I remember a time when Sunday shopping was a topic being debated in Canada. (At the time there was a law mandating that most stores be closed on Sundays.)
Now stores are open 7 days a week and sometimes 24 hours a day.
Whenever I see a store post that it's open 24hrs/day all I can think about is what that does to the employees: because for most people, overnight shifts destroy your life.
I wonder if we wouldn't better off as a society having regular business hours and getting back that one day a week off.
It's our fault as workers, really. Because we lack solidarity, workers are in a race to the bottom to see who can work longer hours for less.
