When I was a kid I remember going to a grocery store on Sunday and wanting my mom to buy me this bouncy ball thing, and I couldn’t understand why the lady couldn’t sell it. Just said it’s illegal. Only food was allowed then. Not sure when it changed but that wasn’t all that terribly long ago.
Same here. It was bizarrely cruel. Little kids hit the hardest!
There was a time when big box hardware stores could sell some goods but not others.
As a kid I recall going to a K-Mart where aisles would be cordoned off on Sunday. At the time I thought it odd, it was only later I found out it was not only odd it was the LAW.
