I was visiting Salt Lake City several years ago and I was looking for a place to meet a friend for a drink. I went in a convenience store and asked the clerk where the nearest bar was and he looked at me like I'd pulled a gun on him.

Also in Utah: I was staying at Arches National Park, and was having dinner one evening in the lodge restaurant. It was a Sunday evening and a group of German almost rioted when they found out they couldn't buy beer on Sunday.

You can’t buy beer on a Sunday? German beer riots used to be serious business btw: 20 people died in riots 1873 because beer prices were set to be raised in Frankfurt.

Damn, even beer? In SC, you can’t buy liquor on Sundays, but you can consume it at a restaurant or other business. Beer and wine were fine.
