A spirited start to liquor sales
Permalink  
 

I have yet to venture out to the many stores now

selling hard booze. Seems the local newspaper is

going to see a rise in advertising as nearly every

store selling booze is going to advertise it. Notice

"Rite-Aid" a drug store chain is selling spirits.

This whole new begining is going on with Venus in

retrograde. I voted "no" on this proposition last

year as "I saw the future". Well now a good month

or more of chaos is instore for those that buy booze.

Probly the number one "shocker" is how much tax

you pay for a bottle of booze. An example in the

Herald had a bottle of booze with a $30 price tag

in the store and after you leave the checkstand,

you can add $12.50 in taxes to that bottle of booze

to make it a $42.50 bottle of booze. Notice not one

advertiser showed a picture of a bottle of "Cruzan"

rum on sale. I'm going to have to "brown-nose" that

lady that runs the alcohol section of my mega-market

to carry what I like to drink.

OK..the first visit/encounter with the "NEW" way booze is being distributed
in the state Washington. Pretty loyal to my mega-mart as they take my checks
with zero hassle plus they are the only store in the area selling "Draper Valley"
chicken and that means something to me. So my first visit to the "Booze
Isle" found considerable congestion. No place to browse with a shopping cart
in tow. Shopped the store for what I came for and hit the "booze isle" with a
new plan later. Stashed my cart out of the way and joined about 5-6 others
trying to figure out everything. Noticed nothing I regularly drink is on the shelf.
So I just go with a Bacardi Superior Rum 1.75 litres and a Bacardi 151 5th.
I would never buy this combo at the state run store. The "Castillo" brand rum
is made by Bacardi and it's several dollars less per bottle and I find it very smooth
tasting. Need also "Cruzan 151" rum to be available tuu. OK...moving on to
"checkpoint charlie"...I'm used to paying $45.90 for my favorite combo of
rums walking out the state run strores. FF to the end of an era. OK...
my choices available totaled $46.98 and a $9.89 tax on my purchase.
So basically the price of booze has gone up 10 bucks overnight.
Venus is retrograde during all this early transition period. Lot's of
complaining going on. Maybe in a couple months things might swing more
in the favor of the shopper. My regular bottle shoppe sits idle but after looking
at all the "notices" taped to the glass, a new enitity has plans to become
the "bottle shoppe " of this area. Can't wait.

Sounds like a great time to quit.

Shoulda stocked up and avoided the confusion, things will slow down, surely, after the novelty wears off. Or, you could take Snippy's advice.

I'm pretty sure the masterplan "wasn't to make booze unnafforable".
This whole transition is going to take some time for the maffia to get
involved and then you'll see booze at reasonable prices.
