Why Mormons don't shop on Sundays?

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe in following the Ten Commandments given by God to the prophet Moses. One of these commandments is to keep the Sabbath Day holy. Mormons believe that Sunday is the Sabbath Day. In order to keep the Sabbath Day holy, we should avoid work or seeking entertainment. The day should be spent in worship and in spending quality time with family.

Mormons try to avoid shopping on Sunday because it can be considered seeking entertainment and also because it means someone else must work, therefore making that person break the commandment. Most Mormons are okay with going to the store on Sunday only in event of an emergency, such as needing medication.
