Liquor Mart handing out shots
1/2/2009 at 11:32 AM
Over the holidays I returned to my home town & decided to visit the local Liquor Mart. While standing in line to make my purchase I noticed a both set up beside the line with a liquor mart employee standing behind it. On the table she had shots of rye set out & was asking people if they would like one.
Maybe it's just me but it seemed a little hypocritical having a Manitoba Government operated establishment handing out free shots of liquor fully knowing you will be getting back into your vehicle to drive.
This is the same government that has been trying to pound it into our heads for years not to drink and drive. Maybe they were trying to create more revenue by handing out shots then hoping the RCMP would pull you over & bust you. Just another example of "Do as I say , not as I do, government mentality".
As I left (no I didn't have a shot) I passed a poster stuck on the door...Please don't drink & drive.
