We do
No doubt about that. But, the Blue Laws here are slowly but surely dropping away, particularly the whole thing about not being able to get a beer on Sundays in certain areas, unless you join the eaterie's "club" for $2...then it's OK for the place to sell you a beer with your Taco. There are still "dry counties" here, and the people in those counties want it that way...or at least the ones who vote...my only issue with that is that those county governments still get tax money from the sale of booze in the other counties, because it's all controlled by the state here, and the state is going to get their "sin taxes". Hell, they even tax food here. One of the most regressive tax structures in the whole country. If you want to be dry...fine...but no tax revenue should go to your county from "sin tax". They'd be singing from a different hymm book if that was the case.... On top of all that, the people who really want to buy booze on Sunday just drive down the road a few miles to the next county, get what they want, and bring it back home...or plan ahead on Saturday.
Though it's not illegal to sell a car or bike here on Sunday, most car dealerships are closed, which is a good thing for the employees, as they at least get one weekend day off with their families. But, both HD dealerships here in B'ham are open for business on Sunday.
The whole thing is just silly to me...let people buy whatever they want, wherever they want, whenever they want, and leave it up to the owner of the business as to what days of the week they want to be open or closed. Then people can adapt accordingly. Pitts off...
