Restaurant Kicks ALEC member Diageo to the Curb

Gotta love this local business!!  Kicks ALEC member Diageo to the Curb!!!
This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase #DumpALEC!!!! 


This local restaurant kicked ALEC Board Member Diageo to the curb - BECAUSE OF ALEC.

Would be nice if other businesses would follow – it would make a huge impact to the free market bottom line of Diageo.

This takes the concept of the "free-market" to a whole new level, baby. 
This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase #DumpALEC!!!!

This local restaurant has chosen to NOT carry or serve any products supplied by Diageo – because Diageo is affiliated with ALEC.

We have fired Diageo and are discounting any left over items up to 50% off. We want them gone.

Say No To: Smirnoff, Guinness, Dom Pérignon, Johnnie Walker, Baileys, Tanqueray & All Diageo Products

Where is my favorite Scotch and Vodka at Aroma Thyme?
Sorry if we do not carry your favorite wine, beer or spirit brand at Aroma Thyme. We do stock over 200 craft beers, 300 wines and 250 spirits of mostly independents.

We feel we have a good reason for not supporting some of the most popular brands. In our most recent campaign we have eliminated all Diageo brands. Diageo is massive company that has a terrible reputation among other producers, suppliers and employees. There is enough business for everyone without being a bully.

The main reason that Diageo is no longer at Aroma Thyme.

Diageo is a corporate board member of ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council). In a nutshell, these are the companies that write a good portion of our legislation.We really need to applaud this business.
