• Issues with Backdoor Tobacco
A Minnesota Tobacco Sales Compliance Investigator called this past year. It would
appear that Backdoor was selling cigarettes under the minimum price allowed. They
were warned, but when re- inspected, they were once again under priced. A fine was
levied and paid.
Signs were not altered to reflect the cost of the sale price after Backdoor was fined.
State Compliance once again had to come out to have the incorrect signs removed.
• Should a penalty be applied?
Generally, the penalty is not assessed until the license is more than 30 days overdue.
When the applicant was called to ask if he had removed tobacco products from his
shelves, he immediately came to the office to complete the application.
