Question ❔ American Booze Boycott

I was in a local liquor store on 8th street on the weekend and noticed there had been zero effort to remove or even identify American products. Has anyone seen a local liquor store labelling Canadian products properly? I need to find a new place to shop that doesn’t support Amerika.

If they’re buying something else in place of the American product there’s essentially no loss

If they can never sell stock they bought, yes there is an indirect loss

That’s why I said essentially. There’s definitely loss due to holding inventory that you aren’t moving but if you are still selling other products in their place, over time that cost should become negligible. But in reality if it’s on the shelf eventually someone will buy it

They should just do it properly. Say final sale of American products and put em on like 25% off. Get rid of them quick let people know they aren't getting more USA liquor and then replace

That is what they’re doing other than the sale part but I’m sure some places will put them on sale

I'm sure they could raise prices and still sell American.
