I can understand being closed on Sunday due to religious conviction. If you think that's the way to keep the commandment, go ahead.
What frustrates me is a store that closes at seven all week and six on Sundays (or similar). Why close just a little early on Sunday? If it's religious conviction, why stay open through church and evening activities, and then close as soon as people are home?
Is it just that there's no business on Sunday because everyone assumes everything is closed all day or closing early?

OK, I forgot about Jehovah's Witnesses and how they would answer. The point is that the majority of the US thinks that Sunday is the Sabbath/day of rest.

most places business actually does drop off on sunday afternoon/evening and they close early to ease labor costs rather than for any religious sentimentality

They close early so that people may attend the evening service at church.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
SUNDAY?
THE SABBATH?
Please..if you are going to not follow the Sabbath that's one thing. But to call Sunday the Sabbath...don't get me started.
That's what I mean and that is sooo wrong. Who cares if that is what the majority thinks? WIDE is the path to destruction. God says if you love me, keep my commandments, not just nine and forget the only one that says "Remember".
And by the way, it is not Jehovah's witnesses. It is the Seventh day Adventists, and the Seventh-day baptists and the Church of God and the Messianic Jews, and I'm sure I'm missing some other ones.

Whats even stupider is the real Sabbath ended over 24 hours ago in EST.
Vatican Antichrist changed it to Sunday to "demonstrate its power over fools and the word of G-d"
Saddest thing is, it worked. :-(

Very good question - why open at all?
