Glad I’m not working in food retail anymore.
Have/had friends and family who work/worked for supermarkets across England and Wales - to have the same problem.
Every bank holiday without fail, the supermarkets stayed open til 9pm or 10pm and it always goes quiet from 3-4pm The same goes from opening the store to 11am. It’s boring.
Then come the day after bank holidays, it’s busy as “I didn’t know you were open yesterday”. Look at the opening hours!
Why can’t supermarkets look at their sales figures for each hour and close the stores at 5pm?
Even now I was in a supermarket this morning and overheard two shop assistants moaning about there is no need to stay open on Monday.
