That implies the following:
-you have a computer
-you have internet
-you have an email address
-you have any idea what ebay is (no seriously...that's not a reasonable assumption to make)
-you have the money to buy THAT suit (oh, and a credit card and a paypal account)
-you have somewhere safe to have it shipped
-you even understand the lingo of suiting enough to what to look for.
The company I currenlty work for recently hired a technician. The role is something we would call technical today but probably 15 years ago would have been the product of a vocational education. Those programs have been eliminated and pushed on companies to train for instead, companies that usually want experience before they will train. This week, our new guy (24 years old, self supporting, has a kid and a house) sent his first email. Obviously not all of these apply to every situation but the level of abstraction required to understand why this makes no sense to people like us isn't easy for most people.
I didn't say it was a good idea, just that there was a market lol. There is actually a pretty significant market for hard to find or out of production sodas.
That being said, everything you noted about legal compliance is likely completely accurate and is the differentiator between existing market and feasible business idea.
Well, to some extent you already proved that there is a market for extending the reach of micro breweries which I would agree is a significant problem. Have you considered starting over using a different (non trademark infringing) website? Then you could even expand and sell other hard to find craft brews.
That being said...I would be very careful about the legalities of what you are doing. A trademark lawsuit sucks, but a visit from the ATF would be far worse.
I understand what you are saying, and it certainly has an element of truth, but I don't think it's as valid as many companies think. The liability exposure occurs in the hiring process not the onboarding process. When they interview these people MULTIPLE times and act (if you use the articles examples) in bizarre ways during that process, the liability and prosecution risk is already there.
It may very well be the reason some companies do these things, but its not going to help them a lick. Hiring incompetence is an obvious sign of what the work environment would likely be.
It seems that most people in this country have just accepted the interview process as a 1 way thing. It's not, it shouldn't be, and the examples of why its broken are readily apparent.
