24/7 Openings--its a good thing

Quote From thecoastman:

The big supermarkets that are open 24/7 still have to close early on a Sunday due to trading laws I think - so most supermarkets are open 11-4 or something. They probably do Sunday hours on a bank holiday Monday.

I worked in a supermarket for a few months a long long time ago, and I think on a bank holiday they paid us triple time? I remember earning something like £15 an hour at the age of 16...(up)

Is that helpful enough for a star? ;-)

Indeed, that is helpful enough for a star!

I was not able to even get a simple little container of milk from Friday to today. I had to wait until the grocery store opened, thus delaying my day to a very late start, and its soooooooooooooooooooo annoying. This is on top of having hiked several blocks a few days ago to a very major chain of a grocery store and even it was closed???!!! It just makes no sense whatsoever. Why not have a store that is open 24/7--at least the major chains? I don't get it.

I have concluded after this long weekend that what the UK needs is grocery stores that are open 24 hours a day, every day, no matter if its a national holiday or some other kind of holiday or event. Most people still eat on holidays, and its very inconvenient when everything is closed. I also don't understand why on regular days grocery stores keep traditional bankers hours. Its very annoying to have to fit grocery shopping into the hours of 9-5.

Am I allowed to use dialect? It's a northern farming term for a pet lamb :-)

Sure, why not?

Loop

the 16 hour rule is a self invented one that says if no one has answered your own word in 16 hours you can reply to your own word!!! But it seems to work!
