More like they probably charged the taxes and didn't properly remit them to the state. As I recall that's an automatic suspension of the license to sell until the situation is fully investigated, fines are paid, and they give the go ahead to sell again.

Basically how weed sales work in DC.

Well what about the supreme court....

Someone needs to go be poor in a red state for a year to truly enjoy what a democrat controlled government actually gives them.

But this is about waterfalls

Yeah according to a cashier I talked to at the FM store in Lacey. It has to do with the WA LCB to crack down to stop sales of alcohol to minors. She also told me they now card anyone no matter how old they look for tobacco sales, lighters, and even caught medicine.

Happens like 3 times a day

There were contract stores all over the state that sold state liquor:

"...contract stores that sold spirits for the state in less populated areas... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4608622/

Like the little store in "downtown" Roslyn that had liquor on the wall behind the counter. Or the grocery store out in Ilwaco that had a gated off section to sell alcohol.

I don't know what it was like on the Westside of Washington but whe i was in Eastern Washington you could only buy from the state there weren't any private owned stores that I was aware of.

The state also had lots of small stores around the state that sold liquor - I guess acting as an agent of the state, keeping sales separate.

I’m not sure what their source is…. But they said “liter” not liquor.. in reference to WA spirit liter tax not the liquor tax.

Two pharmacists enter, one pharmacist leaves!

That would be weird, since the tax has been in place since 2012.

This.

Sounds soooo much better than “We sold to a minor and got caught, so the state liquor control board shut down sales.”

Technically, it’s true since LCB defines the taxing structure of spirits as well.

Gig Harbor has loads of alcoholics too....I suppose they will have to drive over to Tacoma to stock up

I live nearby and was there yesterday thinking....some accountant f'd up and is blaming it on a minimum wage team member who is blaming it on the state.

You forgot to mention that prior to Costco you could only buy from WA. State liquor Control Board (the state government owned and operated all the liquor stores). And when that law passed the state was required to either sell or close the stores owned and operated by the state. The law also stated that you had to have at least 10,000 square feet of retail sales space.

And better public services than red hellscapes

All I can see is folks wanting their drink, getting pissed, knocking bottles off the shelves. But I get the work and space.

I absolutely adore how he's "that dude that stole a chair" now. Love it. Inslee ragged him about it at one point. :: chef's kiss::
