so like any panic stricken person who thinks they won't have their afternoon tea for the canada day festivities.... we venture to the LCBO tonight.

highlight of the adventure:
mom, dad and little boy, two mini shopping carts deep in bottles, mom rushes back to get cart number three.

I was just a co-conspirator in a $700 on the nose liqour run at yonge and dundas...

the comments direct towards the amount of booze on the way to the cab were hilarious

"is that for a wedding?"

"someone has a drinking problem"

"you guys getting ready for another holocaust"

Retail business do not require a large number of people to be full time workers because of the way sales are distributed across a small set of busy-hours.

Heavy hours at the LCBO are 5-9 weedays and 11-6 on weeekends.

If it wasn't for the age requirements they could staff the place with after-school teenagers at $10/hour.


Get out of here with common sense business mumbo jumbo! The last thing this union cares about (or any union for that matter) is how to effectively run a business.

never mind Canada Day, it's also Pride week. The gays will revolt! lol

Wine rack and independents (e.g. Magnotta) are going to make a KILLING if this lasts terribly long.

will this affect bars/clubs? I know some smaller places fill orders at LCBO stores, but what about larger places??


Posted by infinity HiGH on Jun-23-2009 03:26:

You know what would be awesome? If this strike led to a complete de-regulation of alcohol sale in the province.. Maybe if it lasts long enough the people of Ontario will revolt.

wut!!?

i commented on it like a week ago.


Posted by The Highroller on Jun-23-2009 04:34:

I was talking to a guy at the LCBO today, and he said that he doesn't think it will happen, or even if it does, that it wouldn't last that long. He said that the LCBO will lose $5,000,000 per day in lost sales. They're not going to allow themselves to lose that much money.

He did say that 4 of the large locations (Summerhill, Queens Quay, and 2 others) will be open during the strike, if it does indeed happen.


Posted by VERTiG0 on Jun-23-2009 07:09:

A friend of mine works at the location 2km from my house, it'll stay open if they go on strike, thus I don't care.

Seriously. BUT are they not related in terms of ownership??

Btw this is RIDICULOUS that they could even do that...boourns. Looks like I'm bringing back more Zyvania than I thought.

The beer store is owned jointly by Molson-Coors & Labbat-Interbrew, and is run with oversight from the provincial government.

At least it was when I worked there 10 years ago.

They get the booze from the LCBO... so I'm thinking they'll run dry before long.


Posted by Sentinal on Jun-23-2009 15:33:

Privization is the winning solution here.

But I will publicly announce here and now, I'm going to be in the US for 4 days weekly starting in 2010, so anybody needing alcohol/tobacco remember to start asking since I don't really indulge in either, I can bring them over as "gifts"....
