Wal Mart?
Kroger?
Every convenience store and fast food place in town?
All the shops, local, regional, and chain?

It's a lot easier naming those that are not open on Sunday: Chick-fil-A, and one or two others that nobody goes to.

You mean like stores that arent chains?

Seriously, there are some more here. And in the photolab I had a job before uni they worked regularly sunday too, although only with a limited "crew".

Yes, but from everything we hear over here, Europe is a land of angry heathens , out to destroy their Christian heritage ... you'd think this would be right up your ally.

This isnt a atheist vs God thing, its a Cap vs Com thing.

Naw, all the local stores are open too. I just wanted to name names y'all recognize... I mean, it would sound silly if I rebutted with

"Charley's Pizzeria is open! So is Carol Ann's Gift Card Emporium! "

Ha! Wal Mart is closed here on sunday

Ban working.

I think it's a good idea actually, which is odd for me. I think there should be some statutory limit to working hours a week, though I dont really care if people want to work on sundays, or 7 days a week, but some people are workaholics are could just work themselves to death so to speak. It hurts families, the individual, and the economy in terms of days and healthcare resources lost to stress and related conditions. The law needs to protect them imo.

JohnT, the key question is whether the Katch is open on Sunday.

way back in ancient history, like 30 to 40 years ago, most US states had "blue laws" for retail.

People lived in caves back then, too.

No thanks. People who make laws to protect others from themselves from "working hard" ... well, that's pretty ****in' pathetic.

In Norway, most shops are closed on Sundays.

You guys don't have to work on Saturdays though right? So that's not too bad.

I support the idea of a limitation on maximum number of working hours a week, though that doesn't mean stores and such can't open on Sundays.

The US has long been 24-7, depending on what industry you're in and the inclination of the owners and the workers. I've worked Sundays for much of my life. I don't know if it will work in every country, but I think it suits us.

It was a shock to me to go to Germany and see the government regulating this. Seemed pretty pointless.

i would support a ban or me working on sundays, because after a saturday night on the razzle, there's just no need...

[C0ckney]

and yeah john t people should be allowed to work as long as they want, as long as they're not forced to work stupid amounts of hours of course.
