It’s uncle Obama. They give the tabs to charity, then claim the beer as a charitable donation and deduct it from their taxes. So technically we’re buying OP his beer. ---

> [@ryan89w](#): > > Why would the guys in the back just have their own personal kegs at the store? makes no sense. Guy in the back is in charge of recieving… people up front normally have no clue about inventory. This holds true to every grocery store… cashiers and clerks are idiots compared to receiving and stock-boys. ---

Wouldnt the people up front be in charge of ordering? Therefor they would know if the store receives shipments of kegs. Also kegs should be kept cold and i’d imagine the only spot they would fit would be the beer cooler. ---

I’ve heard successes with Consumer’s matching this if you tell them wegmans’ does it. I know for a fact it worked for my buddy in May. Not sure which location it was though. If you go around to all of them you’re bound to find the one that does it. ---
