Once again, convenience was stymied by concern over abuse. A clever idea was over-encumbered by bureaucracy. The Wegman's grocery store chain tried out automated wine vending machines in some of their Pennsylvania stores. Turns out having to scan your ID and then waiting for someone off-site to check the video-feed to confirm your identity isn’t any more convenient than just taking your wine to the checkout. Some day we may catch up with Japan when it comes to the delivery methods for booze.
