Reply to comment by TrailerBuilder in TIL that Ulysses Grant was made commander of all Union armies at 41 and President at 46 by IllustriousAct28

Believe it or not I see parallels between what you just said and Grant.

He loved to drink but kept it somewhat undercover. He was a store keeper. Not saying you're a storekeeper but the customer service angle.

Grant didn't own the shop he worked in. He was a junior clerk at a leather goods store and his younger brother(s?) had more senior positions there.
