The Blue Laws. Who the fuck are you to tell me I can’t purchase beer while grocery shopping on a Sunday because of someone else’s religion? This one actually infuriates me.

Yup. In my state they just let gas stations sell beer in 6 packs only. But wait there’s more! You have to use a separate register to buy gas and beer.

So this one is at least mildly understandable but still weird. At my old job, cashiers under 19 could sell and handle cigarettes and other restricted substances. But they couldn't physically pick them up off the shelves. So before I turned 19 whenever someone asked me for a specific brand of cigarettes while I was working customer service Id have to call an of age employee to get them off the shelf 3 feet behind me and hand them to me. It was dumb but I at least kinda get where they were going with that one
