They replaced the broken bottles. It was their fault because they put
the bottles in the bag. When I questioned whether the bag was strong
enough for that many bottles they assured me that it was. As it turned
out, it was not. I was about halfway up the sidewalk to my house when
the bag tore open and several bottles hit the cement and broke.

Those plastic bags were a short lived venture for the LCBO.
