I work at a convenience store and we NEVER close (not even for christmas or any other holiday) and we were told since we were all within 10-20 min walking distance (on a good day i may add) we were expected to show up for work during this storm no matter what no excuses. Shows how much our manager/owner cares about our safety. they werent even there all weekend until sunday afternoon when the weather was a bit better.

food stores,drug stores gas etc is very important to be open but drunks are not a life saving place to be opened. but when the police are asking people to stay off the roads they are looking at safety. how many cars are stuck in snow banks due to trying to get to work? and if a person is killed due to trying to get to the store is it worth it.

Don, the liquor store was not the only store open during weekend storm. Superstore, Sobeys, convenience stores, gas stations, coffee shops were all open. Besides who are you to tell other people they can't have a drink when they want one? One more thing, if you have a job and get paid for it, you also make a profit. Are you doing wrong by making money?

Oak Tree liquor store in Charlottetown. opened just shows how much the lives of staff and islanders means to government = NOTHING. but profit is all that maters. but i guess it shows there is more drunks in ch'town then any where else on PEI as the other liquor stores closed.

your line of thinking is truly bizarre. I don't know if you are simply a troll or a twit, but there were lots of places open as the weather cleared. But that fact would be irrelevant to someone whose sole purpose to come online seems to be to spew vile, negativity, and at times, borderline hatred. I wish your comments would be blocked.

Don't be ridiculous. But I know you can't help it.

I agree with you Don, thinking of the staff is not as important as making a little profit from some individuals that need a drink that bad, that is sad!. I am a drinker and wouldn't expect a liquor store to be open but guess people that are insensitive to the staffs safety or have dinking "issues" and need to get their fix would expect the store to open! The consequences and pressure that are put on a staff members to get to work in unsafe conditions for a small profit is pathetic, greedy and insensitive. Stay off the roads, let the plows do their work and be on the road on if it is emergency, you idiots!!!
Oak tree liquor store is going to be open of course because that is the busiest liquor store on the island and it is a Saturday. It doesn't show that their is more drunks in Charlottetown!. At least they closed the other ones and not opened them all....idiotic comment.
