LCBO and social responsibility. Now there is an oxymoronic statement.
I was shocked to see individual bottles of beer for sale on an end cap display at the LCBO at Jackson Square.
I didn't stop to investigate much, or take a closer look (one day I will). It immediately made me think of the small packs of cigarettes (called kiddie packs) which were designed to sell to people without much money (kids, and lower income). The government outlawed them a few years back.
I can't recall seeing individual bottles of beer (sure large cans and bottles but not individual regular bottles) for sale at any other LCBO. As I mentioned above, one day I'm going to stop and take a closer look to be sure I saw what I thought I saw, LCBO catering to those who can't afford a 6 pack.
