In the UK, a common loophole for extending "Sunday trading" laws is that, while they can't exchange money for goods, they can let you in the store and collect the things you want to buy so you'll be ready for "opening" and can go straight to checkout.

The other part was the stores that were open during the prohibited times usually sold allowed items also (medicine, food, diapers, etc.) As far as I know, the law has been repealed. Before I moved away I saw them implement Sunday beer and wine sales (still no sunday liquor sales) and do not remember having difficulty buying the previously restricted items on Sunday. It was weird entering a Wal-Mart (or other large store) and seeing a large section of items roped off.
