The shops in the know will be ready for business on Monday morning. So, something else caused the delay to Tuesday.

Agree with this assessment. Yesterday we saw people in the bottle store getting ready. Directly asked them and they said they opening on Monday. Something must have changed last minute.

I hear you.
I remember how I viewed 2020 in my mind as a child. Flying cars. Great tech. Happy people. Now it's all just taken by greed.
Not that history is a rosey picture.
It just seems like all sensibility is lost in the world. Ethics is not even an associative term to be used any more. No one in power is ethical. Funds and committees need to be created and paid for, just to keep people from being barbarians. It's fkn laughable to say the least.

If you look back the downfall of recent society started right after Y2K but initially it was slow moving and then the avalanche just came crashing down.

The techies got it wrong , the Y2K bug only seem to occur in humans not computers but to be fair we are considered biological computers.

im glad bottle stores are opening up again because now the home brewer suppliers can start bringing their prices down. I still need a grain miller and the prices are ridiculous.
These businesses have been making a killing the last few months

They will already have stock... And find your local corner Cafe... They'll be selling on Monday more than likely.

Now to smoke a few proper brands that I’ve not smoked for over 15 years now as a celebration. (The likes of Ransom Select, Gunston, Chesterfield, Van Rijn, and the likes) Oh if BATSA tries to pull the price increase stunt, will just stick to the dealer rather.

As far as alcohol goes, a few grand more than last time on that to make sure I’ll be stocked up if and when this ban comes back, I won’t be caught with my pants down again.

Sin taxes go up every year from 1st of April, so theoretically we still don't know this year increases.
