Liquor stores had the same argument.
But, as I understand it, a difference is that some church groups, and groups which sought to limit excessive alcohol consumption, have (or had) also been in support of laws against selling liquor on Sundays.
While this is less of a thing with the internet, it is nice to have a day where you can walk around on car lots without getting bombarded by salespeople.
Goes to show how different places are- the first thing I thought was ’ How do you walk around the lot if the dealership is closed?"
For me, Sunday has always been the day to go car shopping. Take some notes then stop back during the week.
I’m not sure I understand, it’s no different than walking around a parking lot.
“I’m just browsing. I’ll come inside if I have any questions or find anything I’m interested in”
I think bars used to be closed on election day too.
Where I live, the cars are either inside a building or inside a locked, fenced lot - so you can’t walk around on the lot, you can only walk past the front of the lot or building and won’t usually be able to see much from there.
Yet, somehow Chick-fil-A has made the business decision of being closed on Sundays without forcing other fast food places to do the same.
? That’s really an opposite thing. Chick-fil-A has decided to give up a day of revenue, which helps all the other restaurants. One car dealership being open on Sunday means they sell all of the cars purchased that day. Assuming the law is changed to allow Sunday sales, any dealer who wants to give up that potential revenue is free to do so.
Which works fine, until it happens a few minutes later when the next person spots you.
'round here, that’s the the case. They’re either in an entirely open parking lot or they have stanchions around the perimeter, presumably so you can’t tow/drive a car out of the lot after hours.
It’s also worthy of note that if Chick-fil-A is closed today, I could get something else and then go there tomorrow. If my local Honda dealership is closed today and I go to a different one, it’s likely going to be years before I’m back (at least to buy a car).
As has C-f-A.
I can answer this. Citrus fruit can carry many diseases (citrus canker being one of them). It’s not that Canada has a citrus industry, but Canada may not have the same restrictions on importing citrus that the US does and many other citrus producing countries are rampant with these diseases, but will export the fruit anyway. The citrus industry in Florida is in serious decline (and commercial key lime groves have been all but wiped out) due to a combination of canker (which causes the land to be left fallow for several years and then more years until productive) and rising land prices (non-producing land is worth a lot of money, why replant?).
I’m surprised no one has mentioned yet that California is the only state in the US that prohibits pet ferrets.
They are also illegal in Hawaii.
Didn’t know that. Thanks. I still don’t think that’s totally reasonable, given that 48 other states don’t seem to have huge issues created by pet ferrets.
FYI also not legal in NYC and Washington DC although they are cities, not states
Nevada: Operating a brothel…without a license.
Pet skunks are legal in only a handful of states.
I actually got to touch one once - a coworker had just gotten a skunk as a pet (de-stunk, of course!) and brought it in to show it off - this was in Pennsylvania, one of that handful of states.
