Please no. Sundays in Belgium were awful. Nothing to do.
At least now in the USA I can go do what I want. It's like any other day. I don't need to stuff everything in my Saturday.
And if that means that I'll pass a couple of Semi trucks? No problem. Hell, I'll move out of the way for them. After all, there isn't a single thing in my hands that hasn't been delivered by a truck.
- vanderZwan 3y agoI don't get your point. How would a lack of trucks in the weekend negatively affect your Sundays in Belgium exactly?
- jonasdegendt 3y agoHe's implying the same laws that say you can't drive trucks on a Sunday, also restrict other labor, or make it uneconomical (e.g. having to pay mandatory overtime for weekend hours performed). He's wrong anyway, there's no ban on general trucking on the weekends in Belgium, only oversized loads. He is right about strict labor laws, you'll barely find any open stores on a Sunday, besides restaurants, bars and some other forms of entertainment. But yeah, God forbid you can't go to the European equivalent of a Best Buy on a Sunday, so some retail worker can enjoy their weekend.
- ahtihn 3y ago> Sundays in Belgium were awful. Nothing to do. I never got this? The only thing to do in your mind is shopping? Restaurants, cinemas, other leisure activities are all available right?
- WirelessGigabit 3y agoYou'd be surprised. I'm literally looking at a mall right now that is open Mon-Sat each week + 1 Sunday / week. If I have 8 days off per month that literally removes 3/8, or 37.5%. Also larger grocery stores aren't open unless they get an exception.
