You know what all you Victrola complainers need? A beer!
Fortunately, as tipster Andrew reports and we’ve verified with our own 4 eyes, Victrola will soon be able to hook you up:
You guys might want to know that Victrola is applying for a liquor license – there’s a little sign in their front window – apparently they will be serving beer and wine in the evenings.
This brings the locations that do not sell alcohol on 15th Ave to three — we expect Tilden to apply for a liquor license any day now. Thanks Andrew.
Oh, and as for your note about QFC, Andrew, we were already all over the arrival of the self-checkout robots. We didn’t know they’d tear the place up and turn the front of the store into a crowded maze, however. Yet another reason to check out Madison Market or brave the packaged hippie food extravaganza at Trader Joe’s.
Just as long as I don’t have to get drunk off their hump.
I actually like checkout robots. I use them when I can even when it would be easier to go through the regular line. I suppose you might think of it as anti-worker since they make real wages but I do not like the way the checkers manhandle my perishables even when I ask them to be careful. They simply say “it’s not going hurt it,” as the hold it upside down and shake it violently back and forth.
Well I am buying it so I will be the judge of that, thank you.
And, yes, self serve soup it fragile when you fill it over the limit and lightly “float” the cap on top of it.
Checkout robots are only useful when the slooooooooooooooow checkers are working. You know them because their lines are half as long, but you still get through faster in the other line.
Daryl is the slowest. I love him, though.
I am all for Madison Market. I recently ducked into QFC after returning a video next door and their lack of selection drives me nuts. Thankfully they had my favorite winter brew on sale for $5.99 per 6pack, so it kind of made up for it.
Ah, Tilden. I just reviewed it over on Yelp today. Immediately after I posted the review wondering about Tilden’s continued existence, I got a message from someone saying, simply, “Drug front.”
My theory is more that they signed a really cheap 30 year lease in 1987.
Ariel, you are a local review site poet. You ask questions that, by simple human existence, cannot be answered. You make us weep.
j, I live to serve.
