You are blessed with an honest liquor dealer. My favorite store across the river in Bellevue, KY would have done the same.
Our local Kroger manager, on the other hand, would have simply said, "thank you" and changed the sign. They actually did that to me once with some produce. I don't shop at that store anymore (Tylersville, for any West Chesterians out there), but I do make it a point to suggest better shopping choices for customers I know. On one hand, I've cost that particular Kroger at least one customer a month for about a year and half now. That adds up to a lot of bucks, especially since most of them are loyal Kroger customers who spend the same amount at other nearby Krogers, thus making this manager look especially bad by comparison to his peers. In fact, by now he may have been transferred to a more low-rent branch for all I know. Except that, on the other hand, I notice the misleading sign was back in place the next day... and is still there.
Treasure your liquor store manager and make a point to send customers his way. And tell him you're doing it and that his response to the sign error is why.
