supermarkets

Gone are the times of families spending quality time together.

What is this world coming to I ask myself? The government expects you to work around the clock now no time for your partner or your children.

No wonder so many marriages are ending in divorce and so many kids are going off the rails and committing crimes from young ages because no-one has time for their children anymore. You need to work to survive, as everything in this world is so money orientated nowadays whereas in our day money and material things were not important just love and only the man of the house needed to work.

I cannot believe that the government are considering that supermarkets should be open 24 hours a day seven days a week three hundred and sixty five days a year. I mean honestly who in their right mind wants to work on Christmas day, ok I understand that nurses and carers and people in this sector need to as it is a necessity but in retail come on who wants to shop on Christmas day. And to top it all they also want to stop all their night premiums and Sunday premiums and bank holiday pay so you tell me do they really think apart from the fact that these people apart from having a family want to work on Christmas and other such unsociable hours and bank holidays want to work for normal pay.

If they go ahead with this I feel that they will have a crisis on their hands as so many people will walk out and they will have a whole load of people back on the dole que or they will have a strike. They will be heading for a fall. It is fine the way it is the stores are open everyday apart from Christmas day and easter Sunday as it is if people can’t find time to shop in the long days they trade then their has definitely got to be something extremely wrong.
