Had? That's cute. Come to Indiana. Liquor stores aren't open on Sundays here as it's illegal for then to sell alcohol on the sabbath. Why the fuck did I move back.


Liquor stores often fight laws allowing sales on sundays. When the stores are closed on sundays everyone just purchases what they need during the rest of the week. So they don't lose sales & have reduced costs - no staff on sunday.

In MA they did their best to stop it, but luckily people voted for freedom :P


The Sabbath is on Saturday; ask any Jew or Seventh-day Adventist. Most Christians observe a day of rest on Sunday.


I know the provenance is Jewish, but it's used for Sunday here as well.
