By bringing in this temp measure will bring in extra business - BUT, what about the staff that have to work it.

I believe that ALL shops should close on a Sunday, its the only day off some staff get to be with there families, Its fine to say that staff can get days off during the week, but this is not right.

The big problem is and always will be, the staff that have to work these days, will they get the offer of saying yes or no, some employer could be tough, as to them its money through the till. Will they also get extra payment, guaranteed the shop keepers will increase prices, supermarkets will increase prices - but not pay extra wages.

Sunday's is regarded as a day of rest - some hope.
