When there is only one week left until the start of Ramadan, it is difficult to find a place that does not have the alcohol section caged up. I didn't have much trouble as there is a small supermarket on my block that is known for continuing to sell to foreigners. However, it was an interesting experience.
Here's how you buy alcohol in Casablanca one week before Ramadan starts:
1. Enter store recommended by coworker.
2. Go to alcohol section and look at the selection.
3. Pick up a bottle/can of something (at this exact moment an employee will come right to you with a black bag to place your selections in)
4. Hurry up and finish selecting - the employee is going to start to get nervous if you don't.
5. Follow employee with black bag to cashier. He will tell the cashier how much you bought and place the black bag in a blue bag.
6. Walk out of grocery store carrying a blue bag just like everyone else. Noone on the outside will know about your black bag items.
7. Hurry home to enjoy your beverages!
