Over 50% of income from alcohol sales

(1/3) > >>

Erock:
How is one to know if a business generates over 50% of it's income from alcohol sales.  I have eaten steak at a small town bar with 20 other people. More food & nonalcoholic drinks were served than alcoholic drinks at least on this particular night.  Do you ask to see their financial reports?

I noticed their prohibited sign posted on a wall inside the dining area among advertisements & community news as we were leaving.  Was not posted at the door facing outward.  Was there for 2hrs but couldn't see it from where I was sitting.

Thoughts on this?

I don't know how you would know, either.  I've run into a similar problem, where I was carrying but didn't know if a pizza place that sold beer was above or below 50%. It's a very ill-conceived part of the law.

I feel this should be on the business owner not us. I know this is not the case but it should be. No sign no problem is how I see it at this pount

I would agree. It's should be written into the liquor license laws that if a business generates 50% income from alcohol sales they are required to then post a sign. A properly posted sign then makes it pretty cut & dry.

Not sure why a percentage of sales is even a part of the law. What's the purpose behind that language?

RLMoeller:
The purpose is that many people did not want Concealed Carry to pass in Nebraska.  So as the attempt in 2006 finally had a shot at passing, numerous restrictions were put in the bill to satisfy those senators that really believed there would be "blood in the streets".  This is one of them.  You do know that Nebraskans are nothing but a but of drunks, right?  (So said a few opponents at the time).

There are senators today that don't want to make any changes to benefit us because they hate you.  Seriously.  Just look at the LB289 floor debate and the comments made by Senators Cook and Chambers directed toward gun owners.   Other senators are so ignorant to what we deal with regarding signage and other restrictions it is difficult to get them to support changes. They just don't realize what the law actually is and why a change is necessary.   That's why we try so hard to get in front of them and educate them.  The most effective way to educate a senator is for a constituent to share a personal story about how they have been affected by current law.
