Here in Indiana, it just became legal to buy booze on Sunday two years ago.

When I was young, circa 60's, I remember that the only store open on Sundays in our area was a Pharmacy. And it was open only from 12-3PM. It was very crowded after church lol. I grew up in a small town in Canada and nothing was open on Sundays until after ~2005. The Walmart effect
It’s always funny when people move to Germany from other countries, especially overseas, and tell you completely confused that they tried to buy groceries on a Sunday and stood in front of closed doors…
First rule if you come here:
All shops are closed on Sundays, except for gas stations, restaurants and bars, some bakeries and emergency pharmacies.

I absolutely love all the Outlander books and all the Lord John books and all the other associated books. I've read every word Diana Gabaldon has written, even the Outlander graphic novel.
I'm really having trouble liking the TV series because they're changing it up too much for my liking. But I still watch every episode and anxiously await each new season. It's beautifully done and I like seeing the period costumes and sets (even though the big house in NC is not right--I know that's a petty thing to be bothered by).
My husband will watch with me if he's not doing something else and he enjoys it pretty well, but it's not appointment TV for him.
I enjoyed Men in Kilts too.
And now I want to go to Scotland, but I really don't like cold weather.

I hate food shopping on Sundays. Also it blows my mind that places like Target are open at 7am on a Sunday, like that's one of the last places I'd want to be that early on a Sunday. I'm sure it's not even crowded at that hour but that's beside the point.
Show us a Target haul, Gene.

Like husbandontherun , I'm in Western Europe. Sundays are rest days. You can get your fresh bread and pastries. Maybe find an elusive grocery store open from 9 to noon. And that's it. Go home, go eat, go nap and lazy the end of you weekend away.
Personally, I love it. But the American tourists, oy vey, it's hard on them.  "Why is everything closed? I just wanted to go exchange something at Sephora. I don't get it. It doesn't make sense."

Yep - Blue Laws. Had to do with religion...not sure why it was called a Blue Law though...growing up the grocery stores that sold other things for example like toys, were roped off so you couldn't purchase them.
The malls were closed and then eventually just opened 12:00 Noon to 6:00 p.m. Obviously some malls and stores are open full blast (again).
Also I live in Texas and we have some funny liquor laws and just recently have been able to buy beer and wine (only) in grocery stores thanks to I think either Sams Club or Costco changing that law somehow.
Still can only buy hard liquor Monday to Saturday at liquor stores - no Sundays.
To be honest, this is not a bad thing if you take the religious context out (or keep it in either). It keeps people home doing things together instead of out shopping. Or just makes people relax. We shop too much in the U.S. lol.
Of course it is definitely inconvenient if you work Monday through Friday and that's your only time to run errands.

I've lived in a couple of primarily Jewish neighborhoods and I loved how most everything was closed for the sabbath - noticeably less traffic & noise

When I was in Germany for the first time, I was shocked that the stores weren’t open on Sunday. Like my brother said “you just get what you need on Saturday. No big deal”

Everyone is. Whenever I meet someone new ( USA, Portugal, Japan) that’s one of the first stories I hear 😂
Up until 30 years ago, all stores had to close at 6pm during the week, 2pm on Saturdays.
