After hearing from a liquor distributor and the director of the Missouri Grocers Association along with several local small-business owners Monday night, the Joplin City Council rejected a ban of small liquor bottles called 'nips'' or 'shooters.' Business owner Jon Buck, representing a nonprofit group called Higher Society, proposed the ban last month. He said the group has picked up thousands of the small bottles as members of the organization clean litter on public properties as a volunteer effort.
