Throughout my years, I've been fortunate to spend Sundays with my family. Our Sunday dinners were referred to as "The Family Ritual." I'm happy to say it is still the case with the extended families, although diminishing to some extent.
As the president of Apollo Liquor, I can report that our employees also have enjoyed the same privileges. Their performance, loyalty and success of our business may have something to do with their having Sundays off.
Would our business improve that much by opening one more day? Would the extra tax revenue be worth it? How long would the Apollo Liquor store be the only one closed on Sunday?
In my opinion, some of our social problems may be symptomatic of not having enough family time. Ideally, but not realistically, Americans should have a chance for one day with their families because Americans are the hardest working people in the world.
Europeans enjoy long weekends by business being closed, except in tourist areas.
