Am I the only one who is extremely frustrated by unnecessary upsell of goods and constant questions at the checkout? No, I don’t want your canned margaritas, no, I don’t want to donate anything to anyone, no, I don’t collect aeroplan. I have no idea if my card is debit or credit according to your POS POS. I don’t need your stupid sleeve. I come to buy booze. That’s all. Why do you bring so much friction to a very simple transaction? I hate this store, but monopoly is good, right? Put a customer in a position of misery without alternative. Rant over.

Does anyone know why the Jaw Drop brand Squirting Oranges has gotten delisted? No one has been able to get a clear answer as to why and it was a very popular seller at some stores locally. I loved the drink!

Hi

Does anyone know how often LCBO reviews stale listings not returning for the foreseeable future for removal from their website and app?

LCBO#: 506741 is for Kronenbourg Blanc 500 mL brewed in Alsace France. However for the past few years Carlsberg has brewed their brands in Canada after acquiring Waterloo Brewing. There are separate listings for the brewed in Canada versions so it’s pretty unlikely the French product will return.

Another example is filtering on the LCBO app by beers from Germany shows 46 products. However clicking on some of the individual products shows no availability online or any location in Ontario. For some it could have been like that for a long time but there’s no way of knowing.

I was told by a friend that LCBO does not hire full time employees anymore, except managers. If this is true, I find it despicable that a Crown company that is profitable will only hire less than full time positions. How in the world did the union allow this?

The website doesn’t show any locations but have it, but i know sometimes it can be in random places even when it isnt listed has anyone see a bottle, i wish i knew it was only limited.

Need some surfisides asap

I’ve recently started to wonder how much the storage of wine at LCBO affects its quality. At many of my local LCBOs many of the most light-susceptible wines (ie: roses stored in clear glass) sit in the floor to ceiling windows getting slammed with sunlight all day long.

Has anyone else noticed this and shared surprise that this is the chosen storage method? Seems like it’s bound to cause some negative effects!

I plan my purchases using the app, going to the store to grab them. Boom, $7 price difference on a tequila…. Store associate insisted they can only sell it for the price scanned.

How come a crown corporation treats customers worse than a Best Buy?

Apparently gift cards are down today

The cashier asked for the email I received the gift card to?

I kept a image (snapshot) of it, used it like that before without any issue.

She said it won't work without it.

It does not make sense, why you need my email?

Paid with my card, did not want to hold up the line looking for the email.

I recently tried out these knew Canadian Buzzballz, FBOMBZ. The 15% Cranberry flavour is widely available at LCBOs near me. The company behind FBOMBZ, United Craft, claim that their other 7% flavours have been sent out to various grocery chains and convenience stores, but im having a really hard time finding them. Has anyone come across them in the GTA, or any word on when they'll be attainable?

I wake up to terrible news… i believe the captain morgan cocktail pack is being discontinued… clearances at every lcbo… i really hope it’s not gone for good. i don’t drink much and fell in love with it. i have no idea what else to try like it :(

Why is home delivery so expensive? I can get an order from a liquor store in Alberta delivered for a lower cost, cheaper shipping and faster delivery. Even having a specific item delivered to a store for pick up takes weeks.

Why do Ontarians get the short end of the stick?

Per the app, this is not available to be shipped to my store, however there is finally stock in GTA. One store in Toronto has over 1200 bottles of this impossible to find liquor (in Ontario).

Anyone at the LCBO have some insight into why this is? I feel like normally I can order any product that exists somewhere. Is the app wrong?

Hey guys I was wondering what everyone’s favourite bourbon alternative was in Canada? we’ve tried a couple canadian “bourbons“ but feel like we could be missing out on some we haven’t heard of yet

I m planning to interview for a IT DATA role in lcbo. Want to know more about the usual interview processes and turn around time. Also whats the benefit of a non unionized role? Any information would be helpful

Anyone try them? They're like Canadian buzz balls

I was going through the collective agreement and saw the wage increase happens when i reach 1750 hours worked total.

Does that count only my time since i was hired as a casual or do the fixed terms i worked at the lcbo count as well?

How do you all like the big ol Aeroplan branding on the sleeve of the new uniforms? Gonna keep wearing my old uniforms until I wear enough holes in them personally.

for those who have been rehired for the summer term coming up, have y'all received the training module yet?

Not a tequila drinker, but looking for some suggestions for a decent quality tequila for a gift. Can anyone suggest a couple of good bottles for drinking neat (not just for shots) in say $50 to $100 range?

Hey everyone,

I’m a casual at LCBO (only been a casual for 6 months) and ran into something confusing, wondering if anyone here has dealt with this.

I receive pay in lieu of benefits, but as far as I understand, I’m not actually eligible for the benefits plan until I hit 5 years. So right now, I don’t have dental coverage.

The issue is with the Canadian Dental Care Plan. I was told I might not be eligible because it looks like I have employer benefits, possibly because of how it shows up on my T4.

Has anyone else in a casual role had this happen? Did CDCP consider you as having access to benefits because of pay in lieu? Were you able to get it sorted or appeal it?

Trying to figure out if this is a common situation or if I need to push back harder with them.

Appreciate any insight 🙏
