Legit question, no? You are suggesting places should be closed because it’s a national holiday, so when it’s their cultural holiday they have to be open so you can go shop since it’s not a national holiday?
It’s hypocritical. Thats a hostile reponse.
They should be allowed to choose to be open because it’s a free market.
Your exceptions are strange, they should be allowed to be closed too, if that’s truly how you feel that it should be. It’s a national holiday after all.
Nope, obviously I do not have a binary yes/no opinion, there is obviously nuance, but you're being very hostile in your responses and I'm not interested in having an all-out argument here.
No, but it's more subtle than 'free market.' There should be some mandatory national holidays.
This gives employees the opportunity to exchange shifts and have time off during their non-Christmas cultural holidays.
