"...and the potential downside is God knows what..." You my friend will never get my business again. If you don't let people in based on what they are portrayed on in a tv show, then you should perform background checks on every patron that comes in. There is a park around the corner where drug deals go on 24/7, and I've seen those people go in that store and come out with liquor. You really need a reality check pal. A real reality check, not an MTV one.

He should be. Word of mouth is the best publicity. Be it good or bad. I know at least a dozen people that were very regular customers that will never go there again. If he thinks his little antics will gain him more customers than he will lose, he is in for a big surprise. But hey, he still owns Liberty Harbor and the Beer Garden. Good thing that has a very upscale clientele.

Just venting, I love this thread, also I'm always available for strategic marketing freelancing gigs ;) ok be kind, just hanging out!

one more thing, I love this wine store, I hope people keep going there. You can pop in, try great wines, and they are super chatting and fun, not like some other "judgy" wine stores around town that look at you funny if you buy wine and vodka at the same time.

Absolutely correct. This effete snob will let you stand at the counter with your thumb up your *** waiting to check out if he's discussing a wine with another patron. After this crap, I'm done with that place too. Also, I just discovered that the little liquor store on Grove north of Newark has MUCH better prices.

My girlfriend and I said the same thing. It's one thing to refuse camera crews, but it's another to refuse an individual. This is Jersey City, NOT the segregated SOUTH!! I'll walk a few extra blocks to get a bottle of wine.

What a stupid article. And the store isn't next door, at, but about the same distance from three other liquor stores.

I'm with MrJohnson, BeachGuy and ProgressJC on this one. To further cite the article "TMZ spoke to the GM at the wine shop ... who tells us, "Even if Jwoww shows up at our front door she will not be let in." He adds, "The only thing they are good for is ridicule and amusement. " I mean, seriously, what's with the shop owner's holier than thou attitude? If he put up a sign that said "No Camera Crews" that would be one thing (because that could disrupt his business), but to actually ban someone based on what he's seen on TV and turn away the business is just plain silly. Oh, and what is with the comment about "some other judgy (?) wine stores around town that look at you funny if you buy wine and vodka at the same time." huh? That's a new one to me. I've bought wine in stores in Jersey City and elsewhere, never had anything remotely like that happen, they're all just happy to make a sale and take my money. If anything, the wine store that chooses to ban Snooki and Jwoww is the one being "judgy", whatever the hell that means.

Seriously. Like the show or not, anyone who puts a sign in their window telling an individual to stay away just looks like a real ass, and it doesn't do Jersey City any favors, either. This douchey move says a lot more about the liquor store owner than it does about the star of a cable reality show.

I'm boycotting the bars and stores that ban Snooki and JWoww.
Always wanted to try Pint anyway.

Two more JJ pieces?.
Snooki, JWoww banned from another downtown Jersey City location http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... ww_banned_from_anoth.html Cory Booker: 'Jersey Shore' stars will not be snookin' for love in Newark http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012 ... ore_girls.html#incart_hbx *** *** Gives me douche chills?I can see a business quietly saying to 495 we don?t want the filming in our store and end it. But to talk to the press about it and put up signs. How douchey! (I love that that 70's word ) *** *** Buy the JJ...wow!

If I put "no Snookie" signs up in Hamilton Park will that keep you overly sensitive d-bags out? How about the PATH train? This could really ease my commute!!

conversely, can we put "welcome snooki!" ads on the top of jclist? Maybe that will keep the moral police off this forum so that the rest of us can engage in a higher standard of conversation than "SNOOKI SMUSH - SNOOKI BAD!"

His banning of Snooki (I'm not a fan of Jersey Shore) just reinforces my opinion of the establishment already. When they first opened, I bought a fairly expensive bottle of wine (upwards of $50) that I was not charged for - it was amongst a large number of items. New employees, new register, etc...I felt bad and walked back about 7 blocks back to the store and let them know what happened. Paid for my wine and left
Not even a Thank You. He barely even made eye contact. Went back many times after that and always felt unwelcomed for some reason. Thankfully, the farily new liquor store on Grove (Manilla) north of the Path Station has a great selection, reasonable prices and NICE employees.

Newark, NJ doesn't welcome them and we do?
one of the most dangerous cities in the US says no to them and we say yes? I think everyone here will agree that Newark needs much more development than jersey city and they say no to them... Does that mean anything to some of you? Also, if a half drunken, half naked, stumbling idiot came into your store and drove away your customers - you have every right to kick them out. Actually, it would be COMMON SENSE. What's the difference between my hypothetical "customer" and snooki and jwwow? I would rather have my hypothetical person take care of my children. In any case, whichever store they "work in", I will personally start a boycott of the store. And try to gather community support. Anyone who supports this trash wants a JC that is not conducive to development, business, and families.

The difference is you are trying to keep Snooki and J-Woww out of your hypothetical store before they have even done anything. If they step foot in your store and cause a nuisance, sure kick them out. But to keep someone out because they've looked like an idiot on TV several times on a reality show is a little ridiculous. I hate to defend S&J but I think those who think this is awful are being a little too judgmental. They are on a reality show where the producers put them in a situations where they will get really drunk, and then pick and choose what footage to air. I'm sure if a camera followed you around for two months and producers needed to pick out some clips for a TV show you wouldn't looks so great either.

"He said because Newark?s emergency personnel would likely be called to mitigate any incidents involving Snooki and JWoww, the risk to Newark residents was just too great."I hope you can appreciate that my first priority is the safety and well-being of citizens and visitors," the mayor wrote."
Newark is practically Camden. And if Manhattan wasn't as close as it is, Newark WOULD BE Camden. Who's he kidding? Yeah there might be incidents involving these two. But never mind the daily shootings, muggings, car thefts, blatant open drug use on the streets. It really does sound like he's more embarrassed for Newark rather than "protecting" it. Putz

I see some shrewd business owners in JC are cashing in on all the free publicity. They made TMZ and don't even have to deal with the show production.

No, it doesn't. I don't think either cast member has any desire to go to Newark anyway, nor do I think MTV would even be remotely interested in airing a reality show in Newark and nor would 495 Productions ever even think of approaching the city of Newark about this. Newark may need more development than Jersey City, but it is beyond any kind of help that a reality show could give it. I have no idea what could be done to help it, other than the NJPAC and Prudential Center being built that have resulted in a few cafes and restaurants opening nearby. Comparing Newark's attitude to Jersey City's about this is almost like comparing apples and oranges. Newark would never have had a horse in this race anyway. I'm certain that both the show's producers and cast have an "oh well" mentality with regards to them being banned in Newark. As for a store owner not wanting a half-drunk and half-naked idiot in your store and driving away customers, you are absolutely right about that. However, who says that they are going to be half-drunk and half-naked all the time. You are judging them based on what you've seen on a reality show, which airs exactly 30 minutes per week of cameras following them. What about the other 167 1/2 hours in the week? Not defending these people by any stretch of the imagination but at the end of the day, they are people and should have the right to shop and patronize where they want (it doesn't give them the right to act like idiots at a place of business but who says they are going to do that just because they walked in?). As for organizing a boycott of whatever store they work in, go right ahead. But you'd better move quickly with that because the show will only be filming here for six weeks and then they are gone. Also, don't you have better things to do anyway? I know I do.
