Almost everything except drug stores and restaurant are closed here on Good Friday as well as Easter..
What about the TV stations? For all those who dont want people to have to work on holidays, are you all going to stay home and not watch TV.
Given all the people that saw the Louiville player get hurt, I think tons of people were at home watching the game.
Like I said who gets decide who or what is essential?????

What about the refs and stadium personnel, coaches, trainers and floor wipers that had to work yesterday? I don't hear anyone complaining about that?

And don't forget churches. They were open on a holiday. Technically, all the pastors, ministers and priests all had to go to work on Easter Sunday. I'm sure they would have liked to just kick back and be with their families rather than preparing a service and then having to deliver it, usually many times during the day. For churches with multiple services, the pastor doesn't get much family time on religious holidays.
I work at Target and still don't see how they are closed on easter (in which there are tons of other places open) yet last year they were open on thanksgiving for an early black friday (in which every place is closed)
My dad is a minister. He always says that Sunday mornings are his volunteer work.
I'm glad the retail stores were closed. I worked 17 years at Kohls and I was glad we closed on Easter. We could spend time with our families. If a store closes two times out of the year I say that is not to bad. People can still eat so everyone will survive. Hospitals are open,gas stations, restaurants, grocery stores. I think we are in good shape. The way this country is headed it's only a matter of time before stores will be open on Christmas and Easter.
Considering the fact that our country is filled with people of all different religions and not just Christians, that would not be a bad thing.
The problem is I'm old school. I liked that we were not living and breathing for the almighty dollar. You still have 363 days to get what you need. If we close under the name of Christmas or Easter don't fix it because it's not broke. It's worked for a long time. I would also like to go back to when stores were closed on Sundays. I guess I'm really dreaming.Considering the fact that our country is filled with people of all different religions and not just Christians, that would not be a bad thing.
Well then, why not have the stores close on Saturdays? After all, that's the Sabbath. So no one can do any business between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday. It worked for a long time also.The problem is I'm old school. I liked that we were not living and breathing for the almighty dollar. You still have 363 days to get what you need.

Was that in America?? I only recall Sunday's being a day stores were closed. I'm only speaking on behalf of America. I don't know how other countries work.Well then, why not have the stores close on Saturdays? After all, that's the Sabbath. So no one can do any business between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday.

To all the people who are saying that stores should be closed for all religions' special days if they are going to be closed for the Christian religious days. . .
