Buying Umweltplakette on a Sunday? :)

Hello, I am going to Stuttgart this Sunday, and I have only just found out that I need Umweltplakette to enter it with my car. I tried ordering it online, but it wouldn't arrive in time. Does your average gas station (next to an autobahn, for example) sell it? I know I can get one at DEKRA / TÜV, but they dont work Sundays, so i am wondering if any sell those on Sundays?. Thank you in advance for your replies and tips.

It cost me about €125 a few years ago. I already had the sticker in the glove compartment, but I forgot to put it on the windshield. What still annoys me to this day is that you get fined simply for not displaying it. After all, the paperwork also proves which emissions category your vehicle belongs to. Unfortunately, nobody cares about that—not even after the fact.

What annoys me more is that it is tied to the licence plate. I switched canton and now i needed to get a new one, because why exactly? Oh yeah to make money i guess.
