Yes, if you read the article I linked, the young agent paid for, and left with the alcohol in hand:




The decision says that on July 19, 2023, a 16-year-old minor agent entered Merridale’s store, selected a 1 litre bottle of cider with an alcohol by volume content of six per cent.

The minor agent then went to the cash counter, and the employee asked if he wanted to pay with cash or credit card. The minor then paid with cash and was able to leave.

Weird, that's a pretty quick turnaround since the eviction, no?  Almost like it was in the works...  It's a great name though.

Great more gin.

I think it's whiskey actually.

[Matt R.]

Oh, no doubt there will be gin as well, it's what pays the bills.  Quick turnaround.  Maybe I'm wrong.

[lanforod]

Something has to pay the bills yeah. Whiskey takes time. 3 years minimum

[Matt R.]

Gin is like two days.. turn and burn!

[lanforod]

speaking of, someone gifted me some gin. I don't care for gin and tonic. What are other good ways to drink it? 

[Nparker]

Gin is great in a lot of cocktails including the classic martini (with an olive) and my favourite, the Negroni.

[Matt R.]

Gin soda twist is nice, and gin and juice - always a classic.

[LJ]

Gin gimlet, mmm.

[lanforod]

Looked that up, that sounds good. I'll try it, with maple syrup instead of simple syrup.

This with 7up and blue curacao?

[Matt R.]

I’d drink that.
