7 hours agoCan’t speak for Ontario, but I know a few people who’ve worked in convenience stores and gas stations here, and occasionally they have someone come in and test the clerks. A teenager trying to buy cigarettes or alcohol, for example, or someone trying to buy alcohol after 11pm. Most convenience stores close at 11pm, and those that don’t will usually lock the wine racks and beer fridges.
They serve a legitimate purpose, but can be abused like many other things. Making them illegal just makes addiction a crime.
