Armstrong: We immediately supplied all the schedules of the employees and everything that <br />we had that he requested. We gave it to him immediately. He made his determination from <br />there. <br />Smith: Thank you very much. Board Members, any questions? <br />Pawasarat-Losalio: I have a question. How long did it take from the date that you received <br />the violation until all of your staff were able to take the class? <br />Armstrong: Well, we signed up for the class immediately. There wasn't a class that week, so <br />I believe they came the following week for the class. They didn't have a class that week. But <br />the first opening they had, we got in, and we sent them all. <br />Pawasarat-Losalio: Okay, and did you discontinue liquor sales at the time that Sonia was not <br />on duty? <br />Armstrong: We did not discontinue because Sonia worked the entire time. We had her on <br />constantly. She worked the extra hours. It's not like our liquor sales make or break that place. <br />Our sales are so low down there, thirty dollars a day or something. <br />Pawasarat-Losalio: How many employees, do you know? <br />Armstrong: Down there, two, three, four. Four that work the front and we have two that work <br />the back. <br />Pawasarat-Losalio: Okay, thank you. <br />Smith: Any other questions? <br />There were no other questions from the Board Members. <br />Smith: I have a couple of comments. <br />Armstrong: Certainly. <br />Smith: I agree, I thought the 'report was extremely thorough and comprehensive. <br />Armstrong: Yes. <br />Smith: I appreciate your staff being able to respond via email to all the questions for <br />documentation and with schedules and all that. That's exactly what you should be doing. Just <br />a couple suggestions: we're in the "determining the penalty phase" and going through these <br />experiences is a learning experience for yourself and your organization and you always have <br />the opportunity, when you enter this kind of situation, to call the Department to let them know <br />what your circumstances are, ask for suggestions from them. I think one of the things they <br />might have told you was that you could suspend liquor sales during that period, but still stay <br />open and sell your products in your business. <br />FEBRUARY 20, 2020 -LIQUOR ADJUDICATION BOARD MINUTES 5 <br />
