If they aren’t selling their inventory then they are just taking a loss throwing it in the garbage? Brilliant.
Doubtful, it's probably in storage or being sent back to warehouses. They're likely betting on Orange Foolius folding in a couple weeks.
No reason to take a loss when it's already paid for. Storing it will hurt the US more than destroying it then reordering a month from now.
I’m pretty sure the LCBO sells on consignment. They’ll just ship it all back.
It’s one of the benefits of being the largest single booze purchaser in the world.
Even better!
Yep, this is it. The LCBO hasn't bought any of it. It's sold on consignment, so the producer only gets paid once it sells. They're not losing any money here, and they're not throwing it out.
