In Giant Food stores you could buy potatoes but not a scrub-brush to clean them. The brush required labor and Sunday was a day of rest. Tools of any kind, auto parts, paint, etc were illegal to SELL on a Sunday.

This was 20 years ago outside the nations capital. Who knows what kind of laws are still on the books that some local publicity seeking or religious nut decided to enforce. All liquor still has to be purchased from State Stores.

This has nothing to do with the Feds.
