Yeah, my feelings exactly. Especially on #1. Pretty much every other state I've lived in allows beer/wine sales in grocery stores. If I recall correctly, two states I've lived in (IL & CA) permit hard liquor sales in grocery stores, which I thought was just heavenly. And I found I was actually MORE likely to get carded at grocery stores that packys, since the minimum-wage workers at grocery stores can generally less afford to lose their jobs than the owner of a packy (usually working the register as well) can afford to pay a fine.
