[quote=BDBohnzie;709937]I've heard horror stories from friends who work at restaurants and bars in the county. I think one summer, you were hard pressed for a week or 2 to get Captain Morgan products at any place that didn't keep a good stock.[/quote]

Yeah it's a constant uphill battle. 3 of our 4 restaurants are in MoCo. Keeping them fully stocked at all times is next to impossible. The county is ALWAYS out of something important. I get tempted to go purchase products in the district, but that carries a hefty fine.

We had an ABC guy walk into our bar in NOVA and someone was marrying bottles, huge fine!

[quote=Angry;709569]Wait, there are 2 different types of Liquor stores in MD. You have the Beer and wine stores that are only allowed to sell beer and wine and then you have the Liquor stores that can sell everything.

As crazy and as rare as it sounds I do know of at least one grocery store in MD that sells beer and wine; The Safeway off of Briggs Cheyney Road off of Route 29. It's quite possible that the liquor laws vary by county.[/quote]

MD is very county-centric with the liquor laws

MoCo being a govt run county, calvert county some of the smaller independent grocery stores carry the full array, in charles it seems you have to go to a liquor store (pretty much all of them are beer/wine/liquor), and the hours vary everywhere

I can't keep up

[quote=GMScud;709860]And it's such a gigantic pain in the ass. They have a monopoly on booze distribution, so they could give a shit about customer service. It's a such a huge hassle for me. They are constantly out of our staple products, offer no explanation, and don't really care to look into when they'll be back in stock. Plus they always act like they're doing us a favor. I loathe MoCo DLC.

But Maryland is awesome! I wouldn't trade being from the DC Area for anything.[/quote]

Yeah that's how it was when I did mgmt with the VA ABC.. though we were pretty accommodating (well depending on the store manager).. was just a pain when olive garden/red lobster, etc wanted to place and pick up an order from 7-8pm on a freaking friday night when we're packed

we pretty much let people know what alternatives we had and if we knew what was coming in on shipment when it would be back.. they drive a lot of sales so we were very appreciative and let them know about new product and recipes

[quote=mredskins;709870]ABC in Va is way worst. I used to order for a bar through them, if it was anything outside of the norm good luck.[/quote]

lol that sucks.. which location?

we special ordered stuff just for restaurants all of the time.. hell we special ordered stuff for ourselves, other customers, etc

I always got to get the last look at the order because it was in a college town and I knew about the trends more so than the older guys

Hefty fine, temp loss of license (this KILLS repeat business as customers will see you as shady), often a loss of employment

the monopoly sucks though.. do you guys get it sans sales tax?

Re: Drunk Thread
 

OK, so I had a terrible day at work and my wife made me the biggest panty dropper I've ever had in my life. I think it has wine, vodka and some other crazy kind of liquor. I think she wants the hot love. She wants to eat at Mexican tonight so we have a tradition of doin' it, then going to have some burritos and call it Sexican.

Well at least you're getting that out of the way first. Having mexican first could lead to some issues later on.

Re: Drunk Thread
 

I woke up with the worst headache today. It's a rare occasion that the wife tries to seduce me rather than the other way around, but sometimes drunk sex isn't the best because you kind of don't remember it.

And no mountains... just fields. I drove my tractor to the Mexican place and then we just rode cows back because I needed a DD. :D
