Have you guys caught wind of this whole scandal? Sucks! My opinion is that this was a highly improper and power-mad punishment for a paperwork mistake. A ten day closure could drive some people out of business. And what if you were the type of business that had contractual commitments for events, like a wedding or something? You could totally get sued. How about a 500 dollar fine? That seems more appropriate for a slap on the wrist, plus, then it generates money for the ABC and the state rather than just sucking money out of a business.
One fun fact I recently learned about the ABC: when they send out decoys, if the decoys are asked their age they have to answer honestly. That's why sometimes your checker/server will just ask you how old you are to skip the checking the ID step. I always thought that was so weird.
I like this exchange:

The Shady Lady owners should have been aware of all that's involved in having a loquor license. Their neglect caused the problem.

Don't be so smug. You couldn't even recite .01% of the laws that govern your every day existence. No one can.
Seems like bullshit. The mistaken charge of selling drugs on theABC website is also pretty stupid.
