Thread Name: BS: Sunday Shopping
Subject: RE: BS: Sunday Shopping
Here are some myths about the Sunday Shopping...People are not forced to work on Sunday..Not So..Many are forced to work or are not hired or have hours cut. These are not, for the most part, highly paid unionized employees...they often do not have choices. Also, all stores in Malls MUST open when the mall is open. If you run a small operation in a large mall you will not have a choice as the being open.There is no evidence that tourists come here to visit Home Depot or Wal Mart. Sunday Shopping increases sales...there is no evidence of that in any City in Canada where Sunday shopping is allowed. So I don't get it at all. Why a furore about one day a week off for all.. a slow day, a quiet day. Surely that cannot be a regressive idea. I also work five days a week...but I have no trouble getting my errands done/
