Yes I would be unable to work there. But more because of how alcohol nearly destroyed my husbands family. The sole purpose of that is to sell alcohol. At a grocery store that also sold alcohol? Probably not an issue with me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you as a Christian have an issue working at a Liquor store. Selling Alcohol and smokes to people? Thoughts? I was desperate for a job, so I worked at a convenience store (i.e. Circle K, 7-11, etc.) that also sold beer but no liquor. Didn't have an issue with it for the most part - except for the guys coming in at 6am and buying beer. These were the obviously homeless guys that slept in the field last night types. That made me feel like a drug dealer selling to junkies (I'm also a druggie that Jesus cleaned up) so I quit. The vast majority of folks were construction workers grabbing a few beers for the crew after work and not an issue for me. Would I do the same thing now? No. There's other was for me to generate income that don't require selling alcohol. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you work at a grocery store in the state I live in they sell alcohol. And many other stores as well such as Walgreen's. You also would not want to work at a Starbucks because caffeine is a drug.

If that is the only job then take it, if there is a choice go for the other option. It's as Walla said, guys buying beer etc after work is one thing but those living in a semi perminent state of drunkeness another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be prevent from attending church? Would it cause someone you know, a child, a teen, an alcoholic or a new believer, to stumble by the appearance that you might condone using these things? If the answer is yes, don't do it. If no, then it might be a marvelous opportunity to pray with people or for people who come there, and to testify about how the Lord Jesus Christ can set us free from sin and addiction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
