To wonder why people are so protective of retail workers but not those who work in hospitality?

[PaperTape]

A lot of people are horrified at the thought of weekend working for retail workers but they don’t care about the people who work in hospitality. So they don’t want shops open on Sundays because of family time and so much consumerism yet they will quite happily go out to cafes, amusement parks, historical places and the like ignoring the fact that all these places have to be be staffed and the workers are also being pulled away from their ‘family’

I think people care about both retail and hospitality workers. However, they understand that hospitality workers are expected to work when most people are at leisure, that’s the whole point.

Nobody would expect a cocktail bar only being open during working hours. It doesn’t make sense to compare people buying goods which can be physically done for about 10 hours a day 7 days a week apart from Sunday to places that cater for when the majority are not at work. This thread makes no sense.

Plenty of big malls stay open till 10pm full of retail shops. The retail workers there understand that they are expected to work while people spend their leisure time shopping.
