[quote=Anonymous]https://www.reddit.com/r/washingtondc/s/BFYt5s7t2p I work for an alcohol distributor. Part of my job is collect information, sales and otherwise, and push it to the suppliers. August is typically a down month but last weekend was BAD. Orders weds-Friday when most On premise(bars and restaurants) gets their orders show 40% decline vs previous week. The only time I’ve seen that in my 6 years of doing this is weather related. What alarms me is normally we see a lift going into a restaurant weekend (people out early in the week plus the weekend load in). Owners/managers report foot traffic is down and there was a noticeable amount of cancelled reservation last weekend. The major impact is on alcohol sales which represents a significant amount of revenue for a restaurant and everything for a bar. Doesn’t matter the type of venue, area of the city or demographic the account caterers to. Simply put no one wants to drink and walk past dozens of LEO’s.[/quote]
