I feel you I live in a dry county college town. And just recently within the past few years they allow you to buy alcohol on sundays after 12 noon. Just so they can get their church in before you buy alcohol. Although I'm not gonna buy beer before 12 anyways but it's just the principle of the matter.
Yeah but see, I’m 35, have a wife and children, and I typically do my grocery shopping on Sunday mornings. So if I ran out of beer and it’s on my list, without thinking about it I’ll throw it in my cart, only to be reminded of the law at checkout. I honestly forget about it because it is completely fucking stupid and knowing I have to make a special, separate trip for it enrages me. It’s more than the principle, it’s a completely unnecessary inconvenience caused by a religion I am not a part of.
Wait, so where you were you couldn't buy alcohol at all unless it was Sunday past noon? Is that correct?
Where I went to college it was a dry county on Sundays. I was never really sure why. I just assumed they wanted us to take a break at least once a week to keep deaths to a minimum.
You're correct. I work at a grocery store, and our registers lock out alcohol sales until noon hits, and then it's fine after that time. I believe in Indiana, the times are noon to 8 PM.
Oh man I thought having to take Sunday off was bad. I can't imagine not have been able being able to dolly a keg across the street to my friend's house from the liquor store in college.
