Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I wouldn't ban Boxing Day shopping, but I would restrict Boxing Day to Sunday trading hours.It's not fair on staff to have to be in before 6am on a day when there's no public transport in a lot of the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 To be fair, most of the people moaning about shops being open on Boxing Day are whining students who think the world is extremely unfair because they have to work. That's the impression I get anyway. Also, I bet that if a lot of these people didn't work in retail, they'd be marching into Topshop at 9am on Boxing Day for the sales just like every other arsehole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience the people whining about working on Boxing Day are usually the ones who don't actually work on Boxing Day. It's just all about being outraged on someone else's behalf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 When I worked for Menzies I worked Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Started at 6. Didn't bother me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 When I worked for Menzies I worked Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Started at 6. Didn't bother me. I had to start at 7 when I was at McDonald's. It was pointless being open as no one actually came in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I don't have a DAB in my current car and the USB thing is too outdated to recognise my phone. Plays music off a memory stick but if I want to listen to the radio I'm deprived of my fix of my 6 Music. It means I'm much angrier than usual as I have to skip between radio 2 and BBC Scotland (the only stations the radio picks up). Apart from Sportsound, Radio Scotland would be improved 100 fold if it was just dead air. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irvine_buddie Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 If you work in retail you should just accept you might have to work boxing day, to be fair when I used to work retail I never heard anyone moan about it apart from their bad luck of it being their turn to do it. My missus works for Aldi and they actually close on boxing day which I'm surprised at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised to read this until I noticed your location (Sarf Lahndan). Scotland has different trading laws and Sunday is just another day here, Nobody has made the point that the discussion over Boxing Day opening only applies in England. There are no plans to prevent shops opening on Boxing Day in Scotland, and there is zero chance of it actually becoming law in England anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there's a queue of muppets outside just waiting to be fleeced vast wads of cash for what will very quickly become 'last years shite' Boxing day = big breakfast, chocolate, sport on tv, beer, feet up on the sofa etc, etc, etc.... Shopping?? I don't think so Ok maybe on the internet but that's it....... Edited December 13, 2016 by Trackdaybob afterthought 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to blame the likes of Next for screwing over staff and ruining there Xmas but what about the people who queue and buy? Equally responsible and all for what exactly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more responsible.It opens at 6am because there is demand for it, otherwise they'd never ever do it.Absolute mentalists that queue up for it, something very wrong with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
