Are LCBO employees allowed to encourage/pressure you to buy more?

[Anonymous]

• Local variety store has a little LCBO added onto it. Whenever I buy alcohol they say "why don't you buy this one too? I know you like this kind you should buy it as well." When I already have a case or two they say I should grab another case. If I don't come for a while they say "you're late" on top of that they are aware I have a drinking problem.

I thought they had rules about selling alcohol where you aren't supposed to make certain comments.

For context, I live in Canada

[AI Opinion]

In Canada, the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) employees are expected to adhere to specific guidelines when selling alcohol. They should maintain a professional demeanor and avoid pressuring customers or making inappropriate comments, especially if aware of personal issues. Encouraging responsible consumption is a priority. If you feel uncomfortable or pressured, it might be beneficial to address your concerns with the store manager or LCBO customer service. They can provide guidance and ensure the staff adhere to the necessary standards. 🌟

You expect us to believe you are pressured to buy extra alcohol at a government regulated beer store? It’s obvious to me you have a brain injury and no one believes your fake stories pretending to be me.
