I'm just saying there is a connection with bars that absolutely positively does not exist with c stores. And it is ridiculous to try to hold them to the same standards.You honestly think the people "over-served" are the ones creating these problems? Someone falling down drunk isn't getting into a lot of fights.
What is over-served anyway? Is the bar forcing drinks on someone? Feeding them drinks they didn't order?This is one of those "something needs to be done!" laws. Blame the establishment instead of the person.
Whether or not overserving IS the issue, there is at least reasonable causation.
I think the question that should be asked by the c store owners is "Exactly what do you think we are doing to cause the issue? What do we need to do different?" I'll bet they cant articulate a remedy. Or at least not a reasonable one.
