The same thing happens at the TW's in my area as well. 

 

Part if this is because some of the employees and managers are part of this extensive "notification network".

Technically the employees and managers are not allowed to purchase the allocated items until they've been sitting on the shelf for X time duration (I think it used to be 24 hrs, but that may have changed).  So something comes in that they want (because some of those guys/gals are into whiskey too), and they tell their friends/relatives/etc. to show up and grab one or two bottles.

 

If you've ever wondered how all these people knew to line up/show up on certain days and times, it's pretty self explanatory.

Aside from confiscating the employees mobile devices when they clock in, I'm not sure how you would stop it.

Total Wine sucks

That was my impression several years ago. I objected to their ads offering outstanding bourbons at outstanding prices--except they never actually had them in stock even at 9:00 on the day the sale started. And their employees would recommend some cats and dogs as "just as good as Pappy." More recently, however, I go in not expecting to get what's at the top of my list but I can usually find desirable bourbons at desirable prices. But, then, I live in Ohio where the state gets to decide what constitutes a desirable bourbon and a desirable price.  So, TW in other states looks pretty good in comparison.

I just shuddered to the bone reading this...
