Why you see people stocking up with food in the run up to Christmas looking like they are preparing to sustain a small army through a famine is a bit of a loss to me, especially when the shops are only shut for a couple of days throughout the whole holiday period.

What would be wrong with them being open on Christmas Day?
Shop opening is an interesting point. In Berlin most of the big businesses and shops are closed on Sundays. All supermarkets are closed. It's only small shops and cafes restaurants and bars open. Sunday's seem centered around friends, family and activity as opposed to mindless and endless consumerism.

My memories of day trips to France are mainly via the Newhaven-Dieppe route. The ferry used to get into Dieppe at something like 11:55. At which point every damn supermarket in Dieppe would promptly shut for a two hour lunch break :thud:
Only did that trip twice.I hated the long crossing but Dieppe is so much nicer then calais. Still ,sailling from Dover is much more pleasant.
And who really goes?
Not f***ing well me.

They already can if the store is below the legal limit (on store sizes not alcohol in blood stream).
Tesco is an awful place to shop advertises cheap prices then never has any stock of the thing on offer.
What would you NEED to buy on Xmas Day though?
I reckon all shops should be shut Xmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
The one I work in is shut two of those three days, and on the other day I get a £200 bonus for working 4 hours, so I can't say I'm complaining too much from that POV.

Just thought of another one - surely Officers Club can't survive much longer? Seems to have permanent sales!!

Some of us do not celebrate christmas not being christians so its simply December the 25th. And before someone bleats on about those who work in retail I work in retail and object having to use 2 of my holiday days on days when I don't want holiday because christians think I should believe the same fairy stories they do.
I suspect you're in a small minority amongst retail staff in that view. I would imagine that if companies thought most of their staff would be willing to work Xmas Day, they'd be more open to the concept of opening. Personally, I would NEVER work Xmas Day.
Personally, I think it's nice to have at least one (two, including Easter Sunday) day off from the constant need people feel these days to be able to go shopping all the bloody time. God knows how we used to cope when shops were all shut on a Sunday and half-day closing on Wednesdays was far more common than it now is.

SERIOUSLY!
Set up an opinion poll for their staff-I'm sure you'll get enough reasons for them to stay closed.

A lot of people in retail dont want to work on Xmas Day as they would only be on time and a half , which is bank holiday rate. As Sunday is now considered an ordinary day in the week like a Saturday you dont get paid any extra for working at the weekend.
