Meanwhile, persons at the supermarket at the time of this newspaper’s visit queried the sudden disappearance of the products, with some questioning the impact on the supermarket’s reputation.

“This place has always had a good selection of alcohol,” remarked one customer. “However, I believe that this search was necessary.”
