So there I was last night Good Friday waiting to pick the other half up From Waitrose, which was shutting three hours early 6:00pm instead of 9:00pm. The amount of people trying to force their way into the store was unbelievable. And the poor trolley collector was having a ear bashing of loads of people like it was his fault. My girlfriend came out looking like she’d been through world war three, she said it had been manic all day. People spending money like the world was ending, and just because the shops are shut for ONE day.

I almost miss the good old days when everything was shut on a Sunday. You could stroll through Abergavenny and not see a soul not even the pubs were open. But now everything is twenty four hours and people expect staff in supermarkets to sleep there just for their convenience, we’ve just become a society that expects everything on a plate.

So please show a little consideration for those people who keep the beans on the supermarket shelves on the weekend.

I work 3 days a week so it's easy for me to shop when I like. I do symapthise with those who work 5/6 days a week with limited time to shop (been there done that!)


I'm all for bringing back sunday shop closure, BUT in todays society it's not that feesible

aye I no that EXACT feeling its soooooooooo annoying lol day before xmas it's a pandemic lol wow 1 day with no supermarket lets all go christmas eve to make sure we're well stocked....

christmas eve FOOD shopping is the best shopping AFAIC.

I will not work sundays, or Christmas eve, I will not work Boxing day, I will not work NYE or NY day. It's about choice no .

saying that, in my job we shut one day a year , they queue up on Boxing day.

quite sad really
