The liquor store union in Pennsylvania is on the ropes. Right now if one wants to buy beer or liquor in the Keystone State one must buy it from the state owned liquor stores. Run by state employees. But soon Pennsylvania will likely join the civilized world in allowing its residents to buy beer the way God intended. From a gas station.
This is curtains for the liquor store employee union and it is not giving up without a fight. The spin guys for the union put together this ad to warn us that if booze was taken out of the hands of the state of Pennsylvania carnage of the worst kind would result.
You see the liquor store employee union wants to ban beer in grocery stores to save your children. Always for the children.

Thanks for the url. I wasn’t aware there were more locations for Keller’s. .....The only one I’ve ever been to was the original on NW Hwy., which was a drive-in with carhops.
When wife #2 and I got married one Saturday at a JP’s office in downtown Dallas, we went to Keller’s and had burgers and beer. Followed that with a matinee showing of the just released “Tora! Tora! Tora!”. After the movie we hit a fancy Chinese restaurant for about a 2-3 hour meal, before driving about 40 miles to where we lived.
Trivia, I know, but that was the last time I was at Keller’s and explains why I remember it fondly.
How?
By getting 'mom' drunk and knocked up and not wanting the child; so she CHOOSES to kill it??
And then there is UTAH...
He was crushed. We must have stricter gun control and beer laws. For the children.
Try Aldi’s Altamonte Malbec.
Wonderful Utah 3.2 beer. Good thing Fredonia is only half hour away for the drinking crowd. As you know though, Mormons don’t drink....until they are out of town.
We have A fully stocked state liquor store in Kanab. At least they have wine for the missus. Doesn’t open until noon, is closed on Sundays and all holidays.
I am slowing down somewhat now in my old age, although last night we fed fifty or so Chateaubriand with a fine Madeira sauce. Was entertaining Museum of Natural History elites from SLC. Two case of wine, lots of beer followed by Ho-Made apple pie. Google it.
One time going to our cottage in Maine, we stop at a NH liquor store on I95 (yes the store had its own exit). My dad saw a few CT state police there, arresting CT people, so my dad asked the manager if he could have a few empty boxes. My dad carried 10 empty boxes and put them in our van. The CT state police followed us to our cottage. Waste of taxpayers money.
You buy beer either by the case at a “distributor”, or by the 6 pack at a restaurant/bar or 6 pack shop.
Wegmans and Sheetz are pushing the envelope with selling beer in their stores because they argue that they offer sit down food, thus they’re a restaurant.
Correct but FWIW, it seems to me that so called 6 pack or “bottle” shops are few and far between at least here in south central PA. If there are any in York and Lancaster counties they must be a closely guarded secret, not allowed to advertize or even put up a sign saying they sell beer. Some of the beer distributors, who can only sell by the case, do advertize to a limited extent but nothing like what liquor stores in Maryland do.
But there is a Giant grocery store near me that was recently remodeled to add a “café” so they could sell 6 packs of beer and hard cider, etc., I saw a sign that even said you can “mix and match” your 6 packs, but then there is a separate entrance and check out and you have to purchase that separately from your groceries and can’t even take the beer you purchased into the rest of the grocery store (you know it might jump out and molest some kid in the cereal aisle – probably the very type of thing that have killed all those poor little children in NC / s). I think there might be a few, very few others along with Weis that also have this. And most Wegman’s I’ve been to actually are almost like restaurants, many of them bigger than most restaurants. There is a pizza shop, ironically located right next door to a LCB Wine and Sprit shop that sells beer by the bottle or the 6 pack but when I was in there one day to pick up a pizza, I checked out the selection which was pretty pitiful and the prices which were outrageous.
I don’t see any problem with Sheetz and Wegmans and other grocery stores selling beer. I’d like to see the LCB stores completely privatized along with the number of licenses increased and allow them to also sell beer.
I’ve heard this ad running on WHP and the first time I heard it, I wanted to scream and go out and get good and drunk and I don’t even drink. ; )
Disclaimer: I don’t drink beer. Can’t stand the smell or taste of the stuff. However, I could care less if that is your drink of choice. You’re an adult. Chug-a-lug!
Now, having said that, I must say, that commercial is, by far, the STUPIDEST ad I’ve seen in a long time. It insults the intelligence of anyone who watches it (well, except maybe the union thugs who created it) and is so condescending, it makes you want to punch the person who created it! Here, in Ohio, beer is sold in convenient stores, grocery stores, those drive-thru marts and other places. I’ve seen many people with their children in these places and guess what? The beer didn’t jump off the shelf and try to kill them!
*smacks forehead* Whoa! Amazing, isn’t it?!
Wow. It took a special kind of STUPID to create that ad. They should be embarrassed. But, given that they are DemocRATS, they probably won’t.
I’ve heard this ad running on WHP and the first time I heard it, I wanted to scream and go out and get good and drunk and I don’t even drink...
...I first heard this ad on WHP also, and had a similar reaction to yours...
...do you live in Lancaster County, perchance...?

I know of the pie ;^)
Didja serve any Muffins?
Good thing they weren't...

Wifey and I had some stadium brats on the grill; followed by a glass or two of Coca-Cola® products; while observing the neighbor putting down pre-emergence herbicide prior to planting his soybeans.
(This year, I managed to finally rid the fencerow of decades of entangling brush and debris without setting the crop residue on fire and requiring (sheepishly) the services of our local volunteer firemen to put down an acre or so of flame that was rapidly approaching another field. Now instead of just hearing the tractor; we can see it as well.)
