Hah! Sounds like me a few years ago grabbing 4 pks of Brooklyn Monster for 3.65 each! Then I grabbed four more packs and bolted out of there like a thief.atomeyes wrote:i went to the 'BO on Laird.
bought some stuff, including a Sammiclaus.
guy couldn't scan it.
manually searched for the product and selected something that didn't look right to me. i told him and he ignored me.
$2.50 a bottle, he said.
"um..on second thought, i'm going to grab 2 more. thanks."

It doesn't have to go through the lab again does it? It's been in the LCBO and approved, I would assume that any subsequent shipments wouldn't need lab testing again. But I am assuming something about the LCBO.Lukie wrote:Where the F is Peche? The BO has really perfected the art of anticlimactic availability. To hell with them and their redundant lab!

the beer you stand in is not the beer you step in.
Every shipment undergoes lab testing. They usually pull a few bottles at random. If there's anything wrong with those samples they'll deny/destroy the whole shipment.cfrancis wrote:It doesn't have to go through the lab again does it?

Eh. You'd be surprised - shipments do show up occasionally with bottles contaminated with cleaning fluids or broken glass particles. It does happen. But, overall, I agree. It's a bit excessive.cfrancis wrote:Oh fuck that noise.biegaman wrote:Every shipment undergoes lab testing. They usually pull a few bottles at random.

Hey LCBO, how about a reasonable compromise? If you receive goods from a reputable brewery, by all means pluck a few random bottles and test them to your heart's content, BUT, do not hold up the entire shipment in the mean time, especially if it's from a brewery you have already tested umpteen times in the past. My gosh, daily food staples on our tables aren't scrutinized as closely.
