Pfeh. Keep your puritanism away from me. - Greg - 11-30-2009
Just came back from Target, where the customer behind us in line wanted to buy a six-pack of beer. He was told that he could not, because no alcohol sales are allowed after 8:00 PM on Sundays.

Hey, quitcherbitchin. In PA you can't buy alcohol any where, any time on a Sunday. The town I lived in when I was very small was totally dry, day in and day out. I believe it still may be. So things could be worse!
EDIT: I just checked and it appears that they've changed the law and you can buy alcohol in Pennsy on a Sunday in bars and restaurants. My bad.

No Sunday sales at all here, but it's not the puritans that object. There was a ballot drive this past summer to
open up to Sunday sales to liquor stores & groceries (restaurant sales are allowed)
The biggest lobby to block it came from package store owners
It would have meant that they would have to staff stores on Sundays to keep their piece of the market. It would
also allowed groceries to sell cold carry out, which is not currently allowed. Only a package store can sell cold.

That's why they invented South Jersey.

Not all of it. The dry town I referred to was in South Jersey.

You live in PA $tevie? I knew there must be something we have in common.

Not in PA, just close by.

The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms should be the name of a convenience store. Not a government agency.

y'all probably don't remember Blue Laws
And you could buy a sixpack of beer in a bar on Sunday in PA, at least starting in the 1980's when I lived there. PA always cracked me up. In order to 'control' alcohol consumption, you could ONLY buy beer at a beer/wine store in case or keg quantities.

See my post above - we still have several remainders of them in place here.
Like I stated - biggest opponents of "reform" is not the religious but those that
stand to lose income by having to compete.
Another hold over are the auto dealers, which remain closed on Sundays too. This one I am
grateful for because it is the one day a week I can window shop without being bothered.
