New Union Ad Says Beer in Grocery Stores 'Kills Children'

The liquor store union in Pennsylvania is on the ropes. Right now if one wants to buy beer or liquor in the Keystone State one must buy it from the state owned liquor stores. Run by state employees. But soon Pennsylvania will likely join the civilized world in allowing its residents to buy beer the way God intended. From a gas station.

This is curtains for the liquor store employee union and it is not giving up without a fight. The spin guys for the union put together this ad to warn us that if booze was taken out of the hands of the state of Pennsylvania carnage of the worst kind would result.

You see the liquor store employee union wants to ban beer in grocery stores to save your children. Always for the children.

I remember when I lived in Ohio you could only buy booze in state stores which were open “bankers hours”.

...buy beer the way God intended.

If God truly is just, he'd have made it rain from the sky so I could collect it in buckets.

Yeah, alcohol killed my uncle Jim...

He was run over by a Budweiser truck!

Actually, you can’t buy beer in a State Store - just liquor and wine.

You buy beer either by the case at a “distributor”, or by the 6 pack at a restaurant/bar or 6 pack shop.

Wegmans and Sheetz are pushing the envelope with selling beer in their stores because they argue that they offer sit down food, thus they’re a restaurant.

disgusting ad, unions need to be busted

[katnip]

My understanding since moving to this state is that you can only by liquor from State run stores.

Beer is sold at privately run Beer stores but they can only sell it by the case.

You can only buy a six pack from a bar.

I think the law here is just plain weird.

I hate overpriced, government-run ANYTHING. Look at the state Driver’s License bureaus to see what medical care will be like in 5 years!

No way! All that beer flowing down the Mississippi down to the ocean as waste? Wrong!

Are Planned Parenthood employee unionized?

What’s wrong with a grocery store selling barley soup?

[DoughtyOne]

Ah yes, “Look for the union fable...”

[rabidralph]

Oh my goodness! I can’t believe someone made and voiced this ad with a straight face! I love the creepy piano music, too.

My grandfather worked in a brewery and died on the job.
The detectives told my grandmother that he fell from a catwalk into a large vat of brew and drowned.
Of course, she was weeping, beside herself, and said all she hoped was that he hadn’t suffered.
They assured her, `No,’ that from the footprints it appeared he had climbed out at least twice to pee.

State run stores aren’t any better - PA is a basketcase state regardless.

[RedMDer]

ROTFLOL!

Unions in PA are the reason we are saddled with high prices and subpar merchandise in liquor stores. Go to any other state and compare selection and price. I'm not talking a few cents higher — I'm talking dollars. Every few years some politician goes through the motions of trying to privatize liquor stores in PA, but it never happens. Unions run things and they pay off the politicians to go along.
