There is always going to be a need for essential work to be done on a Sunday, but if Sunday is not just another day spent worshipping at the temple of mammon, fewer people will be out and about and therefore fewer people will be required to work in those industries that support their out-and-aboutness.

Our society has undergone a creeping change in this regard over the past couple of decades and I really am struggling to see who has benefited from it.
