Default Booze in BC Grocery Stores next winter
Quote:
British Columbians will be able to buy booze in grocery stores next winter.

Attorney General Suzanne Anton says the change will ensure convenience and choice for consumers while promoting BC products.

But she says liquor won't be available in every grocery store because only a limited number of licences will be permitted.

Convenience stores will not be allowed to sell alcohol.

it's going to feel weird to walk into a grocery store and see booze

What's with the sudden un-clenching of a$$ cheeks with respect to booze lately? Increased bar hours? Alcohol in grocery stores? What's next, drive through liquor stores?

Madness!

As said in the other thread. It is going to be status quo. Expect store within a store that offers no real change in convenience to most malls or shopping centers.

It's all smoke and mirrors. Saying one thing and doing another. "You can sell alcohol... but you need a license... and we're not giving you anymore of those... so find someone to sell. Oh no one wants to sell? Ask them to move into your store! Oh... everyone is making ridiculous requests like no rent? Too bad!"

Now if only the government didn't set the prices.

BC is in the stone ages. Best province to live in bar none but the socialist bullshizz can get more than a bit tiresome.
