Free Booze
LCBO is especially busy these days, what with holiday parties and what not. The store employees are all up front at the register with maybe one pimple faced lil kokboy stocking a shelf or running to the back for an extra box or crate. Boyz, I never pay for booze between December 1 and January 2.
Select an LCBO in a high traffic area about 5:30 pm to ensure the employees are buried with customers on their way home from work. Walk in with full winter gear (bring a flask or small thermos, tucked securely and discreetly in your coat). Proceed with a liberal's sense of entitlement to the section of your pleasure, unscrew the cap on your favourite bottled spirit and pour into aforementioned flask/thermos. Place the container back in your coat, leaving empty bottle at the back of shelf and walk out.*
This is fully legal in most jurisdictions as you are not shoplifting the barcode stamped bottle. You are merely sampling the contents. The case law will back me up.
Proceed home and enjoy.
* If questioned as to why you have purchased nothing, tell them their selection of German beer is "predictable." Snarl and exit with your head held high.
