These Sunday blue laws seem doubly frustrating because more often than not, until the 8 hour workday laws really began to come into effect 1920s, most people worked 6 days a week, Monday through Saturday, usually 10-16 hours a day. This made it almost impossible to find time to shop during the week, leaving Sunday the only day for errands: but on Sunday everything was closed.
