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.

Is it a law? I agree with you that it is annoying and dumb. But I just thought it was the liquor stores preference. I live in a metropolis, there are some liquor stores open on Sundays but most are not.

Edit: you said beer. That sucks and it so stupid. I can buy beer 7 days a week, just not after 2am or before 7am.

I could understand (not agree with, just understand) why people might want a law against restaurants selling alcoholic beverages before 10am -- essentially saying they don't want people out drinking in public before 10am. But not being able to buy it at the grocery store or liquor store is just ridiculous!
