losing money when you're the only game in town . . .

Published Nov. 2, 2009

. . . seems to be the way things are going for some ABC stores in North Carolina, but it's hard to accept that when you're the only game in town (legally) you could lose money selling booze. Come on now.

Do we really want to put health care in the hands of big government?

Control Corrupts...Absolute Control Corrupts Absolutely.

Some ABC stores lose money despite N.C.'s booze control (WRAL News Story)

Come up with your own clever Ha Ha placard

Wonder how they can lose money when they are the only ones that can sell the product. Prehaps other drugs are more popular and more are useing them. protect and serve should be goverments only roll in our life. They shouldnt make any money for profit.

S the S; Govmnt already proved they could not profit in a brothel; Bunny Ranch in Nev, seized for taxes and run by Govmnt and lost money; sold to private owner and making money.

Now this Govmnet wants to run and control everything we do; country in a mess now and getting worse.

Trust me, Old Rebel, when I tell you...In the event of an economic collapse (which may very well be closer than ya' think), Ol' Ginger will be the gal to see for all your 'shine needs. ;)

Sorry Tmed.....I missed the blog but targeting one's children is about as common as it can get. Consider the (no class) source and wait for your chance.

Perhaps the folks that run the ABC stores should consider opening brothels.

But then, I guess if they can’t make money selling booze, they sure as Hell couldn’t make money selling broth ....

;-)

T...Sorry you're on the end of tht sort of attack. I had the same kind of "guilt by association" type of attack recently. Anyone who attacks someone through their children is beneath contempt. And for those who do so and then use a weak excuse like (a) I had the flu (b) I was on medication (c) I was drunk and can't be held responsible

I say, (a) My condolences for your illness and I hope you've recovered (b) I'd look into less medication and more meditation &/or (c) No one cares much for a bitter old drunk

they lose money b/c government fails to understand the concept of profit

trolls back with an e-rated blog and photo, attacking my son...it's wuffpack

the troll blog has been pulled. I don't know who the troll is, but I have a VERY good idea...he "joined" today...another full moon troll LOL... back on topic, I don't really understand exactly how they lose money. Is it because they don't sell enough booze to pay the salary of the workers plus expenses? And I don't understand if there are state subsidies for running them. Who owns the real estate? NC was the first place I lived where the state was involved in the direct sale of liquor. Everywhere else I ever lived, they were privately owned.

I did the same as OR. I iggied it after the first nasty pic
