quote:Welcome to the 1950's Baton Rouge. It seems like only yesterday that clothing couldn't even be purchased on Sundays.
Last year, the Metro Council voted to allow bars to operate on Sundays, beginning at 11 a.m., and to allow grocery stores to begin selling alcohol at 6 a.m. on Sundays.
If there truly is separation of church and state, then why couldn't people enjoy booze on what is usually their day off? Seems like the most logical day to have a drink is when you're not working.
quote:Yes, our leaders are now shoving alcohol down misguided young folk even on the Lord's day. Oh the humanity!!! :omg:
repealing the "Blue Laws" is asking for trouble. Pastor Raymond Johnson says, "Really, we're in the balance with our young people, giving them direction on how they should live. But yet, our leaders are saying it's okay to drink, even on a Sunday.

Does anyone know if it costs these establishments more to be able to open on Sundays? When this was in the works, I think I heard that bars have the option of opening on Sundays, but for a heftier price/fee/license, whatever it's called.

I think most bars won't make much money on Sundays because everyone is used to them being closed anyway. Also, since it is considered sabbath, a lot of people are getting up and going to church, not going to bars anyway. I don't see a whole ton of incentive for bars to be open Sunday until 2-3pm. I know the Bulldog in BR is open on Sunday now but I don't know the logistical hoops they had to jump through.
That being said, it makes 0 sense for stores that sell things other than alcohol to not be able to sell alcohol at those times. The store is open.. there's no good, logical reason to stop people from buying booze in the morning if that's what they so wish.
