Fast moving items will most likely be nearer the door and the rest would be in PLCB number order. You see the PLCB isn't good enough to use the barcode numbers for inventory order they had to come up with their own numbers and make all the wineries and distilleries use it by having tags glued on the boxes. Another PA way to be highly inefficient.Albert Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507998910770255971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-44073110017242754612015-10-28T18:50:50.976-04:002015-10-28T18:50:50.976-04:00Not only is their data entry lousy but PLCB stores...Not only is their data entry lousy but PLCB stores are often very disheveled. Some stores seem to have more empty shelves than they have full shelves. And yet at the same time, carts and boxes full of bottles are allowed to just sit (in the aisles!) for days. Also usually when carts are used, bottles are stacked very precariously in the carts, with no regard given to the fact these are fragile glass bottles. Lastly when the shelves are allowed to sit empty, years-old rust/stains from leaky bottles can be seen.<br /><br />I also am someone who often peeks into the back rooms of PLCB stores and most of the back rooms look not only filthy, but the boxes are just thrown everywhere in random order. It makes me feel bad for the few employees who take pride in their jobs and truly care about their store.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-89590900777962704592015-10-27T19:17:23.204-04:002015-10-27T19:17:23.204-04:00Tomorrow the PLCB is releasing new board minutes. ...Tomorrow the PLCB is releasing new board minutes. I can't wait to read what stores they plan on "upgrading" this time... despite the fact that most of the public has been tired of state stores, no matter how you slice it, for decades.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-17798181448251940542015-10-27T17:54:50.618-04:002015-10-27T17:54:50.618-04:00Given the choice of the one you listed or the one ...Given the choice of the one you listed or the one on the FWAGS page, take this one.

As an example, I just now picked a category at random: BOURBON (STRAIGHT). There were wrong entries on the first page, and then I came across an entry that wasn't even a bourbon: Forty Creek Double Barrel, which is Canadian whisky. Didn't even have to look too hard, as you can see by how quickly I got this up after you posted. <br />A search tool is only as good as the database it's searching.
