Supermarket Opens Pub to Dodge Liquor Laws, Hires Bouncers
Original: A Supermarket Opened a Pub to Get Around Liquor Laws. Now It Needs Bouncers. https://www.wsj.com/world/a-supermarket-ope
A supermarket has opened an on-site pub as a way to work around restrictive liquor licensing laws, but the workaround has brought unexpected consequences: the store now needs bouncers to manage the bar area. The arrangement highlights how retailers are finding creative, and occasionally unruly, ways to sell alcohol where rules limit straightforward alcohol sales.
Why now: The unusual legal workaround and its comic side effects of needing door security are drawing attention.
