Exactly. What a bunch of wackos for wanting a day off.Most liquor stores are owned by families who might want 1 day a week off.

Instead of them being open on Sundays, you could be a real man and stock up on booze so you never have to go without.

That is too logical Pete!!

Is it really that inconvenient for you? My friends step-dad owns a liquor store and said a majority of the locally owned/operated liquor stores are for keeping it the way it is.

I think it should actually be up to the store owners then, not politicians. If they want to be open Sunday, let them, if they don't want to be open on Sundays, let them do that also! but let it be their choice. That is all I would like to see happen. :)

Haha oh yea! Not to mention Hudson is a mere 20 minutes away.... Big deal.

Not for all of us. :(

I'm not saying liquor stores not being open on Sundays is some colossal inconvenience, but it would be nice to go get some booze when something comes up short notice the day after you drank your reserves. ;)

For now I'll just go to the bar to get my Sunday drink on. :draught2:

Only thing I can see, is that if some small stores arent open sundays, that will really hurt business if others down the street are. Might take away regulars and send them to the other stores all the time.

Capitalism? yeah.
Take the government out of telling a business when they can and cannot be open. Hell im sure a lot of small liquor shops would benefit greatly be staying open on sundays and taking like a monday or tuesday off. think about the events that go on, on sundays.

I've yet to meet someone who watched NASCAR and didn't drink!!

Lots of potential tax revenue dollars are going across the MN boarder to WI since liquor stores have to close by 10pm and aren't allowed to operate on Sundays. Obviously the stores not on boarder cities could careless, but the stores in Duluth, for example, sure do.

I guess I just think there are much better things to address in this state than beer on Sunday.
