. . Other Businesses Get Warnings
FROM PAGE 28 to minors. “They don’t speak English, they don’t ask for ID and they don’t appear to care. I don’t believe that they will card. I don’t believe that if they get scanners they will be used,” she told the BLC. “And I don’t believe that they should continue to have a license because that’s how strongly I feel about it.” The board didn’t go that far, but did levee a hefty fine and warned that further violations would come with even stiffer penalties. Unlike the others, the O.C. Dollar Store at 203 North Philadelphia Ave. in Ocean City did not receive any fine for its sale to minor violation as it was a first offense. However, Smith warned the board that he had heard unfavorable reports about the location through the grapevine and that it was suspected of being an easy spot for underage kids to purchase alcohol. He’s even heard rumors of a secret “password” that could be told to the clerk so they wouldn’t ask for identification. “I know this is a first violation, but this isn’t the first time that they’ve come up on my radar,” said Smith. Mark Cropper, attorney for the licensee, argued that Smith’s testimony should be disregarded by the BLC because it was based only on rumors. Additionally, because the license
has changed hands recently, any old issues the police may have had with the location’s prior operation are irrelevant. The board decided to only issue a letter of reprimand but warned the store that if it’s found to be a hotspot or willing to look the other way for underage alcohol sales, the OCPD would catch them eventually. The final two sale to minor hearings also resulted in letters of reprimand for first time violations at the Assawoman Ale Shop on 52nd Street in Ocean City and Castaways at 12652 Eagle’s Nest Road in Berlin. Both were attributed to employee error and warned to tighten up training and management oversight. In addition to the sale to minor violations, the Paul Revere Smorgasbord at 2nd Street and the Boardwalk in Ocean City was issued a letter of reprimand for a series of four noise violations issued in the same week between lateJune and early-July. Except for the first violation, all of the others occurred between 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., unusual hours for such complaints to be filed. The management has acted to address the complaints and warns bands not to get out of hand no matter the time of day, said attorney Joe More. Besides the letter of reprimand, the license also had its entertainment amended to a cutoff of 11 p.m.
