good a.m., all!
just wondering how many of you may have ventured out (like myself) this a.m. in a (pretty much futile) effort to buy one of the Rick Pitino/Maker's Mark's that went on sale this a.m.?
I decided to take a shot at Liquor Barn(LB)/Beverage Whse.(BW) on Shelbyville Rd., as they're across the street from each other. They're both listed on their respective websites as opening @ 9:00am.
When I got over there - about 8:45 - there were about 30 folks in the BW cue and about 250+ in the LB cue. I figured BW might not have as much stock, but with the shorter cue, I went for it.
About 9, BW opened as advertised and we began to flow in. About 9:10, I noticed a commotion across the road - word had gotten out that, despite the website posting - LB was not opening until 10:00am!...and (it was claimed) they only had 16 bottles!!
Not unlike lemmings, a couple of hundred people tried to cross Shelbyville Rd en masse to get in the BW cue! It was a hoot! (and pretty dangerous...)
End of story, I got in to BW with only 8 bottles left and got mine, leaving still over 100 folks outside.
It was all pretty reminiscent of trying to get in to Honeybaked Ham on Saturday before Easter!
Hope any of you looking for the bottle had better luck!
