   That Star Market mega-complex in Watertown does, also. Great to buy groceries
   and beer at the same time, and pay w/your ATM card.

   It looks like some stupidity reigns here in the Bay State, surprise! Like in
   Illinois, my underage cashier could not ring in my liquor sale, which meant
   she could not swipe it through the scanner. We had to call in a >21 year
   old cashier to perform that one operation. I couldn't even do it. Stupid.

Obviously a lot of them sell beer and wine but is that considered
liquor?  I thought liquor was whiskey, vodka, etc.  Any supermarkets
sell these?
