Wine in Supermarkets?

[Cgoodsp466]

Closet socialist speak. Who made you deputy dog? Why do you feel your intellect is so superior that you know what is "best for the people"? Please post your contact info so us peoples can get your opinion 24 hours a day when we are too stupid to make decisions for ourselves...you friggin' asshat. Please, setup an 800 number hotline for us pitiful fools.

If the state is going to allow supermarkets to sell wine they should refund all of the licensing fees paid by the liquor stores over the past 25 years, The state has no business legislating who should sell what within a commercial business, so it makes sense that any business should be able to sell wine, liquor, or any other type of alcohol. The existing liquor stores must also be given the ability to open in-house pharmacies and sell Italian dressing, uncured bacon, and bulk condoms.

This is a real Hanoi Jane "Whats good for the people"

I am extremely small business, anybody who has read my rants can see that.

My question was how do you stop this, 76% of people polled locally are in favor of it, now you have tax revenue the state desperately needs, a governor that will do anything to not cut back our spending,,,

a perfect storm for liquor stores following mom and pop hardware.

The governator furloughs 200 thousand state workers for 2 days a month saving 1.3 billion.

Patterson would rather pick on indians and liquor stores.....says a whole lot if you are sitting where I am.

But is what the People want,so says Hanoi Jane.

Patterson isn't just picking on Indians and liquor store owners. He's sucking up every penny he can. The News reported this morning that he just sucked $750,000,000 from the Power Authority. That's money that we as customers will never see.

I'm curious, with the furloughs, what work isn't getting done and what services aren't being provided because of the furloughs?????

NY State could Furloughs our free cheesers for a month and nobody could tell the difference.

No its what the POS unions politicians and special interests want, the people should send them out on a raft over niagara falls.

I really wish we would wake the hell up... watcha drinkin? I am waiting until noon then its Jack and coke

Save: I am not sure of the nature of your business but here are some ideas that helped my business:

….relationship building - the closer your relationship the greater chance of maintaining your customers. My computer system had a comment section behind the customer’s file. If we talked about something personal, I noted so I could ask or follow up on the discussion during the customer’s next visit.

Customer Appreciation Week/Day – hardly any business does this anymore but it really works and is not expensive.

Opinion/Idea/Feedback Box – people like to give their opinions. Always followed up with a thank you note and some sort of discount towards their next purchase.

Feature and Benefit Slinger - what puts you above the competition? - Make numerous copies and put one in your customers’ bag Example: You are an expert in your line of business not just a cashier or stock boy - You know the product better than your competitor

Price and equivalency - We have Product A which is the same as or less expensive than Tops and provides the same features as the Tops’ equivalency. Or Consultative Selling - Product B offers a 1 year guarantee, rust proof. The life expectancy on Product A is 6 months. It is more cost effective to purchase Product B.

Almost Always, the customer was right. It was wise to please the disgruntled customer because a displeased customer told 10 others about their bad experience.

I'm generally that way towards condescending pricks.

Did you mother ever wash your mouth out with soap?

Cgoodsp: I learned this the hard way. I am a far cry from a condascending person (totally the opposite) and my comment was clearly misinterpretted or should I say misrepresented.

[Jim Ostrowski]

Paterson is right for the wrong reason. He wants to raise money.

What we need to do it get rid of all the silly laws, licenses and fees on booze.

Let anyone sell it without a license.

Let the liquor stores sell whatever the hell they want.

We have a myriad of laws and lawyers willing to sue drunk drivers, etc.

There are how many law enforcement agencies to enforce alcohol laws?

As always the free market is the answer.
