It says they are trying to add convenience but from what I can tell, the kiosks are only open from 9AM-9PM, closed Sun, that's pretty much the liquor store hours anyway with the exception of Mon and Tues.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06900534233446433658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-56876380009684602712010-05-13T14:03:40.214-04:002010-05-13T14:03:40.214-04:00OK, I'm completely confused. I've tried t...OK, I'm completely confused. I've tried to educate myself about this by reading different stories on the internet, but I'll be damned if I can figure out the purpose behind this. <br /><br />How/why is this a superior system then just having store employees handle wine sale transactions? Is the point to try to stop mildy intoxicated people from purchasing more alcohol (apparently the machine won't operate if your BAC is above .05%)? <br /><br />At least by reputation, wine prices in Pa. are some of the highest in the country. Surely dispensing wine from a locked kiosk, that is located inside a grocey store (and with LCB employees on site to assist), is only going to make the cost that much higher. <br /><br />Personally, I've never heard of a self service wine kiosk, and would be curious to know who came up with this brillian idea. Is there any other state that employees this system? <br /><br />Sorry, I guess I'm just really, really dense today, but I can see absolutely no upside to installing these wine kiosks in various grocery stores around the state.JohnM.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08630863956282168060noreply@blogger.com
