ABC Package is a large and well-stocked liquor store in Athens, Georgia. From its convenient location on Atlanta Highway, it has served the alcohol needs of the University of Georgia student body for 25 years.
ABC Package opened in the early 1990s, coinciding with the years my sons Britt and Dustin were students at UGA.
Both boys, it turned out, conducted business with surprising regularity at ABC Package. I learned this when I would balance their bank accounts (this being the old days, before debit cards and such, when writing checks was still a thing), and I would see checks payable to ABC Package.
Oddly enough, they both had the same explanation for this — five years apart, mind you — which they expressed to me with sober, stone-faced sincerity.
The conversations went something like this…

Rocky: Britt, I balanced your checkbook yesterday and made a deposit. I see you wrote four checks to ABC Package. Seriously?
Britt: Oh, that. Well, the thing is, ABC Package is the only place in Athens that will take a check for cash. I go there to get spending money.
Rocky: You don’t go there for beer or liquor or anything.
Britt: Nope.
Rocky: I see.

Rocky: Hey, Dustin, tell me about these checks to ABC Package. Did you think I wouldn’t notice?
Dustin: Dad, it isn’t what you think. ABC Package is the only place in town that will take a check for cash. That’s why I write checks there.
Rocky: So… you write checks to a liquor store, but not for alcohol.
Dustin: Correct.
Rocky: I see.

All of which reminds me of the classic question, “You expect me to believe that? What do you take me for?”
The correct response being, “Everything I can get.”

Funny story and a familiar one! When I was at UGA back in the late 70’s, I used to cash checks at the liquor store across from Sussex Apartments (where my roomate worked). My Mom who worked at the bank used to beg me, “is there anywhere else you can cash checks? I don’t like the ladies back in processing seeing all these checks to Red & Black Package Store.”
Your checks were for cash, I assume, not alcohol.
