"Don't people have anything better to do with their time than shop? And more to the point, don't retail workers deserve some time to spend with their families too! I used to work in a supermarket and the reason I chose a different career path rather than retail management was because of the lack of time off around Christmas and easter" I was actually thinking the same thing... | |||

Easter is a religious day , in any event shops are open for enough days already without also being open on both Easter and Xmas days. Would being open on these days serve any meaningfull purpose ?Or does this just incur additional staff costs and no extra sales overall. | |||

"How crazy that a shop sells out of a seasonal item the day before the traditional giving of such item. Not really sure why anyone is surprised. Perhaps I'd understand if the had sold out in January. | |||

I might not even have to throw it out. It may walk off of its own accord. But I digress. I don't really do Easter so I'm having zapable lasagne for lunch. No waste from today. | |||

It's part of the job, retail workers know this when they sign that dotted line. Don't you think care workers, hospital staff, armed forces, fire brigade etc wish they had more days off too? Don't see them complaining because it's their job. I'm waiting for the flak | |||

" Wikipedia says its the only celebration that changes and that's because: 'Easter and the holidays that are related to it are moveable feasts in that they do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Julian calendars which follow the only cycle of the sun; rather, its date is determined on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar.' | |||

" The earliest believers in the church wished to keep the observance of Easter in correlation to the Jewish Passover. Because the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ happened after the Passover, they wanted Easter to always be celebrated subsequent to the Passover. And, since the Jewish holiday calendar is based on solar and lunar cycles, each feast day is movable, with dates shifting from year to year. | |||

Any job I've worked where the business need was to work bank holidays meant that the bank holidays got added to my leave allowance. I preferred that to be honest. Plus we used to get extra pay for bank holidays. | |||
