should commerce be allowed to be stifled by what is essentially religious dogma? if yes, should restricted hours be extended to accommodate the sabbaths and prayer days of other religions?

Time the Church was closed down completely - it's had its day.
We could use the empty churches and chapels, temples and mosques to house immigrants....

Scotland has had unrestricted Sunday shopping for years...has not caused any uproar or decline in the moral fibre of the population...
Question Author
MM, there was uproar in scotland in 2002 though, when Argos sacked 11 staff for refusing to work on a sunday.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/2407891.stm
this precipitated a change in the law affording scottish workers the same right of refusal that english and welsh workers had enjoyed since 1994.
Senior church figures say "needlessly" extending opening hours will limit the opportunity for "shared time and activities".



Why is this argument always about shop workers?
Restaurant, bar workers, taxi drivers, theme park workers, Zoo employees, those workers in the arcade at the seaside, bowling alley workers, leisure centre workers etc, etc, etc should all have more time off too .

That way we could have some 'shared time and activities' as a family unit

*** knows what we would do though ... monopoly or scrabble perhaps?




I managed before Sunday opening and though I have shopped on Sunays since it hasn't been often.

I don't mind when they open as long as everything is fair and equitable to their staff.

Re Churches opening hours, they were 24/7 in my childhood, sadly not anymore for many various reasons.
I worked as a sports club bar manager for years and greatly enjoyed having mid week days off when everyone else was busy working.

We'd all be online, like we are now.... :-)
My solution is to extend saturday by 23 hours and shorten sunday to 1 hour.

Shoppers do get angry, seen them on Black Fridays....scary or what.
