Bob is pretty awesome. I bought a set of Winter tires from him last year and he's a great person to chat with in general.
He loves wine and Scotch. It was he that told me that he and his buddies love playing poker, and then buying a range of nice bottles of scotch for the prizes.
He mentioned certain bottles of Scotch he wished were available, so I looked it up on liquor connect and he was blown away you could try and find alcohol that way. I did warn him this only gives insight on where the product might be and not whether it's in stock, but it's far better than shooting blind by popping into completely random liquor stores that may not have bothered to stocked it at all.
I then suggested the Vivino app due to his love of wines and he immediately installed it and looked like a kid who had just picked up a game boy for the first time. He's apparently the type of guy who buys wines by the case loads if he runs into something he likes.
One thing that's amazing about him that I wish I could learn is that he's a pro at putting IRL conversations on hold. Literally you're chatting up a storm and within 2 seconds he can put the whole thing on hold in a really respectful manner to take a phone call, address a customer that walks in etc. It's a hugely underrated skill and it's actually pretty impressive IMO.
