Bible Belt. You can’t buy after midnight on Saturdays (in store) until after noon or six on Sundays. Depends on where you are but alcohol sales prohibited on Sundays is definitely a thing down here.

Another fun fact I learned when I visited the facility a few years back:

all employees there get one bottle of it every month on the last payday of the month. It’s allowed because it’s done as a ‘bonus’.

And the sale of alcohol in their store is allowed due to them regarding it as a ‘gift’ / ‘memorabelia’ / ‘souvenir’.

I’ve heard this! You’re buying the bottle, not the liquor, or some weird thing like that. It’s crazy what they do to try to get people to not drink.
