Selling strong beer in the grocery store and other easy to get to places.

Imagine the shitstorm liberals would throw if they voted to dramatically increase their own pay.

Also, many of you drink too much, enough that I'm sure it's impacting your health, and that makes me sad.

I think conservatives would be more pissed off about that than the liberals. It would have bi-partisan opposition, though.

you know what else is very lol about KS (assuming this is still the case anyway)? the no mixers in the booze store. you have to buy your booze and then buy your other crap somewhere else? no limes, ginger beer, etc.? gmafb. at Hyvee here you get limes (at grocery store lime prices) and all that crap right next to your handle of premium well liquor like god intended. and you get a redbull on the way out. and a shopping cart. and chips. and you earn fuel saver points. and Lee Greenwood is blaring in the outside speakers as you wheel your loot to your giant V8 SUV.

[Phil Titola]

People north of here really really like Hy-Vee I've learned

[catastrophe]

FWIW, I'm not sure you get those fuel points for alcohol purchases. At least I believe that's the case at most stores.

I've bought ginger beer at a liquor store. It has 1% alcohol! (may be rounded up)

Bought food one time at a target trying to be a slick suburbanite.....Threw it all away.

[star seed 7]

There was some company selling 1% cola too

[tdaver]

Talk about First World of Booze problems.

Idiot legislature out here has finally allowed restaurants to tear down the big wall around the booze.  Now you just need a short wall to keep the kids from becoming alcoholics.

[Cire]

There is an empty price chopper/dillons in my neighborhood.

I'd kill for a sprouts.

[catastrophe]

Getting a sprouts in like 1-2 miles away!

Tom Thumb walks a fine line between mid and garbage

[Tobias]

they open any HEBs there yet?

[Institutional Control]

Agreed.  Although there is a Tom Thumb in Frisco that borders on "elite".

[Institutional Control]

Supposedly, HEB has been buying land to put in stores here.  But that rumor goes around all the time, so who knows.

[Institutional Control]

And I guess Central Market is owned by HEB.

Bought a bunch of land, putting in a couple more Central Markets and selling the rest.

[Katpappy]

You know Reno, the next thing we'll see is those dirty southerns' selling moonshine out of the back of their pickup trucks. 

[mocat]

HEB and whole foods are pretty bitb
