The clerks always sold to whoever came in. This is a no-brainer. Of course it makes sense. It makes sense, and I'm sure it will be adopted eventually. It used to close at 9 p.m., but now Vons is open 24 hours and is a giant liquor store at night.
People stop there to buy their beer.
They drive down the alley, stop, and urinate. If you live in the area, you get to watch. This is a constant occurrence. There should be a rule in residential areas that liquor stores cannot be open after 10 p.m. That would solve most of these problems. Closing a liquor store in an area that doesn't have any other store means that there will be no store in that area.
