I work in a retail company. When you start there, you have to work 2 weeks in 1 of the stores to learn the business.
In the store I worked at almost all employees wanted to work on sundays. Of course for the 100% extra pay. They would work the same number of hours and have more money.
The company however won’t be happy with this. If all competitors do this, they will have to follow. This will barely give extra revenue, because it will be a shift from revenue of other days. But the operational cost will increase because of the 100% extra pay on sundays.
Also if everyone does this, in the end the extra costs will be passed on to the customers.

I’m bellow 55 and have an opertional office job.
I predict that before I retire at 72 , I’ll have to go back to work on Saturdays.

Very normal in some neighbouring countries, even longer than that

I’m against this. It squeezes out the small players, and is another step to those awful American style big box stores.

I hate this. I have very rarely shopped on Sundays, only for something stupid I had forgotten to buy and perfectly happy to shop in one of those Sunday shops were everything is twice the price of a normal shop. Everybody is entitled to a decent evening and to a day off. There is a Intermarché near my place open 7 days a week since it was taken over by them. I tried to warn authorities, nobody seemed to take this seriously.

But why though?
