Catlady,
I have a question - I've already sent it to the current president of the B&B Assn but wanted to pick your brains as well.
There is an innkeeper in a small town in Virginia that like me works out of the inn during the week.
Like me she has a B&B ABC license, and when she was given it the agent knew she worked outside the business during the week.
She had a call this past week from her NEW agent. When she got to the inn he issued her a warning.
He says that when a B&B has an ABC license the innkeeper must be on the premises 24/7 when there is a registered guest there (he saw a car outside the inn with a New York license)
None of us on the other chat board can ever recall being told this and one of them has had the license for 10 years - one of the first ones issued.
I believe that this new agent does not know the difference between a regular ABC license, where an ABC manager must always be on duty, and a B&B license.
We also can find nothing on the online regulations indicating that this agent is correct.
When would the innkeeper do their shopping when booked? How would I be running my tours? I'd have to force all my guests to book the tours as well as the rooms.
I think this is another inspector that does not know their stuff. Your opinion?
