Great big giant wine vending machine.
I guess this is something new in Pennsylvania, something to get around our liquor laws. I saw this monstrosity at the Giant grocery store here in Washington, Pa.
While I was there, I also saw that they have a "cafe" that's actually a six-pack store. See, we don't have wine or beer or anything like that in grocery stores. You can get beer at bars and six-pack stores and beer distributors, but the only place you can get wine or liquor are at the State Stores. They used to all be owned by the state, hence the name. Now they've privatized and they're all called "Wine and Spirits" stores. I have no idea how this thing works, but it's only turned on from 9 am to 9 pm. It appears you have to pass a breathalyzer test. I'm guessing you use your driver's license and someone mans the machine. If anyone knows how these things work, clue me in, will ya? Oh, on top of it's already incredible gnarliness, it has 3 big flatscreens on top of it. Bear with me while I post the pics, I'm using my phone...
