    I worked with a woman who asked for Yom Kippur off. For some bizarre reason, HR viewed this as a problem. *snip* She was told, "But you'll have Christmas off!" and she had to remind then that she was Jewish, that's why she was celebrating Yom Kippur.
    Ouch. She was one more remark away from having grounds for an antisemitism lawsuit.

      Our tax office was closed on Easter. Do you really want to do your return then?

        Back in Luuuuziana, even tho Blue Laws are a thing of the past even there, people are so used to the restrictive hours that most places aside from fast food and gas stations are only open from noon to 5 or 6 on Sundays anyway, as they know most of their customers won't show up outside of those hours.

          They used to have those where my family used to go to the beach, at least until the mid 80's. So Sunday nights were a little boring. We could go to the beach during the day, but going on rides or playing video games wasn't possible. I remember we tried a few different beaches and went a few years without going to that particular one, and then we came back in 1990 and everything was open every day.

          My old supermarket wasn't open on Sunday, not because of any law, just because they chose not to open. One time around Christmas, they decided to open in on Sunday in anticipation of people wanting to get stuff for Christmas dinners. We ended up closing early due to lack of business.

              That comment is about 10x funnier in Australia - our financial year runs from July - June, so our tax season is basically July-October/November. Someone doing their taxes in Easter is either a) Ned Flanders, b) self-employed or c) crazy.

                Here you go. Knock yourself out. Second opinions are free, but amended returns aren't.

                  Until last year, liquor stores in Minnesota couldn't be open on Sundays. It's so nice now to be able to pick up vodka or whiskey on a Sunday if I run out.

                    Yeah, unfortunately North Dakota still has Sunday shopping laws. Gas stations aren't affected, nor are grocery stores or restaurants. Anything else? Forget it untill after 12:00. Lived here for 2 years now, and it still catches me.

                    Most banks are not open Saturday's either. Had to open an account with one of the few that are. One of these days I'll be able to move elsewhere and not know what to do at finding places open

                      OH that is right a bunch of religious persons decreed Sunday to be a Holy DAY for everyone even those not of their "belief".
                      Yep, that's what they did. Blue laws for everyone. In fact, on Sundays, you still cannot buy a car from a dealer here in Pennsylvania. It was only recently that all liquor stores (state owned, BTW--a remnant of Prohibition) were also closed on Sunday. When the liquor board was set up--days before Prohibition ended--the governor at the time said that "the board's purpose was to make the consumption of alcohol as inconvenient and expensive as possible." It wasn't until 2016 that the limited hours at the state stores were relaxed, and you can get a bottle of wine at a licensed grocery store.

                        I remember reading, I don't remember if it was for my state or not...that they had blue laws, but they were revoked after a period of time.

                        Why? People were driving 50 miles south across the state line so they could go shopping after church. It got revoked then.
