My personal favorite was my insurance at my last job had my prescription coverage managed by CVS caremark. I have a few prescriptions I probably need to take the rest of my life, and after the initial fill at my local pharmacy, they would refuse to cover it unless I had my doctor resend the script to their mail-order service, and had the gall to claim it was for my convenience. Some of said medication is controlled such that I can only refill it within a few days of my current fill running out, bud will conveniently also cause some rather unpleasant withdrawals if I miss a couple of doses. So, "for my convenience," rather than calling in a refill and walking the two blocks to my local pharmacy, which has my refill ready in 30 minutes for me literally every time, I had to send it off to CVS. Then hope they filled it quick enough and there weren't any Sundays or holidays to mess with it.

I used to think stores didn’t care about Sundays in the US and were always open.

The facility itself might even be open on Sunday, I'm not sure, but they would mail it via USPS, which doesn't deliver on Sunday unless you pay extra for it, and Caremark most certainly did not pay the extra for me.

Largely true IME. The store itself will still be open on a Sunday, only the pharmacy part will be closed.
