Up until only a few months ago, liquor could not be purchased on Sundays in Tuscaloosa. The matter was recently put to the local voters, and all that has now changed. However, there are only certain hours on Sundays when you can buy beer and wine in the local grocery stores.
Here is a shot I took a few weeks ago, in a local Publix. I took this shot, because I found the message a bit confusing. Of course I understand what the sign is SUPPOSED to be saying, but if you look at it closely, read it precisely as it is written, you might come to the conclusion that you have a small nine and a half hour window EACH WEEK for stocking up on your booze!
Might I suggest, after the big words “BY LAW,” something along the lines of: On Sundays, beer & wine sold only between…” I don’t think that would be quite as confusing.
Okay, maybe I’m being a bit of a Grammar Nazi. Can’t help it. This sign is just poorly worded. Of course, this is by no means the most poorly worded sign I have ever seen. It’s just the most recent.
