I'll try it. It's got to be better than the Maple Bacon which was horrid.

No, it doesn't. Just when you think the lowest level of suck has been attained, Rogue goes lower. Occasionally Trafalgar gives them a run for their money.

We're both tall people. Got to set the bar low enough to step over rather than bang our heads into.

I can't imagine anything, other than a typical Trafalgar disaster, being worse than that road tar that was the Maple Bacon. It just can't be possible for the RVDPRC to be worse.

Interesting, which LCBO location was it in?
Maybe it had to be entered into the LCBO system to be able to transfer between the Leaside and Brewhouse locations?
