Supermarkets are open from 7am to 10pm Monday-Saturday even in small cities. When you can't plan your week around this, you have other problems that won't be solved by abolishing Sunday laws. If you are living in a small town, you can always move to a bigger city at any time to get the benefits of longer opening hours.

I live in Munich. Here the stores close at 8. > When you can't plan your week around this, you have other problems that won't be solved by abolishing Sunday laws. Oh look, we got a logistical badass over here. Because you never ever need or want anything spur of the moment on a Sunday, right? Look, it's not an enormous deal. But it does kind of suck. It's a decent sized decrease to convenience and a slight decrease to overall quality of life. Convenience is nice. > If you are living in a small town, you can always move to a bigger city at any time to get the benefits of longer opening hours. ...Munich is the third largest city in the country. And I can't really just move, not a ton of Google-level jobs around. You sound like US conservatives: "don't like [insanely regressive policy]?? Why not just leave the country?!" Maybe because even if I don't like something, there's more than a single variable that I use to determine where I live?

  While you want something "spur of the moment on a Sunday" others are happy to have a day off where almost all their friends and family do, too. You are thinking very egoistically. Maybe try working shifts for half a year with only getting to know the schedule 2 weeks before, before you demand that everybody should jump to serve you. Or try to raise a child that has school Mon-Fri while you have to work Sat and Sun from 1pm to 10pm. Berlin has supermarkets open sometimes even beginning from 6am, and a lot of "Kiosks". It also has a huge demand for programmers and other IT specialists. There is little reason not to move there if being able to buy whatever you like on a Sunday is so important for you. The rent is a lot cheaper, too. If Berlin is not enough, there is also Hamburg with offices from Adobe, Microsoft, Google, etc.
