Yes, even stores owned by Jews, and emergency services too.

I am old enough to recall when there was no gas, no grocery, nothing on Sundays, EVRY WEEK. As another FReeper said, life was better then.
What happened to us trumpeting ‘family values.’ And yeah...I do support the workers at Walmart not working TONIGHT!
There are a lot of crazy things going on in this world and if people want to pull their families back together? Tell big bad WalMart...not today thank you for respecting my time with family...
Ya’ll a bunch of scrooges and grinches. What good is capitalism without family? And stuff the oh...troops, doctors, firemen stuff...critical necessary ....and I think if you asked some troops...they'd say they are fighting for TRADITIONAL Thanksgiving, they are not there for Walmart, best buy, or macy's....
Personally I think many here on FR who say ...tough-- too bad, somebody else will do your job...you are evil and I rebuke you.
Agreed ... this is the way life was back in the 50's. On Sundays and holidays, stores were closed, as were most restaurants. Such a move, by contemporary society would be viewed as a big step backwards. As I recall, there were no sports games on those days either.
Be careful what you wish for.....someday...we may have this...EMP? Dead business climate...
