Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

And on the seventh day...well, you know what happens on Sunday. It's a day of rest for Christians, except stores continue to be open on Sundays. You'd think, given that most people have their weekends free, that they would open late on Sundays. But, no...it closes early on Sundays.

Suppose you have birthday plans for Sunday, as I did a few weeks ago. Where can you go on a Sunday evening? Most places like to close by 9 PM or even earlier. Restaurants, alas, don't like catering to the late night crowd.

There are a few exceptions, of course. McDonald's and other late-night fast food places. There's diners that open up really late too. But other than that? Some Korean restaurants like to open up late too.

If grocery stores can do it, restaurants can too! The funny thing is coffee and doughnut places open up real early. They want to cater to the 6 AM crowd. It's assumed, perhaps accurately, that early folks are positive folks, and those prone to stay up til midnight or later are delinquents.

With the way jobs work, it may be so.

It's too bad, because it would be nice to get food of all sorts at whenever.
