Further to my above post I saw this report from earlier in the month:
Two weeks booze-free: LCBO sets out contingency plans if strike goes ahead | Globalnews.ca
Unionized LCBO workers are counting down to a July 5 strike deadline, threatening to take drastic industrial action if demands are not met.
globalnews.ca
"For the first 14 days of the strike — beginning on July 5, if no deal is reached — the LCBO said all of its retail stores across the province would be closed. From July 19, if the strike were to still be ongoing, 30 stores would open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for a limited number of hours."
Whatever happened to that plan? Did 30 stores open today?

No. They nixed that idea.
Decided to redeploy staff to the warehouse and online ordering.

Deal reached (for real this time), with stores reopening on Tuesday July 23.

I was rather surprised to see my store at Manulife so empty this morning, I was in and out in five minutes (with Champagne, today is our anniversary).

I has a similar experience today, no lineup.
Granted, Tuesday, Mid-day is not normally a busy time for LCBO, but one might have thought there would have been some inordinate level of business today. Of course, if people have been stocking up/hoarding through online orders, and/or beer store/ wine rack etc.......then that may explain the less voluminous traffic.
Congrats! I hope you got your bonus Aeroplan points

As a footnote to the above discussion, I was in the Loblaws at Bathurst/Lakeshore over the weekend, they normally sell wine.........not one bottle.........not one. No plonk, no premium, and nothing in-between.
They were filling some of the space w/beer.
But some was just empty.

I know of a couple of local craft breweries that have been routinely sold out of cans during the strike
