Assuming they've adopted the Christian sabbath. In the area where I
lived probably 30% of the population was not Christian. So they shopped
at the competition. Sunday and other days.

Fortunately that nonsense is mostly over, except perhaps for Chick-Fil-A.


Exactly. For those whose sabbath is another day, forcing stores to
close on Sunday not only means those people can't shop on the weekend,
but that they can't open their own stores at all on the weekend
either.

People who want to observe a sabbath day a certain way can choose not
to shop on that day, not to open their store that day, or not to work
for a store that does. They shouldn't be allowed to force everyone
else to conform to their particular schedule.
