Were people being harmed and I just didn't know it back then? Lack of sales for stores Lack of salary for retail workers Lower sales taxes for government Lack of opportunity to buy things that may be needed on a Sunday All in all, a considerable financial cost to indulge the sentiments of one group in society. In fact, blue laws folded when a majority of voters decided they wanted to have normal commercial lives on Sundays, like the rest of the week.
