Again you're at it with the religeous aspect. I don't give a toss what the NT does or doesn't say, what believers should or shouldn't do or what members of any faith do.
You are fully entitled to your beliefs, that is your right. I would be one of the first to stand alongside you should anyone attempt to take that right away.
What I don't need is for you to incessantly remind me what your beliefs are.

It just makes sense to have one day of the week when (nearly) everyone can have the same time off, let families be together, friends can meet up. You can probably staff with those who don't want that time if you do need to open.

In modern society that does not nor cannot work, again you are basing this on your religeous beliefs.

For 3) above, what about in the summer when you want to be outside. Even in the winter it's nice not to have all the traffic and bustle going on around. It's not the small retailers that cause the issue, it's the big units. They don't need to open.

What about those whose only opportunity to do the weekly/monthly shop is a Sunday?

4)By shopping I mean that if I need something I will go and get it but I won't simply go out for the weekly shop or to get stuff I don't need at that time.

See above.

As to 1) and 2) you have no problem with employers penalising or disallowing people who do want to keep a special day? OK that's not what you meant but not all employers are accommodating.

Glad you acknowledge that's not what I meant.
