If, for religious reasons, you think buying alcohol on Sunday is wrong--then don't buy it.

The guild genuinely has no position. Personally, it's a question of what annoys me most, and preachers usually win that coin toss.

If you're not open during business hours (Sunday or otherwise) that other restaurants, bars or stores are open...then don't be surprised when customers go elsewhere. A free marketplace should be just that....Free. Myself, I love to shop local but when local ain't around....Sunday sales should happen regardless of who it hurts or doesn't hurt.<br /><br />NA Confidential (Roger): You're going to win in the end. I made this same argument for years from the perspective that Indy-centric politicians never see money streaming across state lines on Sunday. My private opinion is that the small package guys who matter (i.e., the ones who have diversified into product lines and thought processes that big boys don't grasp because those lines and thoughts are absent payola as usual) will be fine. I hate giving an inch to chain think. In the end, I probably detest insidious religious interference even more.The New Albanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757531658514051905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097125.post-5915098007732448692013-01-23T09:35:04.482-05:002013-01-23T09:35:04.482-05:00Using the economic reasoning of the "independ...Using the economic reasoning of the "independent" liquor store, Home Depot, Lowes, Tractor Supply, Rural King, Walmart, Target, etc ought to be banned from selling on Sunday, too. <br /><br />I understand the anti chain mantra but that ain't the way to to do it. Make your case for customers to patronize your business. Don't ask the the government to do use "bans". Remember prohibition?Iamhoosierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15010741592130752752noreply@blogger.com
