trying to buy liquor at your store or another store?

Cashier ALWAYS has some snazzy bullsh*t to say. I'm embarrassed enough as it is. Just let me buy my sh*t and go!

AFAIK no Kroger sells "liquor"-our store just has beer and wine and some port, champagne and some other items. We do get a lot of requests from customers asking if we sell vodka-we have to send them to the liquor store on the other side of our shopping center where we are located

Must be some state law of wherever you are, anon, because my Kroger store (not a marketplace) has a liquor store inside it.

I think 4hourrush and I are in the same district, because our store also has a liquor store. And yep, the full lot, Jack Daniels, Smirnoff Vodka, etc etc.

It depends on the State, Ohio has "State Liquor Agency Stores" that Kroger is trying to gobble up one for each store location. Kentucky has a state tradition of its people wanting to be drunk at all times, so there is a Liquor Store on each corner. One requirement KY has, Liquor Stores has to have to be "own establishment" with their own entrance, which is why they are next door to the physical "Big" store.

 Really? Are the DUI rates higher than Ohio's?

My store has full-proof Everclear, and we used to carry Bacardi 151.

Go through SCO.  They are probably too busy to say anything.

I know in Pennsylvania (I go to Philly frequently) there are also the "state stores" and liquor is very tightly regulated there. I didn't know other states had similar set ups. Not sure if there is Kroger in Pennsylvania

Its only "State Regulated" as a revenue stream for the state. There is no reason why a state needs to own and control the sale of any consumable product. Its one thing to have laws on the sale, but another for a state to have 100% control of items widely available and able to be purchased by anyone over the age of 21.
