Bizarre WWS display at Wegman's in Ithaca

Must be a good brew if its on the top shelf with those extra crafty bud light platinums!

 

Love it. Someone should get this to Sam.

 

This has gotta be an "anti-theft" precaution of sorts to prevent people from throwing these in a mix a 6 for $9.99

 

Haha thats funny. I have to check my Wegmans to see if they have any in stock tomorrow!

 

I kind of wondered that, too. But even then...unless the person who unlocks it then escorts you to the register, what's to stop some thieving asshat from making a mixed sixer with it anyway?

Personally, I don't have any objection to the way David does things at my favorite grocery store/beer store back home. Special releases like that simply get a sign in the beer aisle. Want a bottle? Go ask for it, and purchase it, at customer service. If it keeps the store from getting screwed over, I'm all for it.

 

Just saw this lol http://www.beerpulse.com/2012/03/pi...ocked-up-between-bud-light-platinum-12-packs/

 

this is great. i'd love to see what else is on those shelves

 

Nothing I suppose, but it definitely still draws attention to them, which is a deterrent.

Definitely agree and really it's gotta be the way it's done. I'm sure this happens all the time with Midas Touch and Palo Santo.



...cough cough...LeBleu release?

 

I always order it online.

 

True, I have seen this happen way too often at Wegmans in Syracuse. Not just this one, but the Palo Santo, 120 minute, Midas amongst others....Not fair to those who make an honest 6-pack.

 

8.49? pretty cheap.

 

That top shelf is where the elite stuff is found.

 

I think it may be time to move to individually priced bottles, maybe with a 10% mix-a-six discount. That's how liquor stores near me do it, but I don't think they do the discount anymore, sadly. I've broken the $20 mark for a mixed six. Not too hard when you toss Belgians in there.

 

Isn't that per bottle?
