What is different about running a store in New York?
Mixed cases drive weekends
Twelve-bottle mixed cases with a case discount are a New York habit. Mix-and-match rules apply it at the counter without a manager.
Deposits on the containers you do sell
New York's bottle bill puts a 5¢ deposit on beer, soda and water containers, not on wine or liquor bottles. If you sell mixers or water, add the deposit to those units only.
