The Bar Towel

I know someone who works at Costco and they said that they will start selling beer. Although I'm sure it'll be no different than normal grocery stores sell. I wish we could get the wine/beer selection that American Costco gets. I do believe that Costco now has the greatest wine p urchasing power in...

I suspect that the LCBO will eventually designate an open case from an online order as an open product... That would be so absurd, since they would really need to alter their return policy, not to mention let their social responsibility directive fly out the window. The LCBO suffers not one bit by ...

Already rumblings of this.

Where did you hear about these rumblings?

Only allowing unopened returns makes sense and I hope they enforce that to the max. I don't see any reason why we should expect the lcbo to protect us against buying stuff we don't like. In any other business that return policy would be absurd, and rightly so. I hope you're not applying that statem...

They really ought to exclude partial returns of online orders. Although it's not as open to abuse as some other stuff. What's to stop someone from buying an expensive bottle of whiskey, trying a glass, then returning the bottle? Their official return policy is that returns are only acceptable for u...

Returning the merch is so easy, you can do it the same day as you pick up the shipment. The second time I tried to return the shipment, this time 10 out of 12 bottles, I got some evil eye action and a pointed question from the store manager and his other annoyed comrade - I suspect mostly because r...

Possibly a stupid question - why are people returning beer they could probably sell/trade here? Not worth the effort? Yeah, selling here is not really worth the effort at all. For starters, not too many people would be keen to travel across the GTA for a $15/bottle beer and If I did sell it would n...

Yesterday I left 10 bottles of Even More Jesus off at Promenade LCBO (kind of ironic, considering the area). A nice, big beer with a perfect mouthfeel. A bit too pruney, at the expense of all the other notes, but still very nice to share.

Picked up.

The system works!

No thanks, because I'm born again. I just want me some more Jesus.

There are groups that can help you with that mental condition.

The online store seems to be doing okay with that so far.

I was talking to a bar owner friend and he's under the impression licensees cannot purchase stuff online to sell in their establishment. Anyone have any more I info on that? How is it enforced and what's the penalty? If they said repeated infractions could mean a loss of your liquor license, bar ow...

Picked up a few returns of LTM Baltic Porter from Bathurst and Centre. A few more left in the new arrivals section when I left. Lol, those were my returns - enjoy! Could be an idea to post here if anyone is returning something like this. I'm sure other BTers would appreciate the "heads up"...

Picked up my LTM Porters on Friday and returned half the box right away with zero issues, although they have to type in a lot of info to their terminal so it takes a good 5 minutes.

Trying returning a few bottles and let us know how it goes :) Got my LTM Porter delivered to the store. Took exactly one week. Not bad after all. If anyone is serious about splitting orders with me, please PM me. Picking it tomorrow. Any reason how they would refuse a return given their return poli...
