It does keep Sunday a slower day than the other days of the week however, a

pocket book a rest.


It does make Saturday a faster day though. When the city of Rotterdam
decided to allow shopping on Sunday on of the results was that the big
frenzy that Saturday used to be became a lot less hectic.

A ban for shopping on Sunday means that I have to do all shopping on
Saturday. In Switzerland it is even worse with shops closing at 4 PM.


Germany too, but there is more and more exceptions to the law. I've
seen a huge expansion over the years for the Sunday sales law. Its
meant to be items needed for travel, they sell PlayStations now... as
well they should have the right to, whenever they wish.

which to me means less time to shop around for deals, and sometimes
having to do my shopping in a town 35 km away where some stores do open
on Sunday...

So in my experience, keeping everything closed on Sunday doesn't lead to
more rest for my pocket book, nor for my nerves...
