I was at a moderately large gas station today. (The type with a walk in beer section) and the Bud folks were loading in product and so were the Coors folks. (Both trucks were there)

I asked the Bud guys if they had seen sales drop or if that was all bullshit. Understandably, they gave me a look of “I don’t want to deal with this shit anymore…”. And said “nope, we have not noticed anything.”  I thanked them and moved on. Outside I asked the Coors folks if they had seen a change and they were far more enthusiastic about it “oh hell yeah, we are selling a lot more all over town.”  

That’s my cool story bro for today. I did think it was interesting, and again, it was a hell of a rough look from the Bud guys when I asked. My guess is not only does everyone ask but some folks are probably real assholes to them.

I have sympathy for the distributors and the rank & file BUD workers.  They are just trying to do a job.

BUD management, AB-InBev management, and shareholders?  I am enjoying my BUD short.

Went to a minor league baseball game this past weekend.  We had a pavilion to ourselves with drink tickets.  Not a single Bud/Bud Light available.  Only beer in the cooler available to buy with tickets was Miller Lite.  You'd think they'd dump the Bud on corporate smucks out on a freebee game.

It probably has already been liquidated or sent back, and they're not buying more just to take another huge loss.

Make more money selling what people will actually buy.   Muhahaha.

Wally world yesterday I saw stacks of bud light in the cooler. others were nearly empty. Two stacks of Bud light and one had two cases gone off it. I assumed it is a marketing ploy to appear as if people are buying your shitty tasting, tranny fluid.

You really think the guy, who works for a 3rd party distributor, gives two shits about the politics of the brewery he is delivering to a random gas station? He has literally no affiliation. Also guys like you who randomly interject you opinions and beliefs into other people's lives who going about their business are fucking awful. "Hey I see you are getting that grape juice, did you know that was the same grape juice that guy who kidnapped those girls fed them!" Who fucking does shit like that.

ETA to clarify. Beer distribution legally has to go through a 3rd party. The guys you were talking to are not bud or coors employees.

If it’s like the soda and chip’s delivery drivers they technically have a “commission” sales job.  If so their paycheck is taking a brutal ass tearing anal prison rape.

Which I don’t get, since they aren’t standing outside the cooler pitching the product to customers as they walk by.

He absolutely does care. The distributor makes money on volume. Merchandisers and truck drivers bonus is based on volume. As is the salesman's.
Shelf cap is set by volume of sales as well. No sales = less shelf cap.

I'm quite light. My point is you, random 1 of 1000s customers at a gas station, decided today was the day to raise some social discord with this a random guy in the middle of a shift of unloading boxes in shitty gas stations.

Beer distributors do not “swap products” and “run trucks, not products”. They aren’t magically paid to send trucks out every day to deliver, they make money slinging products out of those trucks. The distributors are independent franchise owners and Transheuser Bush has absolutely screwed these folks over.

So the guy driving an AB truck and wearing an AB shirt has no affiliation with AB?

Edit: and isn’t their stranglehold on the market due in part to their control of the distribution?

Serious question.  My wife isn’t/wasn’t in the industry, but I did watch Beer Wars so I feel like I’m just as much an expert.
