Grocery shoppers in Hayward got an unexpected surprise when a 125-pound black bear wandered inside and headed straight for the beer cooler.
The bear made his stop Friday night at Marketplace Foods in Hayward, walking through the automatic doors and heading straight into the liquor department.
The bear calmly climbed up 12 feet onto a shelf in the beer cooler where it sat for about an hour while employees helped evacuate customers and summoned wildlife officials.
Of COURSE he was in the beer cooler!
Was it the Hamms bear?
So, did the bear get wasted while waiting for the DNR to show up?
Actually it was me - my back shaver broke.
Wanted to pick up a few cases before the TAXES went up, eh?
