This morning as I stopped at the local Speedway for coffee, I saw a beer delivery truck parked outside and the driver drinking a coffee and reading the newspaper inside. This made me think.
Why is that every gas station that opens has a cooler full of beer for sale. I had thought the idea was to stop drinking and driving. You say the beer is to take home to drink. Then why does it have to be cold? One can cool their own beer at home. No.......the beer is cold for ready drinking.
Regarding the sale of tobacco, law now states that the tobacco needs to be separated from the rest of the items in the store, where those under 18 can not have ready access. This separates the tobacco from the consumer; easier to control the purchase.
If we put tobacco out of reach from the customer, why don't we put the booze out of reach of the driver. Let's now make it so convenient to buy gas and booze at the same time. My opinion is that I will suffer less bodily harm from a smoker that I will a boozing driver.
Let's put the booze and the tobacco in a separate store along with the lottery tickets. We could call it the SIN STORE. If then, you are not inclined to be religious, then we could call it the VICE STORE.
dang stupid!
