LCBO theft

[mariomike]

I wouldnt be shocked if LCBOs get retrofitted like MLCCs did in Manitoba where you have to show ID before getting in to the store - theft dropped 97%

The way I remember it in Ontario. With convenient ashtrays.

They should 100%.
I’m sick and tired of these and other thefts going unchecked and unpunished.

Just bring back Prohibition. No one under 30 would notice.

And a large percentage of the guys behind the counter were vets.

I don't know if it is on Doug Ford's to-do list, but it would certainly help. A province-wide realignment would work better than their ham-fisted earlier attempt at a pilot project involving three locations with high indigenous populations.

I was in a MLCC store a few days back, and had forgotten about the ID thing. It was a few seconds of digging out and ID, then a pleasant shopping experience.

I think Ontario going that route would be a reasonable choice.

Because it went so well the first time...

I look forward to creating the next Al Capone.

"I bet you 2, 3 years, we get prohibition back. This time we make it stick. ...The trouble was — see, before — too many guys wanted to be top dog. One mob gets to massacring another... Next time the mobs'll get together."

Said one gangster to Johnny Rocco.

Ugh. How Soviet.

The area just north of ours had Prohibition into the 21st Century.

High Park , including our local restaurant, still has it.

Ginger Ale with your dinner.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

Why not just make a rule where marginalized people can take alcohol for free if they have to due to socio-economic vulnerability?

I now identify as marginalised.

 

[Gordon Dundas/]

Ugh. How Soviet.

I'm trying to remember but at one time in Ontario didn't you have to have some sort of note from a Dr., Stating that you weren't an alcoholic?

Looks like a Consumers Distributing store for booze…

I remember when I was a kid and my dad took me into the LCBO just like in the posted article. You went to these stations where you looked thru a list and then wrote the bin code on a slip. He took the slip to the cashier whom gave my dad a thorough looking over before he decided you were acceptable then demanded the appropriate amount of money. Dad handed over some bills and the change was delivered from the register down a metal slide into a phenolic tray. The cashier signed the slip and dad walked along the long counter to the first clerk whom then retrieved the bottle of booze in a brown paper bag. It all seemed very impersonal and I had the feeling you didn’t speak unless spoken to.
