I don't want Sunday shopping. I spend a lot of time in areas of Europe where
stores close early afternoon on Saturday and are not open on Sunday at all.
No grocery stores..limited regulated drug stores...and most gas stations are
allowed to be open and restaurants if they choose. It seems to create a very
nice ambience on Sundays. Life seems slower and more relaxed even in a big
city. This appeals to me. So..for purely selfish reasons I will continue to
oppose Sunday shopping.
