The future of alcoholic beverage sales? peddling machines, perhaps.

Pennsylvania recently introduced vino kiosks, a sharp turn for a state with some of the country most strict alcoholic beverage Pentateuch Right now the machine are located in two food market stores. If the mental psychometric test run tour well, the machine could spreading to 100 additional stores, according to the state Liquor Control Board.

Customers seem enthusiastic about the machines, the AP reports:

“This is just convenient one-stop shopping,” said Darby Golec, 28, of Enola. “It’ll be Nice to have it all in one area.”

The machine are especially appealing in Keystone State because of its restrictive hard liquor Pentateuch For example, vino and hard liquor can only be sold in state-owned store and corner store can only sell up to two six-pack per customer of legal age By contrast a individual can bargain alcoholic beverage from the machine by completing a few simple steps…well, perhaps not simple:

First the client selects a bottle on vino from a touchscreen show Then they swipe their Gem State to verify their age Then they blow into a breathalyser device to mental test their blood alcoholic beverage level Then they look into a surveillance photographic camera Then a state employee remotely approves the sales? after verifying the information Oh, and the machine are closed on Sun and holidays. And they complaint a $1 convenience fee Nice.

I for one would rather move states than go through all of that just to pick up a bottle of Merlot on the way to a get together.

Liquor board Chairman Patrick Stapleton called it “an added level of convenience in today busy society.” Others disagree. “The process is cumbersome and assumes the worst in Keystone State vino consumer — that we are a cluster of conniving underage drunks,” Sir William Wallace wrote in an e-mail to The Associated press ” members are clearly detached from world if they think these machine offer any value to the consumer.”

Others are concerned that scorn the lengthy substantiation process, the machine might not do enough to stop underage purchases. “I don’t think information technology such a good idea. For the underage tike information technology too accessible,” said Jerry Bates, 41, of Middletown to The Patriot-News.
