A New Jersey shopper walked into Walmart and found the clothing aisles blocked off because selling them that day is illegal

Most Walmart stores sell just about everything seven days a week, but one corner of New Jersey still plays by rules written for a very different era. TikTok user @joselwees found that out on a Sunday trip to Walmart in Bergen County, where the clothing section was closed off to shoppers. His short video about it has drawn hundreds of thousands of views. In the clip, the creator explained that he is new to New Jersey and had no idea about the rule. He told viewers that in Bergen County it is illegal to sell clothes on a Sunday, so at Walmart, “they basically close off all the clothes.” The footage pans across racks of coats and other clothing that shoppers could see but could not buy that day. The creator ended the video by asking his followers for an explanation, saying “I need answers.” His caption was shorter and more pointed, calling the situation “petty,” while the on-screen text simply asked what was going on in Bergen County.

Letter to the Editor: Morris County Republicans Need New Leadership and a Plan to Rebuild

Thank you, Mike Crispi. I agree with much of what you wrote. I cast my first ballot in 1981, consider myself a Reagan Republican and have been involved in Morris County Republican politics since 1990. I live in Parsippany-Troy Hills, once a Republican stronghold. I’m angry about how much we’ve lost, and I’m angrier that so much of it was avoidable.
