I really wonder what myself (the dip stick or whatever he called me here)at Harvest could have done differently. We had the same rules as the year before, I never said we would or wouldn’t get pappy though we were surprised with it last year..I listed items and ticket count a week ahead of time. I did not post on the bourbon fb pages, only our store page and in store. We do not keep loyalty points and in a store with so many customers I would love to know how he would have liked me to go and single out those that shop at harvest and those that don’t. Do I turn people away that showed up to camp at 2AM bc they had a different zip code?
We want to share whiskey with locals, but if word gets out we are not changing our ticket count to accommodate. Our parking lot and store is small so we decided as a whole what we are comfortable in hosting. Saying you will bad mouth a store as much as you can for not selling tickets above their ideal head count is a little ridiculous. Would you burn your LSU gear bc tickets sold out before you could get any? The few people at 645 I heard turned away for tickets were done so politely.

Keep up the good work. I hear nothing but positive things about you, and your store

I understand where you coming from having a store as well. We damned if we do or damned if we don’t. A part of me doesn’t even wanna get the heavily allocated items. I wish there was a legit way to keep loyalty points but not really gonna happen. The customer who buys $100 worth of sale items thinks it’s the same as someone spending $100 on regular items. Keep up the good work! We appreciate it here in the Dutchtown area.

Something to think about, have tickets that you hand out to regulars, during the entire or part of the year. That way you can reward frequent shoppers and try to pick up new business.
There is no perfect answer and anyone that thinks they are owed good bottles better be spending serious money in the store. I have given up the chase, I attend a raffle or two to meet up with old friends and have a good time. Bourbon is serious but what we see today is crazy, let me just sit back with a good pour and enjoy the spectacle. It is worth the cost of admission

For what it’s worth, I’m from Houston and would not have heard of your store if not for homeboy’s temper tantrum. I come to BR a dozen-or-so times a year and will now make it a point to come visit your store!

You know you rock. If only you could keep certain customers from hiding bottles from other customers.... 
I don’t shop there as often as I should, but what you’ve done there with the beer and bourbon program is amazing. And no, I didn’t get tickets for the first time since you’ve started doing raffles, but I’m certainly not calling you out, and it’s a shame an ingrate did.
