Should Shops Be Shut Boxing Day?
Comments

Although I wouldn't be shopping in store anyway, shops should be able to open everyday of the year providing the very small minority of people who actually attend church are allowed time off to do so if need be.
No, just no. Christmas is a time to relax with family. Shops should not be able to open every day of the year, Christmas and Easter are sacred and even those that do not go to church should not be forced to work.
You would be lost on the continent, the majority of shops are closed on a Sunday. As far as I am concerned that is the way it should be.
As for opening boxing day - I think it should be voluntary for staff, and if the shop gets enough staff willing to work it they can open, if not then they can't.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0
