There's no law against opening Easter Sunday.

I stand corrected, not sure how we got away with it, but deffo open on Easter Sunday, as was the homebase on the same retail park.

Mcmerta Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Isnt it about time this stupid law is changed. Ive never agreed with the restricted opening hrs on sundays either. The is no reason for it. As someone who works in a big shop thats effected by the sunday trading laws for many years, i believe they should firmly stay inplace. No one ever thinks of the employees in these shops, getting abuse from some customers who want unreasonable thinks. Knowing on sunday you can go to work relatively late and able to go home relatively early is a nice benefit, which is only 1 day of the week. Allows these workers to actually see family and be guarenteed 1 evening to sit down with family/friends and have a dinner or social event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
