Few Booze Barns Take Sunday Shot
This scheme was moronic from the git-go. Allowing liquor stores to open on Sundays, but only if they close their shops some other day of the week, pretty much made it a lock that they wouldn't take the bait. Why bother? Everyone is already conditioned to the idea of the Sunday shutdown. Whatever sales they could garner opening on Sunday would be offset by the lost revenue closing down some other day of the week would entail.

The clowns in Albany who thought this hare-brained half measure would generate additional tax receipts just keep on proving they shouldn't be allowed near anything remotely fiscal. They beat the tar out of smokers by jacking tobacco taxes, then were shocked, shocked!, that smokers looked elsewhere to get their fix. I mean, it takes me roughly fifteen minutes to get to Bayonne, NJ., where (so far) butts (and booze) are cheaper. Nevermind buying them from an online source. Even factoring in the bridge toll, I still save money by copping my cartons over there.
