Worked in a Pa. liquor store my last year of college. We had a lot of rules about recommendations. Wine selection was poor then and hasn’t gotten noticeably better. They have more on-line than in the stores though.
Can’t buy beer in the state stores either so that’s two stops for a party. Hours and locations are limited as well.
Neighboring states reap the benefits in sales. NJ, Maryland benefit the most.
This is a good thing for the state and long overdue.
personally, I feel the stuff causes more fatalities, and messes up more lives than it’s worth. And THEY’re worried about gun control..... this stuff is not only in the mix of many fatalities on the road, but ruins homes/lives. But take our guns...
When I lived in Cincinnati, I encountered my first state liquor store. Surly help, awkward shopping, unpleasant retail experience.
Subsequently, I discovered that Kentucky retailers could actually deliver in Cincinnati. Somehow, commerce between Boone, Kenton and Campbell Counties, KY and Hamilton County, OH had been exempted from consideration as "interstate commerce" and the Kentucky retailers exported their product across the state line with impunity.
