to review his experience. Annoyed by the situation, the man writes about his encounter and experience at the store.
Just a day later, the buyer receives a call from the store manager, who explains that she reviewed the cameras and saw that the buyer had walked in with someone else.
The buyer just couldn’t understand it. If they really saw another person, why they didn’t say something when that person left the store? Surely it was just another customer.
Now, the buyer was even angrier than before and decided to review the store policy. He discovers that any online order not picked up within a week will result in a full refund to the original payment method.

And that’s when he got his idea. The man decides to get back at the shop by placing a $10,000 order with no intention of picking it up.
“I made sure to order the cheapest, heaviest bottles I could think of so it could take up the most amount of space in their curbside and made sure only to order like 1 or 3 of each,” he said.
Approximately 5 hours later, the man received confirmation to pick up his order, followed by several more emails days after. Finally, on day ten, he received a phone call from the manager at Total Wine asking about his order.
His response? “Yeah, I went to pick it up, and I was told I looked too young, so I just went to the other Total Wine and picked up the same stuff there.”
The store then had to restock all the wine again, and the man received his refund.
Was the man wrong for seeking revenge on the store? Was there anything that you would have done differently?
