yes it is against the law for a store to close early. IF you catch them doing it then call the police and file a complaint. then you can sue the store and get a good settlement.
Great way to take advantage of a flawed system and shove prices higher to cover your settlement.
If you can make one worthless piece of shit rich in the process then it's all worth it.

Ok... someone told me that it is against the law for a business to close early. Did this guy meant that if a store closed before their advertised hours, constitute as false advertisement (spelling?)?

err
(8) "Dealer" shall mean a person, partnership, or corporation who is engaged in the business of buying, selling, or exchanging new or used motor vehicles, as well as other types of motor vehicle dealers, except finance and auction dealer and transporter:
(A) who may, as part of or incidental to such business, repair such vehicles, sell parts and accessories or lease or rent motor vehicles and who:
(i) Has had no previous record of willful violations of dealer laws or regulations in this or any other jurisdiction.
(ii) For initial applications only, has had no previous record of criminal convictions for extortion, forgery, fraud, larceny or embezzlement in this or any other jurisdiction.
(iii) Has no unsatisfied judgments against him or her arising out of violations of consumer protection laws in this or any other jurisdiction.
(iv) Presents proof of compliance with the provisions of 23 V.S.A. § 800 at the time application for registration is made.
(v) Is open for business at least 146 days during the calendar year. When the application for registration as a new car dealer or used car dealer is made, the applicant shall provide the commissioner with the hours of operation of the business which the person shall maintain during the registration
THIS is to clearify who is DEALER. this is nto a law saying they have to be open.
No, that does not say it is illegal to close early. That says that an auto dealer must provide their normal business hours.Originally posted by: smack Down
Sure it does, "applicant shall provide the commissioner with the hours of operation of the business which the person shall maintain during the registration"
Your friend is misinformed but some lame place like Chicago could do some nanny state BS like that. Then those places cannot figure out why all the businesses and corporations move.Originally posted by: invidia

Yes, and it is also illegal to put up one of those cardboard clocks that say "We will be back at ... "
As a responsible citizen, you should immediately call the police to report this.
