B.C. has announced that government\u002Drun liquor stores are implementing limits on alcohol sales in response to job action.
It said in a statement Friday that no more than three of any individual item may be purchased per customer, per day, at BC Liquor Stores, although beer purchases are exempt.
The ministry said the sales limits were designed “to ensure equal access to product for all customers during the BCGEU job action,” and will remain in place until further notice.A group representing private liquor stores, bars, pubs, and retail cannabis outlets said the rationing would likely result in some products being sold out as early as the weekend.Article content
Guignard said at a press conference in a private Vancouver liquor store Friday that the rationing comes at a bad time for the hospitality industry, which is recovering from pandemic-related losses and staff shortages.“Today we’re asking both sides to get back to the table immediately and find a deal, because this is now impacting B.C.’s entire $15-billion liquor industry, thousands of small businesses and 200,000 workers that we employ.
He said some retailers had experienced limited “panic buying” as a result of the strike action, and news of the rationing could make it worse.The union said that if it planned to adjust its strategy it would inform members first.
