An ongoing problem in LCBO locations all across Ontario is that distilleries and breweries are offering freebees such as sporting event tickets, concerts and other entertainment for the store to put their product on the shelves. The Ontario liquor board has been allowing there employees to accept these for years. Employees report that they get at least one freebee a month, others as much as once a week. The board has not reported any face value of these freebees, nor made any estimates. Agencies said that these freebees are good for a company to improve their employee satisfaction and to promote a positive business relationship. A total 268 suppliers were reported to been giving away freebees to the employees. Ontario MPP's are also prohibiting these tickets from entering employees hands under the Members' Integrity Act.I think that these tickets should be still available to the employees. Think about it, if you aren't paying anything and your employees are getting free tickets from another company why wouldn't you want this happening. It’s a good thing as far as I am concerned, the employees are getting rewarded with out the LCBO paying for anything. This also improves the relation between these businesses because they both benefit. The LCBO has allowed this to happen for years and I do not see a valid reason to stop this from happening. I think that this is not a logical decision, there are not many negatives, if any, and there are so many things on why this is a good thing for the LCBO.
