Kansas still has weird Sunday liquor laws. I never understood it. Are they worried about people getting smashed before going to church?

Probably right. So why do they stop selling at 8pm, instead of 11pm?

I don't know that's why I left Kansas (born there but sure as fuck won't die there). My guess is the same reason Baptists won't have sex standing up

There's a Kings liquor over at State line and a bar named Ugly Joes just a few feet away. Both lots were packed with KS plates every Sunday.

Back in the 80s liquor agents for Kansas used to hang out on 103rd or 75th street and would catch people driving back from Missouri liquor stores. But that is lawyer/big business owner neighborhoods. So someone told them to cut that stuff out quite quickly.
