It's still pretty barbaric. Even the US has stores open. Why should a small minority stop me from shopping?

What are regulations for Easter trading? [OT]

They signed that contract. They more than likely didn't have any choice. It was either sign the contract or claim benefits. That *is* a choice Steve. But neither would you do it for £5.05 / hour, either. Lot of people on far less than that. Don't you worry yersel' there are plenty of very polite and very presentable Polish and Czech till operators who don't have any chip-on shoulder attitudes about giving a good service, and the rest. We won't starve. And you wouldn't starve if the shops reverted to 70s / 80s style opening hours, either. We wouldn't starve if we shut the shops every day except 2, could save a fortune in unneccessary shop workers, if all shoppers coordinated their shopping. It wouldn't take much, and all the corner shops would flourish again to fill in the gaps. Say, thursday and Friday, sack the shop workers and have self service tills like Asda. -- wigwambam |

You don't like working Sundays, so you wouldn't let ANYONE work Sundays? Selfish git. No, it's just that he's sticking up for those who have less choice than him, or you, or me. Sometimes freedoms for the majority are worth giving up to prevent the weakest few being exploited. That's unselfish in my book. Jon. |

Better still not to make consumers have to plan for days when retail outlets will be closed, and instead to allow shops to provide service when it's needed. In other words, as a country we should be putting the needs of the customer *first* rather than *last*. Ahhh, you're another one who believes in 'screw everyone else, I'm OK'. Actually, it appears that it's you that wants to stop other people from freely entering into mutually beneficial arrangements for some rather odd reasons of your own. That makes you an interfering, arrogant, nosey-parker bully in my book. For some people sunday working will be mutually beneficial. For others it will be forced upon them and they can up and leave and find another job if they don't like it. For others, there will be little chance of alternative employment and they'll be forced onto dole or forced to just put up with it. As usual, the least qualified, the poorest and the least able to help themselves will suffer the most. All the great social reformers were called interefering and arrogant. Good job Wilberforce and MLK didn't listen to them eh? Jon. |
