Sunday Shopping! Login/Join

Just read about a mall being fined because they are open for business on Sundays and selling everything??

I remember in Texas in 1980's where one could not buy pots and pans on Sunday!

So called blue laws were common in the South back in the 50’s, 60’s and early 70’s. Almost no businesses were open on Sunday. Thankfully that bullshit is long gone in most states and counties . When I was a kid, my father allowed no hunting or fishing on Sunday. It was God’s day of rest. That changed to after I went off to college in 1966. Amazing contrast to today…

When I lived in Ohio, there was a law against hunting on Sunday. I quit wrestling and football in school because Saturday was the only day I could hunt.

My choice was made easier by a lack of ability in either sport.

I was shocked when we went shopping in Houston, Texas in the 80's.

We bought some groceries and some pots to cook in.

It was Sunday.

They let us buy the groceries, but not the pots!!

Part of the religious tyranny of the recent past, which some long to return to.

Yep, we rolled back almost all the "blue laws" in about 1984-86 in Texas, except for some booze related ones.

You couldn't buy clothes on Sunday, which is what started the whole puah

Still can't buy liquor in Texas on Sundays. Up until 2021, beer or wine wasn't for sale until noon. 10 am now. You can buy beer or wine before church instead of after.

Bizarre.

Some farmers still don’t work on Sundays. Particularly Amish and Mennonite. Find it funny when yall determine when someone takes a day off work as tyranny. You’ve got more opinions than sense.

No one cares if you take a day off on Sunday, the complaint is when the government shuts down business on Sunday.

Nobody is suggesting that Chic-Filla be forced to be open 7 days a week.

Are you really that dumb or just in support of anything the religious right supports?

In Canada, in the late sixties, sunday shopping was largely unheard of. In Idaho, at the same time, it was more common. The Americanization of Canada soon had everything leveled out. I can't say whether that was good or bad. My suspicion is that the "day of rest" was a good thing and we have gained little from its demise. Regards, Bill.
