It's nice to hear from you, and your effort is appreciated. <BR/><BR/>That said...the idea that not one store in Pennsylvania would be able to sell enough Luxardo to keep some on the shelf -- as they do at the fairly pedestrian Joe Canal's where I did find it, hardly a superstore -- is something I find depressing. It may seem silly, or overwrought, but that's some of the point of the blog: why not let your customers and what they purchase, or the judgment of the store manager, direct what your store carries, instead of the decisions of someone sitting behind a desk in Harrisburg? In fact, why have a state-run monopoly system at all? <BR/><BR/>And <I>that</I> is the whole crux of the matter. You won't see a <BR/>"<B>Reason</B>" on this blog about the people who staff the stores. Maybe the union, or the work rules, or the Board, but not the staff. I've met good folks and not-so-good folks at State Stores...just like anywhere else. <BR/><BR/>Again, thanks. It's been a ray of sunshine; keep it up.Lew Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084380741402026573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-15664174881551626942008-07-16T17:12:00.000-04:002008-07-16T17:12:00.000-04:00Hi Lew,I am a "clerk 2" or assistant manager in a ...Hi Lew,<BR/><BR/>I am a "clerk 2" or assistant manager in a Wine & Spirits store in Pennsylvania and I just wanted to let you know that after reading one of your blogs I searched for the Luxardo Maraschino cherry Liqueur and it is available through Special Liquor Order and you only have to order one bottle. I have seen many SLO's arrive just days after the order is placed, I don't think that's too long to wait. Anyway it is in our sytem, not quite sure when you posted that particular blog but you can get it now, sorry that you dealt with an employee who wasn't able to help you. <BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Julia DevineJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03658588604133166223noreply@blogger.com
