As she looks back on the last year,<br />
Vinnin Liquors President Angela Ansara<br />
said the business is recovering from the<br />
pandemic, but there is still a need for<br />
quality employees.<br />
"We're still recovering a little bit, but<br />
it's still hard to find the employees who<br />
want to work because of the pandemic,”<br />
she said. “A good employee would be<br />
someone self-motivated, eager to learn, ask<br />
questions and show up on time. What we<br />
ask for is pretty simple.”<br />
During the early period of the<br />
pandemic, Ansara said alcohol demands<br />
were high, leading to more deliveries in<br />
Swampscott and other communities such<br />
as Salem, Beverly and even Boston.<br />
“We have delivery to go anywhere<br />
in Massachusetts,” Ansara said. “If it's<br />
too far out, we will ship it. If it's a big<br />
event, we will ship it. We go to places like<br />
