LCBO is probably the premium booze delivery system in the world. They are the largest single buyer on booze in the world.
From NYC to Newport Beach CA and all points in between. In comparison to LCBO, just pathetic. Same with all Provinces with the exception of Quebec, but still nowhere near Ontario.
The LCBO name originates from the olden days. When I was 16 one entered the building. Nothing on display. You went to the counter and got a paper slip and a pencil. Then you were required to write down what you wanted and hand that slip to a dude behind the counter and he would disappear into the back and come back with the bottle already in a paper bag.
If you could not speak English or write English, and many people in Toronto could not, the guys would fill it out for you. I never got asked for ID, but the guys behind the counter, usually 5, in my case due to my height, didn't give a hoot. I was very popular in grade 12 and 13.
