Not only are they closed on Saturdays, they have also made it impossible for anyone to buy from them on their website on Saturdays. I respect them for that.
B&H closes at 2:00pm eastern time Fridays, or 1:00pm when DST ends. The store is closed all day Saturday. The website is 24/7/365 except order entry is unavailable from Friday evening until sunset NYC time Saturday evening. Our site has a schedule. For instance it now says:

Amazon prime?
I've ordered two day on Sat and got it Tuesday. They can pack it and charge it to your card, but I'd be surprised if it gets picked up before Monday. Could be wrong, but we are heavy Amazon users. We're never in a hurry so it's not a concern. It would be interesting to find out. I know that for the past several months, in my rural are USPS delivers two-day packages on Sunday, but that would be for items shipped on Fri.

I’m sorry my friend, that is not how it works. God has nothing to do with what one makes.
Not sure if I understand what you mean but as far as my life, God has everything to do with what I make. Have you ever read Matthew chapter 6? In it Jesus told a great parable by pointing out how the birds don't plant or reap, but you never see them go hungry because God feeds them. He went on to point out how the flowers in the field do nothing and yet they are more beautiful than all of Solomon's riches. He then asks "Are we not more valuable than the birds and the flowers?"
Jesus then points out how people struggle and worry over these same things, what we will eat and what we will wear as if God is incapable of taken care of us as he does the birds and the flowers. He then says to all of us in verse 33 "Seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you"
The point I was making with companies like Chic Filet and B&H is that they honor God first by closing one day of the week. And God honors the back by making them prosperous despite only working six days a week. It's a matter of trust. Something that I learned early on a Christian, putting God first in everything I do and He has been faithful in taking care of my needs. So yes, He has everything to do with what I make...

Since this isn’t a religious forum, I’ll keep it short, but want to point out that I appreciated your detailed reply.
Ok so here we go.
Based on your belief system and that of course includes everyone who believes in the BIBLE, paints god as someone who has an ego. Let’s assume that there is or was a creator, whether it is the Christian god, the gods that Hindus believe in, or Allah.
Why would a god favor someone or a company over others, just because they close for a day? Even us, sinner human beings treat our children better than that.
Would you turn on one of your children just because he or she put in an extra 8 hours and worked 7 days a week to provide for his or her family?
But you believe that god is THAT egotistical? If the answer is yes, how do you explain all the billionaires, who are usually not believers and who work all the time? Is it also god who reward these men and women?
Would you also punish one of children with burning in hell for ETERNITY just because he or she wasn’t religious, even though he or she was a very loving and kind person otherwise? Would you?
Because from where I’m sitting, this supernatural being seems more like a sociopath and less like a loving god.
Thank you.

Right. It's other people's beliefs in god that
affect you materially. Only in Greco/Roman
legends of Mt. Olympus do gods pillage and
rape and cut deals in the material world ;-)

Goodness me, birds do go hungry starve and die (especially in the winter) all the time.
And yes I'm pretty sure birds and animals worry about food most of their short lives.
So do many hardworking Christians and non-Christians in many parts of the world.
There is a forum for bible thumping...the Attic.
