CKHA New Country CFRT CFUR Radio CFXX CHAT CHSR CHUCK at CHUO CHVN A six pack of beer costs the same in the suburbs as it does downtown, at the LCBO, and at the beer store. The only exception to this is when a store is delisting a product, they may have it set at a clearance rate.
It's not uncommon for an LCBO employee to begin their day at 7 a. The job can make you physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted all within a couple of hours and sometimes it show on an employee's face. Combine this with the fact that management is incentivized to cut hours and under-staff the employees as they receive bonuses for staying under budget, so chances are the employees are dealing with a lack of bodies as well.
Like any customer-facing job, most people will put on a smile anyway and power through it, but if we let the look of exhaustion slip, please understand why. If you went out to dinner and had an excellent bottle of wine, the best thing you could do for your local LCBO employee is take a photo of the bottle with the name clearly visible.
If I had a nickel for every time someone told me they had a bottle of red wine with a yellow label they absolutely loved and can't remember the name of, I'd be able to buy out the Vintage section. If you forgot to snag a photo, then simply knowing the country or even type of grape goes a long way into helping us solve your riddle.
Similarly, when buying a gift, know what the person you're buying for likes. Saying "I want to get a gift for my boss, but I don't know what she drinks" is going to end with a recommendation of a bottle of scotch and a reminder that they can exchange it for store credit even without a receipt.
If they like wine, find out what varietal they prefer, if they're a beer drinker check if that means Budweiser, stouts, or sour craft beers.
There's a lot of satisfaction in helping someone find the perfect product, but to do so, your help will be needed.

Retailers, including the LCBO and Ikea, say postal code information is collected to fine-tune services for customers, including product selection, and to target flyers to specific neighbourhoods to reduce waste and save money on postal services. But the potential exists for using postal code information to compile personalized mailing lists that can be sold or shared. Data collection and management companies including Harte-Hanks Data Services and Solutions, which operates worldwide, offer businesses the ability to use software to match postal codes with credit card information to come up with unique addresses.
Canadians are more worried than ever about the misuse of their personal information, according to the results of a survey released late last year by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
