<![CDATA[It's funny.]]>It's funny. Lots of stories in the news about falling return rates for alcohol bottles. Now they are running ads.

What do they expect when the only one taking returns is the beer store and 1/3 of them closed.

They let the grocery and convince stores sell beer and wine without requiring them to take returns. They undercut the beer store demand so they close.

FAFO, perhaps not.

Reversing this adage around for this situation.

"Do not assume stupidity when it can be adequately explained by malice"

I put any that I might have aside for the guy who comes around on his bicycle. He needs the return more than I do.
