Well said. It is very troubling knowing that the robbers who robbed the music store in The Avenue, the McDonald's on Hwy. 54, the Ruby Tuesday, the Dollar Store, the tire store (I think you get the picture) are still on the loose while the PTCPD shakes down burger joints.

It makes me sick. Here we are, seeing a spike in crimes (in one of my previous posts I provide data on the rise of crime in PTC), crimes that are very real and a threat to the people who live here, and they're off sending in attractive teens to try and convince their server to serve them alcohol. Talk about misplaced priorities.

WOW....HELLLO!!!!
DO you not realize that the teens that are getting alcohol are probally going to get on their golfcarts and go home. SO it is A HUGE issue. I don't understand why you guys think its not important if teens are getting ALCOHOL!!!

Were they really serving teens or just not checking ids?

"Most of the teens I know have told me they get theirs from their parents stash."

That's exactly what I did when I was a teen and first sampled alcohol, and the very reason we secure the liquor cabinet when our teen has a slumber party. So, lock it up, parents!

Was of something like Beast or PBR or something equally atrocious.

I was like 10 or 11. It was so skanky tasting that I've never been able to enjoy a beer since. But I dig plenty of other adult beverages.

I agree parents need to lock it up and, better yet, set a good example.

Doubtful tho'. Which is more prevalent in PTC: the teen boozing or the teen prescription pill poppin'?

I'm shocked!!!!

If only we could put this kind of energy and manpower into the cart paths and preventing property damage.

First, I need to tell you that it works this way: it only happens when the state or federal officers ask the locals to go along as a signal that they are invited.
Just like the ATF people do for the Sheriff's department on the "drug busts"
Only the state, or usually the feds, have the know how and proof, and organization for such things, unfortunately.

This not to say that complaints didn't bring in the outsiders---obviously the local police have little or no interest in this or maintaining order inside a Fayette business of any kind unless by direct sworn complaint. They usually try to talk you out of a written complaint! (they don't care how many mail-boxes are destroyed or graffiti is performed, or how many cheerleaders are drunk---without a direct complaint.
I used to know a court judge in a town who was hauled home every Friday night by the police instead of arresting him for driving or thumping things, dead drunk. The judge on Monday would sentence others for DUI!

...the "heathen" bars value their license more, and hence are more careful.

Plenty of family-friendly places on the list of those that passed the sting, too.

Good point. I consider Taco Mac a great place for dinner with the family. Good people working there too. Good job Taco Mac PTC.
