It was in fact cheaper and they had a far better selection. Also, as mention, the stores we nicer ( even CLEAN) and I didn't feel like ˆ needed to be armed to get in and out with my life.<BR/><BR/> Dan, what you put on the 'net never goes away.....should we send your underage drinking comment over to College Park PD? ( just kidding)<BR/><BR/>On a another, I may be heading out of state soon but if I wasn't, anyone that ran for office promising to disband the MoCo liquor control board has my vote!S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07972227366905544261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-29465764361519033522008-09-05T00:28:00.000-04:002008-09-05T00:28:00.000-04:00Not quite, no, not until April, and besides, the l...Not quite, no, not until April, and besides, the liquor flows freely and without government intervention in College Park.

Aside from the fact that they seem to be restricted by law or policy to only hiring people straight out of prison or rehab (or possibly the psycho ward), the total lack of consumer choice combines with the lack of responsiveness to consumer demand to provide lackluster options and surly (where not violent) customer service reps. <BR/><BR/>Then add to this the fact that they let their stock get way out of date and expect the customer to be satisfied. With a policy like that, no wonder they market to the perceived lowest common denominator. <BR/><BR/>Also, I think there's some sort of kickback thing going on where they really want you to buy from their downstream vendors, and thus make your experiences shopping at their outlet stores as unpleasant and unrewarding as possible.Thomas Hardmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07951423786343852055noreply@blogger.com
