"In all fairness, each of these liquor stores has its main store. Obviously, if there's a Pick'n Pay, chances are there will be a Pick'n Pay liquor. It's just business. unlike if all the liquor shops were pick n pay liquor. then it would be disturbing. I don't know if I'm making sense."

IAm added:

"😭Growing up, I only thought about the phrase "something's in the water" as related to actual access to water. I'm 30, and something's in the water, everywhere😭😂. Full circle, I think."
