      Sheetz, which is the only reason you can buy beer at a gas station or grocery store at all: they fought back and forth with the state for years. Would meet the requirements for a restaurant license, get a restaurant license, but beer in, get shut down by the LCB, take the beer out, apply for a restaurant license, put beer in and so on.

    • @bkane573
      @bkane573 2 года назад +5

      Depends where you are at. I grew up in a county where have the townships and boroughs were dry. In one not only are they dry, but a church owns all the licenses, so even if the township goes wet, no one can open a bar or anything else.
      On another dry township the golf course requested a variance to the ordinance; which was put on the ballot and they got. Several years later a restaurant applied for a variance and it got voted
      Down by 2/3rds.

      @@chrisrinker8813 the commonwealth is fighting it to not privatize alcohol sales. At least when it comes to the state stores, millions of dollars that fund the state come from alcohol sales. All of the profits, after paying the employees, paying to rent buildings, paying for all business things, all the profit goes to the state. Privatization would be a one shot of a lot of money selling liquor licenses. When that money would run out who knows where they'd tax us. It sucks not being able to buy hard liquor and beer in the same place but if it were to change, I think we'd be a bit worse off.

    • @brittanysmith7281
      @brittanysmith7281 2 года назад +3

      So the reason you don't see many grocery stores that sell alcohol is because of the strict laws in place that allow them to sell it. Businesses must have a separate area apart from the main area of the store to store and purchase the alcohol, register included. They must also have seating for at least 30 people. It's basically treated as a restaurant attached to the store. I know at the local Weis, they have it at their Deli section

      In texas you can't buy alcohol anywhere on sunday until after 12pm. So if you want alcohol at your tailgate before the game, make sure you plan ahead and buy it the day before. There have been several items when i was waiting tables, where the restaurant opened at 11am on Sundays, and I had to tell some one they had to wait an hour before i could serve them, and some people got all kinds of pissed. I think thats why a lot of restaurants dont open until noon on Sundays so they dont have to turn people down on alcohol.

    • @ariste01
      @ariste01 3 года назад

      Yeah there were still really strict hours on the state stores and stuff when the law was first changed and bars may still have to close on Sundays. I don't drink much and I can probably count the number of bars I've patronized in my life on one hand so I don't pay that close attention. Now, we can finally buy wine and beer at SOME grocery and convenience stores in just the last few years and some of them are open 24/7. Each store has to get its own license though so even within the same chain some stores might have a license and some might not. The sheetz nearest me couldn't sell alcohol until a few months ago because it's across the street from an elementary school. The school was supposed to move to a new building this year though that got pushed back til next but they still finally let that store sell booze.
      And because I mentioned it sheetz has better food than wawa but wawa has better smoothies and I really wish they'd bring the cannoli chips back.

    According to Pennsylvania state law, you are unable to sing in the bathtub. However, belting your heart out next to the bathtub afterwards is socially acceptable. According to 55 Pa. Code 3800.6 it's also illegal to have a child's bedroom within 200 feet of a bathtub.

      what?! That is insane and impossible to have a bathroom further than 200 ft from a bedroom in any lower income house. So are you saying bathrooms only have showers in most homes? this law make absolutely no sense.

    I had lived in PA (Marshall's Creek) in the early 2000's and most of my time there I worked at a big box store and we could tell when an out of stater came in because they would ask where the alcohol. I left in 2007 looks like a lot has changed, I am now living in NM and alcohol sales stop at midnight and on Sundays you have to wait till noon before you can buy alcohol.

    my interesting event in PA was when I was hitchhiking (50 years ago, it was a thing) I was on a sparsely used highway when out from the tree line came a mama bear and an older cub. they crossed the divided highway to the other side and disappeared into the trees. I was dumbfounded to see bears so close up, but they ignored me so...I still think of PA and those bears. I had nowhere to go, I'm glad they barely looked my way, but it's etched in my mind ever since. there wasn't a bear crossing sign, I guess bears are scofflaws in PA
