The thing that annoyed me about Blue Laws was that they discriminated against non-Christian merchants who wanted to be close on their Sabbath.
And after decades of 'standing on principle' and allowing this inequity, the communities then roll over as soon as the first mall developer breaks ground.
I give Chik-Fil-A props on choosing principle over profit in this by being closed on Sunday by choice.
