Is Sunday opening a good or bad thing in the UK, and would it be welcome in Tenerife?

Serves them right .. should not be open on the Sabbath paying the workers min wage..
Supermarket chain Tesco becomes the first UK retailer to unveil annual profits of more than £2bn. ..

Spot on OG! British workers were conned into accepting Sunday opening.

I wish shops were open here on Sundays, especially the hardware shop, oh I miss B & Q or Homebase etc. Nothing worse than being in a middle of a job, realising you are missing something and having to wait till Monday to finish. It would be great to have Tesco's choice and prices here too.
Come winter when I have to work Saturdays too I don't know what I'll do for shopping - I will definitely miss Sunday opening. Guess I'll be doomed to use the high priced touristy shops...
Oh hang on that's right, apart from water, milk and toiletries I don't actually do any shopping do I!

When I was a kid nothing opened on a Sunday. In fact where I lived most of the shops closed early on a Thursday {don't ask me why} Prior to moving here I lived just outside the M25 and everywhere opened 7 days a week, from the small Londis at the top of my road to Lakeside shopping Centre in Thurrock. It is, in my opinion great that nothing opens on a Sunday meaning a total day of rest, and I don't feel guilty lying on the beach all day or doing absolutely nothing because there is nothing else that I can do

At least you have the luxury of being able to tackle a job at weekends. Those of us who work for these companies don't. I work for Homebase.
Years ago, we were conned into Sunday working with the promise of 'double time'. We all have families so how could we refuse? In a very short space of time the Sundays became contracted and we all found ourselves compelled to work. I despise the people who come into our store on a Sunday.
So the next time any of the forum members feel compelled to nip into Homebase on a Sunday, spare a thought for the poor sods who are compelled to be there for the minimum wage.
Sorry Mods if this is way off topic. Maybe a new thread?
