NWI INGO General Post - Part 14

Y only noon to 8pm for sunday sales?
Can u buy booze at 1am mon thru friday?

 

[melensdad]

Ballstater, yeah that new thing with the liquor stores open on sunday has me waiting till 8:30 pm to start the monthly maintenance on their pos system. I use to jsut do it in the middle of the day on sundays...

Bummer.

I can tell you that I don't think liquor store owners are thrilled. The one I know says that he expects the same sales he used to have to just be spread over more work/labor hours, with Sunday adding to costs, not to actual sales.

I did go and buy a bottle yesterday. 23 year old bourbon. The main reason I went was to be a jerk to the store owner. I've known him for 20 years, he was my customer years ago, now I'm his customer. So I went in there just to joke around with him. Turned out I emptied my wallet for that bottle of bourbon, but its not too common to find bourbon that is aged that long so it just had to come home with me.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.
It's always funny to see the press bump numbers one way or another depending on their viewpoint. I thought media bias was bad around 2000, but these last few years makes that seem honest in comparison. And this is why most honest reviews are with loggers/vloggers. While some are biased it' usually easy to find more than a couple to get a better understanding.

He still has the option to not be open on Sundays. The market should determine what hours a store is open, not the .gov.

Of course he has the option. But until the market decides what the consumers want he needs to be there to serve their needs.

His shop is on the outskirts of Cedar Lake. It was surprisingly busy during the time I was there. I'm sure if sales fall off he could cut his Sunday hours back. But otherwise he could end up losing 1/7th of his sales if he is not open while increasing his labor and utilities costs.

The grocery store about a mile away from his liquor had a wine tasting party and the clerks were expecting a big crowd. I was told they were giving away free hot dogs & wine. Well, it is a grocery store in Cedar Lake, so hot dogs and wine seems like a good pairing. To someone?

Boone Farms? Franzia?

Boone Farms? Franzia?

Probably some generic wine in a cardboard box because 'murica'

 

[actaeon277]

He might have the same sales spread over 7 days.
On the other hand, this close to the border, he might gain some that he was losing to Illinois.

 

[actaeon277]

What do you guys think of the Ruger Mk III?

 

[jedi]

Its a nice beginner gun.
Very heavy which gives no recoil for thw
22lr. That being said get the newer generation of it cause the takedown to clean the mkiii is a ......... it's too much work and a headache. The one i have ive only took it apart 3 times and just semi clean now a days.

 

[jedi]

Lots of youtube videos on all the issues of taking it apart vs the new gen which ruger finally learned to redo the design for easier cleaning after all the aftermarket mods that were being sold for it

 

[d.kaufman]

I had one and they are excellent shooters
Like Jedi said they are heavy. Sold it and got the Mark iv 22/45 lite. Extremely simple takedown and tandemkross makes a great trigger for it. The wife puts 1" groups together with it at 50ft. I love it. Nice and lightweight.

 

[Ericpwp]

I like the buckmark. It is much simpler to put back together.

 

[actaeon277]

I was just looking at one with a threaded barrel.
I guess it would be better to get a mk iv and find a threaded barrel to put in?

I think volquartsen might have a barrel.

 

[KLB]

Or get a MP22c

 

[actaeon277]

A s&w m&p 22?
I have one.


I also have a beretta neos.
But I don't see how I'm going to thread that.

No, they make a Compact version now, or is that the one you have?

You just want another threaded 22 pistol?

 

[actaeon277]

Yes, I want another threaded pistol.

 

[jedi]

U will poke your eye out.
