I think you all missed the point of the original posting (Dave Sherman,
I think).  He said 'we already have our own restful sabbath...we feel no
need to rest on someone elses'.  As I see it, the problem is one of religious
freedom.

The idea that a day be set aside, and retail store employees be allowed
a day of rest is fine, and I doubt that anyone would seriously disagree
with it.  The fact that it MUST be Sunday is obvious religious descrimination.
Jews observe Saturday as sabbath; Muslims observe Friday; my ignorance keeps
me from being aware of others.  The business issues are, to my view,
aside from the point.
