How Sunday stopped being special for the American worker

Let me guess, genius. You want a citation about keeping the Sabbath holy and an authority for changing the Sabbath to the day the Resurrection? Put down your snake and pick up your Bible, countryboy. Don't you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Ask him. It's guys like you that give Christianity a bad name.

You are the one claiming American Christians believe Christianity is canonized as the official state religion. Provide evidence. Of course you cannot, because you made it up.

“If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law,”

“Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth In witness whereof We have hereunto subscribed our Names, GO WASHINGTON–Presidt. and deputy from Virginia”

You have presented no data and no argument to support your claims, merely accusations and mind reading. You give country boys a bad name.

I have made no claims, merely asked you to substantiate yours. Which you still have not done. Because you cannot. ;)

That probably means that newer people were not allowed the Sunday shift. Companies are not required to pay people overtime for weekends and you might know.

Not likely considering the turnover rate for employees at Walmart. Pretty sure they would have to have some new employees working Sundays alongside the older employees.

Well, we don't now. Extra pay for holidays etc is an incentive to get people to take the work. New people could have just been assigned the shifts, but these days experienced people would need an incentive in a lot of cases. As a kid I used to work Sundays at a gas station (full service; it was a while ago)...

Less and less people going to church; so why should Walmart treat Sunday special? The Jews could complain that Saturday isn't treated special. Muslims could complain that Friday isn't treated special. Atheists could complain that anyone is treated special.

They should treat it special because God made it special.

How Sunday started being special is the better question. If it was based on baing the (Christaiin?) sabbath then that raises 1A issues.

No more than laws against murder or perjury raise 1A issues.
