lame

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.

    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.
