That old law is stupid. Why would a country of intelligent people need legislation that prevents grocery items being sold by willing employees/shop owners to willing buyers? It is okay to sell alcohol all night long, but not rice and beans? Many Belizeans enjoy earning money after 9:00 p.m. just ask them. Even though the rate of pay is seen as unreasonable by Pedro1. At least they should have the opportunity to work after 9:00 p.m. if they choose to.
