I'll never forget my last shopping trip there, I was 18 helping my sister move into her new house , and tried to buy a case of beer and a hammer... the lady behind the counter said "you can't buy that, it's Sunday!" I said, "I thought you could buy beer on Sunday here? " She said, "beer sure, but the hammer is a tool and Sunday is a day of rest!" I put the hammer off to the side and said "ok, if you say so." :D

:D True statement, Sunday "blue" laws were very controversial back in the day :roll: now anything's legal :? Not to be a stickler for details... but that's Schwegmann's ;) just in case someone wants to google it. Famous Louisiana name in groceries AND politics 8-)
